Thanks for drawing that to my attention. I agree the two articles should be merged. My inclination would be to use some of the material at ] for my article, ], but this might seem rather arrogant given that a number of people have been working on the former article for some time. Which do you think should be absorbed by which? ] 10:37, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I feel the ] was invloved with the Sultanate of Malacca before the coming of the Spaniards, but there is very little records to prove this. That is why I place the category there.--] 08:43, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

well -- I agree it's a borderline case, and I would have voted 'redirect' in the vfd. I doubt that Misplaced Pages's reputation will be damaged by reporting unnotable terms (we have, after all, the ] :) ] <small>]</small> 09:10, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

I presume that your concerns that we discussed relate to ] and ], and their possible relationship with ]. I think that I agree with you, paticularly with Colin Chee, who has been discredited on other . I suggest that if they continue to act in this manner, I think the following cause of action should be taken:
*A question on relevant user talk pages or the kafir talk page about sockpuppetry. If this does not produce any results then:
*A request for mediation or arbitration and a 'suspected sockpuppet' tag on relevant pages

I will keep watching as well, but hopefully they will stop editing the page now that it has been reverted once more to exclude kafirophobia ] 16:06, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

: This is libel to accuse me of being related to Colin Chee but it is natural Earth will resort to such libel as he is a Muslim. I urge you to cease and desist as I can take appropriate action (for instance reporting to Misplaced Pages) as slander is against Misplaced Pages policy. Also, I have never engaged in socketpuppetry and I suspect Earth hacked my account. I have since changed my password. To Earth, please go directly to my Talk page as I do not frequent this page. ] 23:21, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

: Whether you keep watching or not is immaterial. If you are a Muslim, which I suspect you of being, then you are trying to prevent this term to enter the encyclopedia as it is offensive to you and your co-religionists. This is unfair as Misplaced Pages should be neutral and Islamophobia is allowed in, so I take note that perhaps you want Misplaced Pages only to show Islamic POV and not non-Islam POV. Earth even supports the Islamist terrorists in Southern Thailand and so he is not a person credible to discuss Kafirphobia. After all, Misplaced Pages is not a democracy so Earth can be thrown out. ] 23:21, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

::Who says I'm supporting the terrorist? I'm only concerned with human rights. I don't support any religious fanatic, Islamist or your beliefs. ] 04:58, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
:::Yes you are supporting terrorists. Go and read my talk page. Have fun. ] 01:52, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

:::This is irrelevent to your case. Even if I were Satan himself, you still hasn't provide proof that you're not a sockpuppet. ] 04:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

== Your bot Pearle ==

Hey, your bot recategorizes a couple of things from environment to environmentalism. Personally, I think it's wrong. For instance, the ] is more about the environment instead of a political belief. ] 04:23, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
:Indeed. The entirety of Category:Environment was approved for merger with the latter by ], and Pearle was blindly implementing that decision. I have left a note at ] explaining the situation and linking to background information. The participants of that page will need to figure out what to do now; I'm sure your input on that would be helpful. Thanks, ] 04:33, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I don't intend to spam your talk page or anything, but since you seem to frequently edit articles related to Malaysian politics, you might be interested . In any case, I'm currently canvassing experiences of the Malaysian school system, so I thought (seeing as you are an intellectual and everything, to be editing Misplaced Pages), ? It'd really help, as I'm in the process of polishing a completed draft of a book I'd like to publish about Malaysian schools. Thanks, and have a nice day. :) ] | ] 14:48, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

As a fellow Michigan alum, I was wondering if you would be interested in helping out with this article? I have recently placed it on peer review and so far it seems that I am the only one working on the article. Thanks. ] 20:14, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
:Definately! Does that include vandalizing OSU's page? ] 02:01, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
::Vandalizing the OSU article? Not if we want to have a Buckeye get at us! Anyways, what I am trying to do is get the UM article featured and someday make it to the front page, as a means of annoying those people from OSU and MSU :-). You can look at the article's talk page to see what is needed. ] 21:10, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
::There are some sections I believe need to be expanded, such as academics and student life. If you have any ideas, please tell me. ] 22:41, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
:::There are two sections that I am concerned about: academics (the statistics need to be cited, more information on faculty need to be added) and student life (notably organizations, since what I noted is quite sparse. There must be other groups worth mentioning). Also, I need someone else to look over the wording of the article (one user complained about it on peer review). Other than that, I don't see anything else that could be improved upon. ] 05:58, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

*I am in the middle of confirming claims that UM is one of the best universities. Can you help out? What I need are citations that back up such claims. Also, ] noted that the tone of the article is a bit too positive. Can you think of some negatives, other than the high cost of tuition? Thanks. ] 03:49, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
**Thanks. I already used the first source. As for the second source, is "Michigan University" the same as UM? The naming scheme doesn't make sense since they used "University of (state)" as well. As for UM being too left-wing, where do you believe this can be placed? Thanks. ] 04:27, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
***Thanks for the information. I only had access to the PDF file (not the main listing, which requires me to log in). If you wish to add information, go ahead but be sure that whatever you add is verifiable. As you probably known, there is no university article that is FA, so we are going into unexplored territory here. ] 04:54, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

*I did some more editing of the article (including the addition of negatives whenever possible). Could you look at the article and comment on it? I think it is close to FA, but I am waiting on another reviewer to respond. Thanks. ] 23:50, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
**By the way, your image of the Big House is tagged as being copyrighted. I am wary of including such an image (I am looking for images with GFDL-compatible licenses). If you have taken the image, why is it marked as copyrighted? ] 23:53, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
***Okay, the image seems to be alright so I included it in the article. ] 06:52, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

*I think the article is close to FA. However, can you please look at it and see if there is anything more that is needed? Thanks. ] 21:44, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

*I was wondering if you can get a chance to look over the article and comment on it further? Thanks. ] 20:52, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

*Well, the article is now on the FAC board. Few if no comments so far. Do you mind looking over it and leaving a comment? Thanks. ] 00:10, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

*] is on schedule in updating the FA listings (which can be seen by looking at the FA listings editing history), and I'm happy to say that the University of Michigan article is now featured (the first featured university article)! ] 07:57, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Discussion of changes

Please don't revert changes to the Srivijaya page when I've asked for discussion on that article's talk page. Unilateral changes without discussion do not do a lot to advance Misplaced Pages. I don't want to get into an edit war so I'll hold off making further changes until I hear from you. Alan 15:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
