Hi there, I have been working on the Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia pages for the past four years and eight months. I am thinking of ending my work on those timelines at the end of December 2024 since the Malaysian government and health authorities no longer treat it as a pandemic and have ended lockdown measures. The Wikipedia global timeline also stopped in 2023. Just wanted to check with other users working on Malaysian topics. I'm originally from Malaysia but have migrated to New Zealand. I mainly work on New Zealand topics now including the New Zealand timeline. I am thinking of ending that timeline at the end of the year as well since COVID is no longer considered a pandemic down under. Cheers. Andykatib (talk) 07:38, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that that COVID-19 will no longer be tracked, so there is little to reflect here. Thanks for the amazing dedication. CMD (talk) 08:01, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Chipmunkdavis:, will stop coverage at the end of December 2024. Cheers. Andykatib (talk) 19:32, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello WikiProject Malaysia:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

The Malaysia MOS hasn't been touched since 2021, some common practices at the time there may have changed since them and someone aought to go through it (such as the name of Tun Abdul Razak's page). Also as for as I'm aware the page still needs an RFC. DervotNum4 (talk) 06:47, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings all.

I have created a new location map of cities and municipalities in Malaysia at Module:Location map/data/Malaysia municipalities. Credits to Derkommander0916 for the municipal boundaries. The base map being SVG, further improvements are still doable.

The idea is to use this map for articles about cities, municipalities and local governments. For the time being, I have added this map in select articles below.

• Kuala Lumpur
• Petaling Jaya
• Subang Jaya
• George Town, Penang
• Seberang Perai
• Malacca City
• Ipoh
• Seremban
• Kuching
• Miri
• Kota Kinabalu

Feel free to drop any suggestions or comments regarding this. hundenvonPG (talk) 03:15, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Not sure if there are many people actively watching this page, but I'd appreciate it if someone could look into Mesbmr6710 (talk · contribs)'s recent article creations. A lot (if not all) of them exhibit features that indicate the texts were AI-generated. I've tagged Malaccan-Siamese war for deletion, as so many things are wrong there, with only fake references, I don't think it can be saved without a complete rewrite. But I'm not quite sure about their other articles, as I'm neither familiar with the history nor the language. There's Battle of Fort Legap, Battle of Sakilkilo Village, Battle of Tebedu and Gumbang, KD Sri Selangor incident, Operation Gubir II, Raid on Kalabakan, Whisper Enemy War, Bintangor, Sarawak#Operation Ngayau III, Draft:Battle of Batu Pahat (1456), Draft:Operation Rambo II, and Draft:Singaporean 2nd Infantry ambush. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:10, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe at least half of their articles are actually valid, although highly obscure in nature. Most of his articles relate to Konfrontasi, the Malacca Sultanate, and the Second Emergency.

However, they're probably not doing a good job on references. gavre (al. PenangLion) (talk) 12:16, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Fort Legap appears to be just a direct copy of Kanang anak Langkau, but with sources, which does make me suspect the sources are made up. CMD (talk) 12:34, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I double checked the articles. I retract what I said earlier. They took preexisting articles (like Gubir shootdown) and spun them into seperate articles (Operation Gubir II), hence the large amounts of incomplete citations (as they did not copy the references into their articles).

Some of the articles they created are technically valid (considering some are actual historical events), but he exaggerated some content. I think the best way is to revert the articles back to drafts or rewrite them from the ground up. gavre (al. PenangLion) (talk) 12:51, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The creator is blocked as a sockpuppet. Given the apparent fake sourcing and the sockpuppeting, I'm going to G5 these articles. CMD (talk) 22:16, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It turns out there was a mistake in the SPI closure, so the G5 deletions weren't valid. I've notified the deleting admin. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:09, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
