Talk:Candi of Indonesia

message: It would be good to see which text/website you folks are using - as I have differing points of "location" for some of the javanese ones SatuSuro 15:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The source is extremely dodgy - it was from a tourist brochure I have - so I wouldn't be surprised if there are lots of errors. Feel free to fix with more reliable information. (Caniago 22:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Locations

message: There are some Candi articles on the ID wikipedia, at :id:Kategori:Candi. I notice doing some google searches tonight that there are quite a few Candi missing from my list, particularly in East Java (, ). Would be worthwhile finding a few reliable Candi websites and merging in the missing entries. Agree with SatuSuro that one article per Candi is probably overkill, but there may be some more interesting/important Candi which could be an exception. Would be great to have at least an overview map to see the distribution of Candi across Java, but it may be difficult to get the necessary geo data to produce it? Just reiterating, I won't have the time in the near future to help out with further with this, but I'm sure you can have some fun with this article without me! (Caniago 13:51, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Most sources that I have used in the past separate the east java from the central - with separate maps, and the more ddetailed actually do (a) Kedu Valley, sides of Merapi
(b) Prambanan area for example.  I think one overview map is not a good idea - 3 or 4 so that the detail is good enough. SatuSuro 13:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Geographically challenged tourist brochures and editors etc etc

message: If it has been tagged by hindu - it needs the buddhist tag as well.  Also - now that proper refs have been cited - I would suggest that we  concentrate on a -separate- list of all identified candi in Indonesia - but this article to have the main clusters written about ?  Anyone any ideas on this? SatuSuro 02:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Now it has the buddhist project on it  - strongly suggest we follow the indic guidelines - even though there is literature suggesting that there are traces of tibetan buddhism in some sites in sumatra and java SatuSuro 03:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Status of this article

message: Since this article is a stand alone list, how about changing the title into List of Candi of Indonesia or List of Candi in Indonesia ? Similar to other list articles. I have made similar page with List of volcanoes in Indonesia. — Indon (reply) — 10:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Pokoknya, I think the content of the article is fine and makes sense (ie, ancient temples) but article title needs to reflect this. How about Ancient Temples of Indonesia?--Merbabu 02:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Apologies

message: The quote at the head of the article mentions temples in Java, Sumatra and Bali, but no Balinese Candi are listed. What exactly qualifies as a Candi? Would Tampak Siring count? It's thought to be 11th century, as are nearby Gunung Kawi and Goa Gajah, but I don't know if these qualify. Anyway, Candi or not, Tampak Siring and Gunung Kawi could do with articles, so that's given me something to do! I'll go and dig out my photos and see if I've anything that's good enough to upload.
Actually, this article  seems to indicate that Gunung Kawi does contain Candi, but I'd like someone else's opinion before adding these to the list.

thread_title: Bali?

message: Having a lack of sources and knowledge about candis, I uploaded free pictures instead. 
* Candi Mendut
* Borobudur
* Candi Sukuh

thread_title:  Picture of Candis 

message: Hai.. i'm just an amateur photographer and i maybe can help providing free pictures for your articles and shorten the redlink long list. My portfolio i think would be National Parks in Jawa Timur as i'm working to find trusted guides fellows which my favorite thing to do is exploring the forest, but i can provide pictures of Indonesia candi too. Please guide me the best way where to upload the pictures. I have some pictures of candi Penataran, if you think the pictures are not good enough, i can delete them.. no hard feeling.
I'm building galleries for your consideration :
my DCM Gallery
my CHIPS Gallery
Looking forward to hearing from you.

thread_title:  Introduction 

message: I just deleted the comparison with Bamiyan and Abu Simbel: A comparison with Bamiyan seems misleading, and Abu Simbel isn't a good point of reference at all for talk about Buddhist or Hindu (or mixed) monuments. Panghuang (talk) 10:29, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Gunung Kawi

message: I find both the Terminology & Etymology sections of this article to be a bit incomplete but I'm not sure about editing it myself. Neither of these sections talk about the fact that the word caṇḍi is, in fact, an Old Javanese word. I also find the part about the word prāsāda described in the Terminology section being suggested as the only word used in ancient Java for a temple while caṇḍi was not is completely problematic, as prāsāda is a Sanskrit word whereas caṇḍi is Javanese. I would appreciate anyone willing to add this to the sections mentioned above with a huge thank you. 36.73.32.246 (talk) 12:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
