message: I suggest that the featured article/picture in this portal should be changed on a monthly basis. Maybe someone should suggest a new article/image to be featured and then, a voting session could be held for one week (before the next month). Thank you and please express your opinion.

message: I've been sending out notifications to existing members of WikiProject Malaysia on the revamping of the project. If I have missed anyone out, my sincere apologies. The first stage of the revamping would be updating the members list and collecting ideas/feedback. 
* For existing members, please confirm yourselves in the member list here. The list would then be transcluded to the current members list.
* For those who are interested in this project, whether you're from Malaysia or not, we would love your contributions. Please add yourselves to the members list mentioned above.
* We're collecting suggestions/feedback on this project. It has been stagnant for a while and I think that it's time it moves forward. To propose any suggestions, give comments or feedback, please write it here.
In conclusion, I'll be sending regular updates to the respective talk pages. If there's any questions, please leave them in the Ideas and feedback page or on my talk page. Cheers and happy editing, BejinhanTalk  07:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello, my friends: A group of us are working on clearing the backlog at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_lacking_sources_from_October_2006. The article in the above header has been without sources for the past four years and may be removed if none are added. I wonder if you can help do so.

message: WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:36, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

message: There is ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names) concerning the disambiguation of placenames.  The default standard in most countries is assumed to be City, Country, as in Cityname, Malaysia.  It seems that this isn't currently happening in Malaysia, however, as we have titles like Bukit Tinggi, Pahang (not Bukit Tinggi, Malaysia) and Maran (town) (not Maran, Malaysia.)  Is there some kind of local guideline in this WikiProject that we should be aware of? 162 etc. (talk) 16:48, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not believe we have a local guideline, it is a small Wikiproject. Regarding the two examples above, they follow general disambiguation principles. Bukit Tinggi is not a unique name within Malaysia, and many Malaysian towns such as Maran share names with other levels of administration. CMD (talk) 17:02, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
