message: I wrote to the DAP National Headquarters to request for photographs of the elected representatives under the allowed free licences by Wikimedia Commons, and the Head of Social Media got back to me. She is asking for my association with Wikipedia and how to proceed with uploading photos of the representatives. How should I get back to her? HejTuWou (talk) 09:22, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi HejTuWou, we have a page Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials which has some text you might be able to adapt! The easiest way for this to proceed is for the copyright holders (presumably the party?) to upload the photos themselves. It is crucial that they understand the terms of the free licence. As for your association, many people do not understand Wikipedia is built by volunteers, perhaps some of the examples at Wikipedia:Example requests for permission may be what you are looking for to help with that.

replies: text: I have followed up with her and told her she can either do batch uploading to Commons directly or to Flickr with the allowed licences! Hope this works out. HejTuWou (talk) 12:31, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it OK if you request further for the DAP press office to issue photographs of their former party leaders (such as Lim Kit Siang, Devan Nair, and Chen Han Min)? That would greatly contribute to Malaysian political articles. Thanks, best regards,  gavre  (al. PenangLion) (talk) 04:33, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

message: I am requesting a discussion on the usage of honorific suffixes for Malaysian biographical articles. The abundance of state titles issued to numerous personnel have inflated their titles to a (sometimes) ridiculous extent, especially when demonstrated in the subject article's infobox. An example would be those of Muhyiddin Yassin, Tunku Abdul Rahman, and Mahathir Mohamad, where their state titles have essentially covered a significant portion of the upper section of the infobox. This is made worse when if we equate state titles as those worthy of inclusion, then it will present the article's number of honours as unrealistic compared those of other national leaders where their honours are equal, or if not more than the Malaysian subject articles themselves.
I propose that:
* The removal of all state titles in the infobox; retaining federal titles only (eg. PSM, KMN, SMN, MP, etc.);
* Inclusion of a new section, namely Awards and honours, to list all their titles comprehensively.

replies: text: Agree with you that those situations are a mess. Elizabeth II has just one position in that infobox field. Lee Kuan Yew has a slightly more expansive four. CMD (talk) 12:56, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

text: I really need to re-open this discussion since there remains sternful editors that insisted on adding as much titles as possible. gavre  (al. PenangLion) (talk) 12:26, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I need guidance on Malacca talk page requested move (Talk:Malacca), if I have done it correctly. I have presented my findings accordingly. 
I also want to inform that user @Hzh has been vocal in opposing, which is acceptable; but calling my rational as a lie makes me feel that this is no longer a healthy discussion and it's a borderline personal harassment. Instead of guiding and discussing, he barked around and citing WP pages and repeating things again and again, and there is no civility here. He as an experienced and wiser editor should approach this matter in more civilised manner. 
Kindly assist. Thank you. nMyghet (talk) 13:01, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
