Muslim of Moslem

"Rubiah was used as a quarantine place for Indonesian Moslems". The majority of Indonesian articles refer to Muslims, not Moslems, and the latter redirects to the former. Do you prefer Moslem, or is this just a 'cut and paste' issue from the source? --Bwmodular 16:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think both are correct. Let say Muslim to get consistencies. Thanks. — Indon (reply) — 16:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA passed

It is well-written
It is referenced well enough
It covers the subject well enough, delving into many sides of the subject matter
It is NPOV
It is stable
The images and the map contained are comprehensive

Some suggestions

Maybe an image could be included to the "inhabitants" section to illustrate the life on the island, however keeping in mind its small size and relative inaccessibility (both physically and in the virtual world), it is not a block to GA.

Thanks for your time to review this article. I cannot promise the image, because it is difficult to get one with suitable license, esp. from that small island. Oh, I reverted your {{TOCleft}} template, because it looks awkward and most of WP articles do not use that template. — Indon (reply) — 12:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to I can upload this image from Pulau Weh: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3509305&l=00aca59e16&id=613226280 13:16, 24 July 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Globaljuggler (talk • contribs)

Result: The result was delist due to a silent consensus. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみ, ping me when replying 04:54, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have several reasons regarding this reassesment:

The GAN is very old, hence most of the info of the article is very outdated. Example, the dominant economy of the city/island as of 2022 is not agriculture anymore but trade, construction, and social service per BPS 2022
The article content itself is problematic, because the entirety of Weh Island is inside Sabang city. This results in a potentially very similiar content found in Weh Island article should instead be at Sabang, Aceh
The article itself is not that comprehensive

Hence why I believe this article does not meet requirements for Good Article status and reassesment is very much needed. Thank you very much Nyanardsan (talk) 09:57, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
