==Moved Fiction to Its Own Page==
It seems like most people wanted this, so I went ahead and worked on this page.  The fiction is preserved, if anyone cared for it, and was moved to its own page: [[Pre-Outbreak History of Malton]].  The more glossary-like page that I made still needs some work.  Notably the Game History section is just a link, and should probably be expanded to a summary of the major events of the game.  --[[User:Zarneverfike|Zarneverfike]] 06:39, 10 June 2010 (BST)

== Location ==
Saying that it could be in "South Africa, America, Canada, Australia or Belize" more or less directly contradicts the rest of the article. Just wanted to mention that.--{{User:Labine50/sig}} 04:19, 7 April 2009 (BST)

== Demonym ==
Was "Maltonian" the only demonym considered for Malton? What about "Maltonite?" --[[User:El Payaso Malo|Bishop Vagancia I]] 09:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
:Aye mate, I'm for that!--[[User:Super Nweb|Super Nweb]] 08:25, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

==Suggestion for Picture==

As of now there is no picture for Malton on it's page. I suggest this [http://images.francisfrith.com/c10/450/46/M141023.jpg picture]. It is of a real city named Malton, it even has a newspaper office with a sign ontop that says "The Malton Gazette". I think this is a perfect fit for out cities picture. Please vote below int he way we do for other suggestions, and remember, sign your posts!!!--[[User:Super Nweb|Super Nweb]] 08:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

# Yes - I thought of it.--[[User:Super Nweb|Super Nweb]] 08:07, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
#'''Nay''' - I don't like the picture. :| --{{User:Janus Abernathy/Sig}} 12:21, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
# Yes, but only cause anythings better than nothing. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 08:55, 2 April 2009 (BST)
#'''Nope''' - Anything is not better than nothing. --[[User:Midianian|Midianian]]<small><sup>¦[[User talk:Midianian|T]]¦[[Developing Suggestions|DS]]¦[[Suggestions|SP]]¦</sup></small> 19:06, 2 April 2009 (BST)
#'''Nope''' - Not my cup of tea. {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 21:08, 2 April 2009 (BST)
#'''no''' - should we even have a pic for malton, since its location could be anywhere?--{{User:Jock Horror/signature}} 21:11, 2 April 2009 (BST)

== Removing Fanfic Content ==

i was gonna remove all fanfic from this page, but then i realized most of the page would be gone by doing so. The organizations section was removed, and i think its the only i can easily remove from there cuz it only serves to advertise groups who are not even that famous in Malton. If such section would to remain, only mentions to the military and necrotech should remain. --[[User:Hagnat|People's Commissar Hagnat]] <sup>[[User talk:Hagnat|talk]] [[Special:Listusers/sysop|mod]]</sup> 15:01, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

== Latin Motto ==

I think invenire is a bad verb to use there, it means more to 'stumble upon', rather than find by searching, which is what reperio does; thus: Quaeris et nihil reperis. --[[User:Venerax|Venerax]] 08:53, 27 May 2009 (BST)
:I think someone has already suggested a better translation before, no one wanted to change it because they didn't want to have to re-edit the coat of arms, as I think the original uploader of it went AWOL. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig}} 09:00, 27 May 2009 (BST)

...Considering the motto on this page is already different to the 'official unofficial' coat of arms Latin.. (Which is rubbish, really: "I search (for) you because/which I find nowhere"), so I'll just go ahead; again, it is only a minor, fussy change. --[[User:Venerax|Venerax]] 05:05, 28 May 2009 (BST)

== Flag ==

Why does the flag is equal to a real life kingdom flag (Kingdom of Castile & Leon)? Can't we change it?

== Survivor/Zed Disbalance? ==

What is up with the throwoff between survivors and zombies? I don't get it... why are survivor numbers spiking now, of all times. Is it related to PKer groups in anyway? -- [[Comrade Texidor]]
:It was my opinion that Survivors have had this numerical advantage over zombies for nearly two years now. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 09:23, 31 March 2010 (BST)
:Isn't there a stat line chart or something we can keep track of? --[[Comrade Texidor]] 14:51, 4 April 2010 (BST)
::Ta Da!  [[Survivor-Zombie Imbalance]] --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 21:27, 4 April 2010 (BST)
:::PKing is a teeny tiny minority of the action in Malton. I mean, I do try, but there's about 100 pro-survivor types for every PKer out there. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 21:35, 4 April 2010 (BST)
::::In fact the biggest danger to survivors is often themselves. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 21:36, 4 April 2010 (BST)

While on the topic, my stats page has zombies listed as 6155 of 20676 players. However, on the class breakdown, it says ''6156'' characters are zombies. The survivor total is correct though. Anybody know who our mystery zombie is?--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 23:49, 4 April 2010 (BST)
:Someone standing up between you seeing 6155 on the first page, and 6156 on the other? Check the number of bodies or total players on both pages in case the number is off there too. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 00:19, 5 April 2010 (BST)
::It's on the same page, and I even refreshed a few times. The numbers have changed, but there's still a difference of one. The number isn't off for bodies. Bodies and reviving bodies are both included under survivor for class breakdown. The total also has one less at the top of the page.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 23:39, 5 April 2010 (BST)
:::You're thinking of [http://www.urbandead.com/profile.cgi?id=11 Bub]. His class is military, despite having died in the early outbreaks. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 08:35, 24 June 2010 (BST)
::::Then surely that would mean a decrease in zombies on the class list, and increase in military, and a decrease in zombies on the top list.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 09:04, 24 June 2010 (BST)

==Bad Mojo==
I liked it better [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=Malton&diff=prev&oldid=1724358 before]. I wanna change it back! --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 08:35, 24 June 2010 (BST)

===Voting (Moving fanfiction back here)===
#'''Yes''' - With more than 150,000 views, this page needs some bulk. And it's not like it was low quality stuff. The way it is now, readers of this page will be dissatisfied, and think either that this wiki is underdeveloped or that Malton isn't an important part of UD, while at the same time, the eloquent and elaborate history which has already been written will be hardly read read at all. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 08:35, 24 June 2010 (BST)
#'''No''' [[The Dead]] has 75,000 views. Popular does not equate with size. Plus its still linked. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 10:04, 24 June 2010 (BST)

==Coat of arms Resemblance==

This must have been pointed out by someone before me, but the Seal of Malton is an almost exact copy of the Spanish region of Castilla seal. See it for yourselves:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castile_and_Le%C3%B3n
Remarkable.

== Is the end near? ==

Hey guys, I got a question. So far, there is a major zombie outbreak in the west side of Malton, and its the biggest one i've ever seen. Could Malton's end be near, like the 2 other Urban Dead cities? --[[User:Suburb 22 Zombies|Suburb 22 Zombies]] 03:07, 26 April 2011 (BST)
