thread_title: Improvement Drive

message: People of Indonesia don't call this island by that name (Borneo), instead they call it Kalimantan. Since Indonesia occupies the larger part of this island, don't you think that this article should be moved to 'Kalimantan' or 'Kalimantan (Borneo)'?
--I disagree. Kalimantan refers only to the Indonesian part of Borneo. Malaysian inhabitants on the island actually do use the term "Borneo" a lot. One example is the Borneo Post newspaper. Furthermore, Malaysians intepret the term "Kalimantan" as strictly referring to the Indonesian portion of the island.
Since no consensus has been reached between the governments occupying the island, therefore the only term that has been used to refer to the island as a whole is Borneo. Whodhellknew 05:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: First time I've heard of "Kalimantan". I've known the name "Borneo" for 60 years or more. I suspect the same is true of most English speakers.. Koro Neil (talk) 11:30, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Hi, I'm from Kalimantan, Indonesia. Yes, we do consider the Island as a whole as "Kalimantan". So, Brunei, Sabah and Serawak are all on the Kalimantan island for us. Borneo is a slave name, a name made by whites who couldn't pronounce "Brunei" right ;D Matahari Pagi 03:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm, interesting, I had always wondered. I spent some of my childhood in Sarawak and Brunei and it always seemed to me that Kalimantan was a term specific to Indonesia. So the next question would be what name do the inhabitants of the non indonesian parts of "Kalimantan" Island use to refer to the whole island. As far as I can remember the term "Borneo" was used, although the people may have used some sort of "when talking to people of European origin" phrases, while using other words when talking to natives. Yet to add further to a probably already settled discussion. I think "Borneo" is the correct geographic term in most European languages to refer to the Island as a whole without any reference to political issues of today. For example in Malay or Indonesian you use the word :id:Belanda, that is of Portuguese origin, to refer to a country that calls itself :nl:Nederland. The country I was born in is called :dk:Tyskland, :fr:Allemagne, :pl:Niemcy and :id:Jerman of English origin, just to name the main word families and none are related to the name :de:Deutschland, that we use to name ourselves. Do you know the Island called ":id:Kalaallit Nunaat" by those native to it? You may have to read the :id:Greenland article to get a hint. I have seen though that the Indonesian WP has articles called :id:München and :id:Köln in contrast to the Malaysian WP using the English based variants :ms:Munich and :ms:Cologne, so maybe the Indonesian language is more willing to use names the way they are used by those living there. - But English is not Indonesian and an encyclopedia is to be designed such that it can be used by anybody that searches for knowledge and cannot rely on a good education of the users. I think I'll consider "slave name" as POV and not further comment on it as you may feel about your countries past and understand it as you personally wish to. For the origin of the word Borneo I totally agree with you and I think some info on the exact origin might be useful for the article. --T.woelk 10:44, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I know that English is a really selfish language and I don't hope to change that in near future ;). It's just a POV of a mere native from Kalimantan such as myself, and it was only meant to answer that specific question. Mindyou, Kalimantan is not a recent name invented by Indonesian government, my ancestors always used that name. In the Dutch Indies time, Prince Tamjidillah of Banjar Kingdom wrote "Island of Kalimantan" and not "Island of Borneo" in his letter to Dutch Resident (1857). And the sentence that Brunei used to owned most of the island is absurd. They only owned the northern part of it (not even all of them, mind you, as part of it was Sulu's). The Indonesian part of Kalimantan was mostly under Banjar Kingdom, from Kingdom of Sambas until Berau. Matahari Pagi 03:21, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I just want to make it simple. Kalimantan is the Indonesian name for Borneo. In Indonesia, Kalimantan is refer to the whole island, while Borneo is very rarely used and is considered as English name for Kalimantan. While in Malaysia (Sarawak & Sabah) and Brunei, they use Borneo to refer to the whole island and Kalimantan to refer to the Indonesian part of Borneo. 09:36, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge Result 

message: I am aware that there was a discussion, but i still think that a separate article may be needed. The discussion also seem to be that Rigadoun, Satusuro, HoneyBee, and an Anon, opposed the merger (or leaned in favour of not having a merger) vs Merbabu, Matahari Pagi, and Bendtz supporting the merger. Thats 4 (oppose) - 3 (support). Supporters say "Kalimantan" means "Borneo". Is this the historical meaning? Is it still valid today? 
From the article West Kalimantan: 
*It is one of four Indonesian provinces in Kalimantan, the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo.. 
From East Kalimantan:
*Kaltim) is the second largest Indonesian province, located on the Kalimantan region on the east of Borneo island.
See also Central Kalimantan and South Kalimantan. They all seem to suggest that "Kalimantan" refers to the Indonesia portion of Borneo. Similarly there is the article East Malaysia aka Malaysian Borneo. I think the region deserves its own article imo. kawaputratorque 04:26, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps an aritcle, "Kalimantan", be re-created, but be strictly limited to discussion of the terms "Kalimantan" and "Borneo", a list of the Indonesian provinces, and that's it, without regurgitating the list of info on Borneo.

replies: text: PS, it seems that Kalimantan to Indonesians refers to the whole island, while to westerners it means the Indonesian part. Also, isn't Borneo a relic from colonial days now resurrected by travel agents? An (actually intelligent) colleague of mine recently went to "Sabah" on holidays - a few days before he left, he didn't even know that it was part of Malaysia. --Merbabu (talk) 04:38, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yea, im not really a supporter or retaining colonial names. Im not sure whether the travel agents "resurected" the term. I thought thats the name of the island all the while? Yes ive seen this as well: Sabah, Borneo. The name seems to be a useful selling point ;p. Anyhow, since the use of that name appears to be widespread and common (worldwide), then is should be retained. Yes, the Kalimantan article should just explain the meaning as understood by foregners and Indonesian. And perhaps a short history about how the island became partitioned. kawaputratorque 04:55, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I understand your concerns Matahari Pagi - I myself was not so sure on my position initially. However, this is the English encyclopedia and Kalimantan links to a nice short article that explains the various interpretations (ie, the English and Indonesian). --Merbabu (talk) 09:16, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I do understand the fact that this is an English encyclopedia, that's why I already said that I don't expect them to change the way they call the island. What they need to understand is that for Indonesians, the name "Kalimantan" refers to the whole island, that's it. Matahari Pagi (talk) 06:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fine - but don't the first few sentences of both Kalimantan and Borneo already mention the Indonesian usage of "Kalimantan"? --Merbabu (talk) 05:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

text: The whole world seems to think that "Kalimantan" means the Indonesian portion of Borneo, as proven by these two encyclopedic link:  and  (and not to mention articles relating to Kalimantan and Borneo in Wikipedia).

thread_title:  Sabah Origin (Borneo) 

message: Indonesians erroneously refer to the entire island as Kalimantan, not just the Indonesian portion. However, the proper term in both Indonesia and abroad is Borneo Indonesian/Malay:Pulau Borneo. This discrepancy is rooted in Indonesian claims to the entire island, during the Konfrontasi days
First of all, it's not an error from Indonesians's side, it's just a local term.
Second of all, whoever said that the proper term in Indonesia is Pulau Borneo?
Third of all, the so-called "disrepancy" got nothing to do with Konfrontasi or Indonesia's claim to the whole island. This is such a big accusation, and there's no doubt about the nationality of the editor who wrote this.

I do not believe these references should be sumbsumed by the heading 'other links', because they share the characteristic of being part of the media, and are therefore a distinct category of references.

message: Why does the article say nothing at all about the languages spoken on Borneo? It's one of the most important facts about any place, and should have a large section of its own. Koro Neil (talk) 11:34, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

message: This article lacks information on largest cities and towns. Perhaps a description could be added to the Demographics section. cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 10:13, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs a subsection on largest cities and towns 

message: The Demographics subsection has provided a section for the major ethnic groups in the respected territories. With more than 200 ethnic groups residing in Borneo, it is rather impossible to list all of the tribes of Borneo,.
However, the Lun Bawang/Lundayeh are already represented in the subsection, based on the Kalimantan definition - the group categorised under Dayak people, a similar classification in Sarawak where they are officially defined under the Orang Ulu group. Their population in Sabah is numbered around 6,941 (which only constituted 0.2% of the 3,418,785 Sabahan people), while in Brunei they are numbered around 1110 (0.2% of the 460,345 Bruneians).
