Port Klang or Port Kelang?

Should this article be titled Port Klang or Port Kelang? "Klang" sounds like a colonial holdover. The (American English) references I've run into spelling it "Kelang", which is consonant with the Malaysian spelling. Encyclopaedia Britannica 2004's entry also lists it as "Port Kelang". Google seems evenly split (23,000 "Port Klang" vs. 23,100 "Port Kelang"). Do Malaysian English speakers have a preference? -- Jeff Q 08:53, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I will shortly create a redirect from Port Kelang and wait a while for responses to this query. Unless someone can cite an authoritative reference for "Klang", I'll swap the articles so that Port Klang is the redirect for Port Kelang. -- Jeff Q 08:53, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I have swapped the pages as described above, so that the main article is Port Kelang. I have also updated the links coming from or through Port Klang, Klang, or Kelang. -- Jeff Q 09:59, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I've swapped it back to Port Klang. The official english name of Pelabuhan Klang is Port Klang. See ...

• NALIS Districts/Towns in Selangor
• ODP's Port Klang category

Sabre23t, I wish you had spoken up sometime in the month between my query for contrary indications and my actual update. Now there are a number of links that have become redirects, including several that are double redirects and are thus effectively broken. I was careful to fix all the links (as page movers are supposed to do) when I made the change. I guess I'll put them back, too. ☺ — Jeff Q 11:46, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sorry about the the "double redirects", I'm certainly not yet a proficient Wikipedian. :-/ I'd respond sooner if I'd noticed the comments earlier. I've just learnt to use "my watchlist". I'm also more active in ODP rather than here. Feel free to email me if you need any feedback on anything Malaysia related. -- sabre23t 01:59, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

the ports in klang

Just wondering if this article is about the ports at Port Klang or is it about the settlement/town called Port Klang? Or both? Or is it about the port called Port Klang (if it still exists)? Because if it is about the town, then we would need the relevant infobox, etc. I think it should be about the town of Port Klang, just like Port Moresby or Port-au-Prince which are cities with the word "port" in it. And of course, we may include a sizable section about the shipping port and its history. Furthermore, there are separate articles already about the ports at Port Klang namely Westport, Northport, etc. ќמшמφטтгמ^torque 16:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

• Of course the town itself needs an article, an article about the port itself would probably actually be Port of Port Klang or Port Klang Port, or, port details may be added to Malaysian state corporation article Port Klang Authority, which supervises and governs the ports as landlord, and hires port operating companies to operate the facilities. --Mr Accountable (talk) 17:38, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay. So this article will be about the settlement/town of Port Klang. Regarding the article about the port, i think the existing articles of West Port, Malaysia, Southpoint, Malaysia and Northport, Malaysia would suffice? Another thing: i think that the Port Klang should be a disambiguation page with links to Port Klang (town), Port Klang Authority and to the 3 ports at Port Klang. I think most people who types "port klang" in the searchbox are more interested to know about the port(s) instead of the town. This means that we may need to rename this article. Any comments? ќמшמφטтгמ^torque 11:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Why is the words 'Port Swettenham' bolded? BejinhanTalk 13:17, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
