Question from someone who knows nothing about the topic: is there a reason that "Malesia" is spelled differently from "Malaysia"? I assume they are pronounced the same, since they both are partially formed from the word "Malay". -- llywrch 21:05, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Until this article is backed up with references and cites I'm going to consider the work "Malesia" a made word or a hoax. Buster 23:10, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A little Googling would have helped Buster and Llywrch. [1] 70.71.186.133 (talk) 19:58, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnote change

I changed the hatnote because the terms "Malaysia" and "Malesia" are not alternative spellings of each other in English. The definition for "Malesia" in English does not include Malaysia. You do not use "Malaysia" for "Malesia", and vice versa. Whatever cross-usage of the terms is the result of error.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 08:29, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Map of WGSRPD version 1 is wrong

According to the article, the original definition of Malesia by WGSRPD included the Bismarcks, but they are quite clearly excluded in the map proposing to illustrate that definition. I don't know how to fix the map-- perhaps someone else could. MayerG (talk) 21:25, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
