Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

[edit]

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!

MOS question

[edit]

Hello all,

Is Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Malaysia-related articles ready for consensus yet?

Thanks so much!

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]

New location map for Malaysian cities and municipalities

[edit]

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.

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

Need eyes on this new user's contributions

[edit]

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]
Thank you for your feedback. The sources I used in the article Battle of Fort Legap are legitimate and not fake. I understand there may be some confusion, but the article is not copied from Kanang anak Langkau. While there may be some overlapping content due to the nature of both articles being related to similar historical events, the focus and context are different. Kanang anak Langkau discusses a broader narrative, whereas Battle of Fort Legap focuses specifically on a different incident. I encourage further reading on both topics, as there may be nuances that differentiate them. If you'd like further clarification or wish to discuss the references used, I'm more than happy to assist. Mesbmr6710 (talk) 16:17, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If Battle of Fort Legap was not copied from Kanang anak Langkau, then how did it end up with identical wording? CMD (talk) 16:21, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your attention. I would like to clarify that the articles I have written are based on original sources that I have found. However, I acknowledge that these sources are somewhat limited and not as abundant as one might expect. I have made every effort to ensure the information is accurate, but I understand there may be shortcomings in the references. If there are any suggestions to improve or add more reliable sources, I would greatly appreciate them. Mesbmr6710 (talk) 16:11, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at others, they seem to be unattributed translations from id.wiki, for example Battle of Sakilkilo Village is a direct translation of id:Pertempuran Kampung Sakilkilo. CMD (talk) 10:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The content at KD Selangor was originally added on 11 December by 2001:D08:D8:D574:CCCC:7E1E:F7E0:5A45 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). --Paul_012 (talk) 17:53, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was hoping to see if Mesbmr6710 might be willing to learn, but their above messages, which read very unhumanlike, and other interactions such as outright lying about their use of AI-generated text (which is evidently clear at Malaccan-Siamese war, as demonstrated at the AfD), as well as signing a talk page comment with a fake signature, are stretching WP:AGF and raising serious WP:CIR issues. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
