Pulau or Island?[edit]

Should we create articles with title Pulau X, or X Island? In the list it appears mixed, but most are Pulau X. kawaputra^hello! 14:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The list of islands on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_islands_of_Malaysia is already arranged under Pulau (apart from Sprately ) Cavingliz 02:07, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. but more than 10 article in the list are actually created in the style "X Island". And a smaller number created in the style "X" (with no pulau or island). Just thought we should agree on a standard naming convention when creating more island articles. kawaputra^hello! 06:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
