Talk:Sumatra

Someone should add a section about this, or at least mention it somewhere. This seems like a pretty huge and relevant issue that defines environmental, economic, social, and political conditions on the island. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/12/06/indonesia.burning.rainforest/ 71.182.233.240 (talk) 20:19, 6 December 2009 (UTC)JamesReply

Agreed. Today would be a good day to start since we've just heard about Asia Pulp and Paper's pledge to stop deforestation in "high-carbon stock" and "high-conservation value" forests. Maybe this could fit well into a dedicated Geography page or extended Geography section. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/feb/05/paper-firm-indonesian-deforestation Ian.w.t.n (talk) 20:27, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

My name is Asri Aldila Putri and I am the Stakeholder Relations at Asia Pulp & Paper. I understand and adhere to Wikipedia’s editing policies and therefore, would like to propose the following to the community for review.

The following claims the construction of illegal road but there is no source provided.

“However, the construction of illegal roads through prime tiger habitat has continued since then by companies led by Asia Pulp & Paper.”

A valid source is needed to substantiate the claim or the entry should be removed. Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aldila Putri (talk • contribs) 11:22, 15 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Occasionally I see the spelling "Sumatera". This is the name of the island in the Indonesian language, right? I notice that there are redirects from "Sumatera" to "Sumatra" (ditto for "North Sumatera", etc.) And obviously, because "en.wikipedia.org" is the English-language Wikipedia, the common English name/spelling "Sumatra" should remain here (and as this page's title). But perhaps - because the spelling "Sumatera" is occasionally seen - it should be briefly noted (e.g., in the "Etymology" section) as being the name of the island in the Indonesian language? I notice also that the article's 'info box' - under "Native Name" - says "Sumatra" (which seems wrong, if "Sumatera" is the Indonesian-language name), as well as a name written in the "Jawa" script.)

Not having seen any objections, I changed the "Native Name" in the infobox from "Sumatra" to "Sumatera" (and noted that this is in the Indonesian language). If this is wrong, feel free to revert this. Ross Finlayson (talk) 22:14, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

"Sumatra" is the standard spelling in the Indonesian dictionary. 117.54.111.133 (talk) 06:17, 11 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi there - there are two general banners at the top of the page claiming a need for additional references and suggesting there is original research. Given that they date from 2015 and 2017, they are general/unclear, and there is no reference to them in the talk page - ie, we have no idea what they are here for, or what might be the specific pathway for their removal. So I will remove them now. I note that there are speific citation request tags in the article which i will leave. If people have any specific concerns, they can comment here on talk and/or put a specific tag/s next the specific part of the text - or better still, provide the desired changes themselves :) . --Merbabu (talk) 02:48, 1 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I was asked to write on Talk. I've reinserted the comments about Geography.113.197.13.138 (talk) 05:58, 22 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

You need to explain why additions of "Christmas Island (which belongs to Australia), is about 300 kilometres away." is relevant to the subject, otherwise it'll be reverted Ckfasdf (talk) 07:04, 22 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
