Description

Hello, Wikipedians! I am seeking your support for WikiProject Kuala Lumpur, a collaborative effort which aims to create, expand, and maintain Kuala Lumpur & surroundings-related articles. If you'd like to help, please vote here. All feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

This project will cover the Kuala Lumpur & surroundings (Klang Valley area).

7. Probably wouldn't join, but the scope is reasonable and there are enough articles and interest from other editors to sustain such a project. Matthewedwards :  Chat  16:26, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

I would suggest just naming the project "WikiProject Kuala Lumpur". Ampersands (&) are reserved URL characters and cause all sorts of problems for bots and such. If you must include the "surroundings" part, you may want to use "and surroundings" rather than "& surroundings". Otherwise you may miss out on various Wikiproject services such as stats and alerts due to bots not parsing things correctly. Kaldari (talk) 20:31, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Due to symbol problem, can the project rename from current to one of the following: WikiProject Kuala Lumpur of WikiProject Klang Valley?Cheong Kok Chun (talk) 06:15, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changed. Let me know if you need any other assistance. Kaldari (talk) 00:23, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
