message: Any particular reason this article uses the spelling "Syariah", rather than the more common "Sharia" that is used by both the sources for this article, and our own article on the subject? --Delirium 03:41, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the Malaysian spelling and phrase, hence the term Mahkamah Syariah (Sharia Court). — Bluerで す。 04:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That makes sense to me in the phrase "Mahkamah Syariah", but it seems like when using the English translation "Sharia Court", we ought to use that spelling (as you did in your comment). That's what the sources for this article do, anyway. --Delirium 06:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's normally spelled syariah in Malay, but I agree that it should be changed here so as to not confuse western readers. Borisblue 06:10, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's also normally spelled syariah in Malaysian English; in general, WP:ENGVAR states that "articles that focus on a topic specific to a particular English-speaking country should generally conform to the usage and spelling of that country." cab 06:49, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Unless the spelling "Syariah" is changed to "Sharia" throughout this article, and perhaps anyway, as there is a link to "Sharia" there will need to be something on that page mentioning that the spelling "Syariah" is the Malaysian spelling, and possibly any other different spellings in other countries and other variants of English.  As this article stands, I clicked both links (recognizing both spellings had similar sounds, and expecting an explanation) and was taken to the same page; however as the "Sharia" page stands, it does not contain the spelling "Syariah" at all! (Ideally talk pages like this are purely for contributors, not for readers consulting to get information.) Iph 08:19, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I added a footnote about it on this page; I'll fix the Sharia page too once I can dig up proper citations with page numbers (e.g. Kamus Dewan) Cheers, cab 08:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Spelling

message: While I hardly want to jump on the Defense-of-Islam trolling bandwagon, it is curious that the article quotes the dissent but does not quote the actual ruling.  Presumably, the court ruled in this way for a reason, and not simply because the judges are terrible theocratic chauvanists.  Can someone with access get something relevant up there to present both sides of the issue?  I suspect the court ruled according to jurisdiction conflicts, not ideological conflicts. --Joshua BishopRoby 22:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I found a brief statement that the Chief Justice made when making his ruling and added that to contrast the dissenter. -Atamasama 22:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quote Dissent but not Ruling? 

message: This seems like an item better suited to Wikinews; should be transwiki'ed there to go with the other stories. -- phoebe/(talk)  21:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
