Talk:Wali Sanga

message: Wali Sanga are the reputed founders of Islam in Java- the importance on a cultural basis is one of over 400 years of traditions arising from their activities. The low importance is not understanding of javanesse culture or its components SatuSuro 06:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The nine walis were Sufi teachers who spread Islam and did all variety of powerful and unusual acts across Java. The histories of these men are not always clear. In fact, if you try to count all of them, you will end up with more than nine. Some sources say that there was more than one group of nine. The most probable explanation is that there was a loose council of nine religious leaders, and that as older members retired or passed away, new members were brought into this council.
Symbolically, for later rulers on Java, the wali songo provided a link between the rulers of Majapahit or earlier kingdoms, and the rulers of Mataram, and eventually the Sultans of Yogya and Surakarta. They were both links in the dynastic family trees and cultural links, as they adapted the old arts and traditions to the new Islamic reality.
In spite of the confusion, and some of the legends told about them, these were real men, and some of them such as Gunungjati or Kalijogo (Kali Jaga) were important figures who helped create the Java -- and the Indonesia -- that we know today. 
Here is an incomplete (or maybe too complete!) list of the Wali Songo. Most of them did their work in the late 1400s to mid-1500s C.E.:

thread_title: Text from wali songo article

message: The section titled "Grave Locations" primarily lists a set of wali songo and only mentions a few of their graves. It would be more useful to readers to devote this section to summarizing the inter-relationships among the wali songo, perhaps displaying the list as a chart. Dates of births and deaths (where available, or at least estimated) should be included in order to clarify the fact that some wali taught others. Grave sites should be retained in the section, but presented as auxiliary info subordinate to a new title such as "Relationships among the Wali Songo". There is good reason for considering them as a set, which is not stated clearly here. If anything, the mention of additional wali suggests that the association is almost arbitrary.

message: This article, at this stage (9 May 2016), contains some contradicting years, especially regarding of Maulana Malik Ibrahim. Moreover, the writing style needs further editing.Kembangraps (talk) 14:40, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradicting dates

message: The Dha'wah section is full of POV (e.g., asserts that Majapahit had class structure but subsequent Muslim societies did not), reads like original research (long and rambling with lots of interpretations and very few references), and is insulting ("Javanese were arrogant"). I recommend deleting this entire section, and moving it to Spread of Islam page. Martindo (talk) 11:06, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Most secondary sources point back to legends, which makes verification difficult for this article. Some of the recent sources are either echoic or strongly POV. Note that both Marco Polo and Cheng Ho supposedly used the same phrase to describe the "ignorant" local inhabitants: "worshipped trees, rocks, and spirits." The reference attributing this phrase to Cheng Ho is from an NU publication, which appears to be a medium for proselytizing. Thus, although NU is "reliable" in the sense of deserving respect and having a large organization, its inevitable POV on religion make its publications less "reliable".
