Talk:Sulawesi

message: * The governor of Sulawesi, Drs. Sarundayang, describes Sulawesi as a "safe" place for tourists, "the land of smiling people"; but it may not be so safe if you live there. In October, 2005, four teenage girls were attacked on their way to school by machete-wielding killers, presumably Muslims. (Muslim groups have claimed responsibility for most of the terrorist attacks in northern Sulawesi.) Three of the girls were be-headed, while one escaped with severe slashes across her face. Apparently, northern Sulawesi still has a ways to go in becoming truly safe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.24.93.219 (talk) 17:31, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I just removed some vandalism from the People section of this article. I'm afraid it's a prime target for vandals because it's blank and seems always to have been so. It'd be great if someone with some interest in this topic could put something in that section. It's tempting to delete the section altogether, and perhaps I should have done so, but I'd prefer that someone put something in it. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 22:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Well, I saw we have a flag of it in the article, but couldn't find a single word mentioning it. Do we have a separate article on it (if we do, why is it not linked?) Who are they? What do they want? I'll see if Google helps any. Regardz, nepTune 13:12, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a separatist movement during the early days of Indonesian Independence. But the movement is not united and centralized at South Sulawesi, led by Kahar Muzakkar, who is also, shockingly, along with Sukarno fought against the Dutch. But due to disagreement about what type of government will Indonesia be (Kahar was in favor with federalism), he turned against Sukarno as well as the nationalist, and led a rebellion. But the rebellion was crushed by the nationalist army. In the early days of Indonesian Independence, there were many rebellions, like Bukit Tinggi rebellion in Sumatra and other provinces as well.Pejuang bahasa 01:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

message: It is not clear to which part of Sulawesi the 'Arts and Culture' section refers. It is known that Sulawesi is quite a diverse island, with a number of different peoples and languages (of which Minahasa, Mamasa, Toraja, Bugis, Makassar are the better known), a fact which is not properly reflected in the article UncleMatt 17:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

In addition, Mike Morwood says he has now uncovered stone tools on nearby Sulawesi. These could be almost two million years old, he believes, which suggests the whole region was populated by very ancient humans for a startlingly long part of human prehistory. "This is going to put the cat among the pigeons," Morwood says.76.17.118.157 (talk) 04:56, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect that paleoanthropologists are going to take Morwood's findings with a grain of salt from now, since his dating of the Flores Man was so ....optimistic. Kortoso (talk) 16:46, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Recent evidence of ancient homo on Sulawesi (Celebes)

message: The caldera that is at the heart of this island is amazing.  Given that this is the eleventh largest island in the world and that the outline of this caldera is clearly visible within and central to Indonesia, I wonder how it compares to other known calderas.  This has got to be one of the largest in the world (50 mile diameter!).  Seems worthy of some comment within the geography section.  It seems to be about the same size as the original Krakatao caldera (long before the lava dome eruption of 1883), and both appear to line up well with the Reunion hot spot.   Note that I am not talking about Tambora on the north penninsula (which is trivial in comparison).

message: Formerly when? All over Wikipedia I see "Sulawesi (formerly Celebes)" but I have no idea when the name "changed". I found a map from 1970 which still listed the island as Celebes. Anyone? --76.18.43.253 (talk) 20:31, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

message: The second paragraph (mostly the first sentence) of the "History" section needs to be edited; I'd 'fix' it but I cannot discern the intended meaning of the sentence. 
Also, the tense should be changed to plural tense (were) from the singular (was) throughout the paragraph - I'll leave that to whomever fixes the first sentence.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by EyeKnows (talk • contribs) 13:46, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
