A certain editor insists on including the term 'Han Chinese' in reference to Malaysian Chinese even though most reputable South-east Asian scholars do not use this term. The copious number of references below and in national libraries in Malaysia should be able to verify this. Request for experts on Chinese diasporic communities in South-east Asia for input. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nameless123456 ( talk • contribs) 11:17, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Many important topics were removed by someone and were replaced by superficial topics.
Eg. The difference between the first wave, second wave and third wave and the various demographic figures and much more.
I hope somebody will revert back to the well-established articles that was written for many decades. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2405:9800:B900:9AFE:D121:466A:19AA:D662 ( talk) 01:53, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
I hope somebody will "revert back" to the "well-established articles" that was "written for many decades". I did not deny the presence of the sense of belonging seems to be still controlling much of the article. More exactly as seen from one of the comments the IP trying to change in the archive talkpage, the sock master and his sockpuppet have been indefinitely blocked in other Wikipedia language for harassment. So the presence of sockpuppetry also cannot be ruled out. Night Lantern halo? 20:48, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
I was looking for a specific number about the Chinese population in Malaysia during the 20th century and I realized this user has deleted that information along with other vast swathes of the article. Why is this allowed? No offense to this person but judging from their user page they seem to be biased against modern China so I don't know if THEY should be allowed to rewrite a whole article about Chinese people just like that and specially I don't why they're being allowed to delete information from such article 177.242.228.117 ( talk) 04:38, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
Nameless123456 ( talk · contribs) is trying to eliminate references to Han Chinese in this article, according to their unique perspective that there are no people of Han Chinese ethnicity in Malaysia. They have been edit-warring to force references to "Han Chinese" out of the article. (This is also going on at other articles: see here.) Thanks, Mathglot ( talk) 11:51, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Please note the surnames of the following individuals when you are citing their works. (Note as stated in the documentation at
Template:Citation#Authors: last: Surname of a single author.
(large formatting added)).
Refer to Malaysian names#Chinese names for further information. In general, if you are unsure which part of another name is the surname and which is the given name (e.g. "Fujio Hara"), you can also check if Wikipedia has index pages for the individual parts of the name, e.g. Fujio — these pages generally clarify whether something is a given name or a surname. If you need to cite works by different authors with the same surname published in the same year, you can affix a letter to one of the years.

Please don't remove commonly used term or to claim that is rarely-used when it is commonly used. There are sources that tell us it has been used for a very long time (Google book search gives results from 1930s to the present- [11] [12] and it is likely to have been used much earlier. Huayi is used locally only relatively recently. If you want to add term huayi, do that but with sources, but don't remove another term that is commonly used. Wikipedia article is here to inform reader worldwide what terms are used, it is not about what you or what you think. Hzh ( talk) 04:49, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
