TFA blurb

George Town is the capital of the Malaysian state of Penang, encompassing Penang Island and surrounding islets. With a population of 794,313 as of 2020, it is the core city of Malaysia's second largest metropolitan area, which has a population of 2.84 million. George Town serves as the commercial centre for northern Malaysia. Its technological sector, anchored by hundreds of multinational companies, has made the city the top exporter in the country. George Town was the first British settlement in Southeast Asia, and its proximity to maritime routes along the Strait of Malacca attracted an influx of immigrants from various parts of Asia. In 1974, the city was merged with the rest of the island, throwing its administrative status into doubt until 2015, when its jurisdiction was reinstated and expanded to cover the entire island and adjacent islets. UNESCO designated the city centre as a World Heritage Site in 2008. (Full article...)

Welcome to FAC

Hi HundenvonPenang and thank you for your nomination to FAC. A few pointers on the process and how to get the best from it:

What to expect

• As a first time nominator at FAC, the nominated article will need to pass a source-to-text integrity spot check and a review for over-close paraphrasing in addition to all of the usual requirements.
• You should be aware that every aspect of the article will be rigorously examined, including the standard of prose; breadth, standard and formatting of sources; image licencing; and adherence to the Manual of Style.

Dealing with reviewers

• Try to deal with comments in a timely and constructive fashion.
• Remember that reviewers are constructively giving their opinion on the article.
• Keep calm when dealing with criticism of any aspect of the article.
• Don't take the criticism personally: reviewers are examining the article – not you!

How to get the best from the process

• Reviewing the work of others is a good way to get a grasp of the process from the other side.
• Reviewing other FACs also increases the likelihood that others will review your nomination – although remember there is no quid pro quo at FAC.

Good luck with your nomination.
