No need for clean up

This guy here is just so stupid. He's commenting on the website and how proud he is that his school has at last 'made' it to Wikipedia. Pls delete the caption that says this site needs clean up. To the guy writing comment on this site; do it somewhere else. Thank You. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.58.86.15 (talk) 04:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Stop the comments already!

With all due respect, I created the entry of Kolej DPAH Abdillah to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is NOT FRIENDSTER or MYSPACE -and in fact is a worldwide encyclopaedia. All the entries would then be edited by other Wikipedians. In fact, the reason I'm writing in English is because this webpage would then be reviewed by senior Wikipedians for its neutrality. The reason why I'm not allowing anyone to post comments like "how proud I am we are in Wikipedia" is because Wikipedia's talk page is only for FACTS DISPUTE! By writing comments like oh-I'm-so-proud in Bahasa Sarawak would made other Wikipedians, (mostly from English speaking countries) thought that there are some factual errors in Kolej Abdillah's entry. Therefore, if you want to express yourslef- do them in Friendster. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Syed niz89 (talk • contribs) 12:24, 22 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

True. Talk page is not a general forum to talk about the topic subject. Discussion is limited to improve the page per WP:NOTFORUM Chongkian (talk) 01:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up

This article is in definite need of clean up. The current state of the article is very, very messy. Wikipedia is not an indiscrimate source of information. Under the Extra-curricular achievements heading, for example, what justifies the addition of rugby, YEP and taekwando clubs but not the other clubs? And the famous alumni, are they really that famous? Think in the international context, not local.

As for the pictures, please specify the sources! I don't believe that Hussein Onn's picture is created by you, since you was not even born yet at that time. Your actions could potentially land Wikipedia in hot water, legally. Put the fair use tag instead. Syed, don't turn this article into a catastrophe. I'll be making further edits to the article for it to be in line with Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not revert such edits.– Matthew A. Lockhart ^(talk) 15:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Datu Patinggi Abang Haji Abdillah College → Kolej DPAH Abdillah – Kolej DPAH Abdillah is the common name of the subject and should be used per WP:COMMONNAME, plus, the current title is too precise per WP:PRECISION 2001:448A:5063:3D40:6453:22C9:E842:2FFD (talk) 03:43, 5 October 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). --Ahecht (TALK[reply]

I could be on board with changing to the native language version Kolej, since the English proper name appears to be made up by Wikipedia. But I'm not seeing very many sources calling it Kolej Abdillah. Where it's shortened in Web results and news sources, it looks like Kolej DPAH Abdillah is what's typically used. So suggest we maybe change to that. — Amakuru (talk) 06:08, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because the IP editor cannot be notified and therefore may not see Amakuru's comment (which was copied from WP:RM/TR), I have gone ahead and WP:BOLDly changed the target of this edit request from Kolej Abdillah to Kolej DPAH Abdillah when opening this discussion.----Ahecht (TALK

Support move to Kolej DPAH Abdillah per, among other things, the crest shown in the article's infobox. --Ahecht (TALK
