text: Every map I've checked has "Maale" or "Maale (Male)".  --Connel MacKenzie -  wikt 09:44, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're all wrong. The correct spelling is Male' with an apostrophe, since it's an abbreviation of the old official name Malei. Most tourists just use the term Malé as it hints at the correct pronounciation and avoids confusion with the English term male. CloutierFan02 (talk) 23:13, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All Maldivian government and news websites use the spelling Male'.  I suggest that this article is moved to this spelling. Bazonka (talk) 10:58, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The abbreviation in Male' is used so since it is sometimes easier to type so than the latin é. The correct spelling is Malé. - ziansh | talk 10:31, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling 

message: I think it may be time to expand the article to include encyclopedic text which briefly describes the growth project of the President Gayoom:  Hulhumalé.  As the article stands right now, there is a See Also link to Hulhumalé, but no contextual description that might lead the reader to choose to link there.  There is a well-documented news story on this at .  N2e (talk) 14:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The current text says:
:"Malé was struck by tsunami that followed the Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26, 2004, which swept across the western coast of Sumatra and flooded two-thirds of the city with its waves. The earthquake and subsequent tsunamis reportedly killed over 220,000 people around the rim of the Indian Ocean."
However, it basically only says that Male was struck, but all other data is general. I'm gonna remove it, since it although I believe some information about the tsunami's effect should be in (preferably in a seperate section), what's in now is useless info.

thread_title:  Effects of Tsunami 

message: Is this article about the island of Malé (1.952 km², pop. 92,555) or about the city of Malé (5.798 km², pop. 103,693, including the islands of Villingili, Hulhumalé und Hulhulé)? Different parts of the article suggest one or another, it's not consistent. The area relates to the island, the population to the whole city.
I think the article should be about the whole city. Within the article, the island of Malé can be treated in a paragraph or a few lines, I don't think it needs its own article, does it? I'll try to work the article over.--Ratzer (talk) 04:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
