message: I was wondering if anyone knows if anyone was killed or injured when the bomb exploded on the bus on the way to Bali.  See history section, recent developments.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnpacklambert (talk • contribs) 
:Hmmm - once i found info on that when googling Abu Bakar Bashir for Wikipedia. hang on I will see what I can find again. A far as internet info goes, this and the botched Borobudur bombing are really difficult. Info is also conflicting.  Merbabu 03:12, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK this is used on the Borobudur page. Very brief - see footnotes page 14. Merbabu 03:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ...and [this http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0502/p07s01-woap.html] - none of which specifically mentions the bus casualties (if any). Merbabu 03:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The Islamisation of Indonesia has meant that Hindu deity names are avoided in placenames such as Surakarta if possible.  The city's name as Suryakarta venerates the Hindu Sun god who is traditionally the ancestor of the ruling dynasty.  Conveniently for Muslims, dropping the y leaves a Koranic reference in that Suras are the sub-Books of the Koran.  Hindus can have the last laugh on this change, however, as Sura is the goddess of Wine - banned under Islam.  210.50.176.146 12:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Jamaah islam or Baasyir are not related in general with Surakarta. Please do not add them to this article. Thank You. 
As a born Solonese, i'm so glad that finally Jamaah islamiyah and Baasyir moved out from this page.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiSanktGerard (talk • contribs) 09:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Unexplained insertion

message: The flagicons for twin towns have been restored. The use of flag icons in  twin town/sister city items is standard Wikipedia practice and is not  about  be challenged here. Further removals may  be met  with  warnings for disruptive editing to  make a point. --Kudpung (talk) 05:18, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: call me old fashioned and quaint, but I my interpretation of wikipedia's civilty policies kind of precluded block warnings as openers to discusions with long term good faith editors who are only trying to edit by the style guide. I'm mean - ffs. Get a grip. IMHO there are superior approaches using a bit more tact and diplomacy.--Merbabu (talk) 06:12, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I never intended anything against any user and I came upon the article "Surakarta", while researching the biography of an Indonesian Roman Catholic bishop. The only reason, that made me edit this article was the different look of the "sisters cities section". So I am not a bad faith editor or anything close it.I have edited or created at about 1500 articles and none of them with controversial intention. There was a very interesting information for me about the sistership between Surakarta and Montana in Bulgaria, because I am Bulgarian and my father comes from just that region.That is why I checked second time the article after a few days and found the reverted revision.Drjmarkov (talk) 07:14, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi all, as I noted here, I'm going to improve this article per the Indonesian article. Any help (edits) and/or suggestion are welcomed. Terima kasih. Bennylin (talk) 08:43, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, i think we need to make the History - Struggle for Independence - section more simple. There are some irrelevant informations and the writing looks untidy. Let's improve it. Thanks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiSanktGerard (talk • contribs) 09:20, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. In Indonesian WP, I've split it to separate page. Thanks for the copyedit and improvement. Gonna finish all the sect-stub once I got the time.  Bennylin (talk) 12:56, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi i want to give suggestion about famous person from Surakarta, i think there is still more person, excluding the names that you had mentioned in the page, may I? Sepedakuning (talk) 15:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
