Transcontinental country
[edit]Why is it that it is only mentioned in the Geography section that Indonesia is a transcontinental country? Why not state it on the main article summary as well? 2406:3003:2002:2D79:645F:EDDC:481F:15A0 (talk) 10:46, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

“The country’s capital, Jakarta” should be changed to “the country’s largest city” V37z (talk) 13:17, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Question: why? M.Bitton (talk) 23:23, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- It was moved to Nusantara since 17 August 2024 to avoid Jakarta from sinking in the next decade. 2001:FD8:2606:147:2053:6E3D:CDE4:C612 (talk) 00:55, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- No it wasn't. The capital has not yet been moved - it is only a plan. There has been no government announcement about a move. Davidelit (Talk) 01:09, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

i want to change critical error on the wikipedia about indonesia (en wiki) there's called
The name Indonesia derives from the Greek words Indos (Ἰνδός) and nesos (νῆσος), meaning "Indian islands".[12] The name dates back to the 19th century, far predating the formation of independent Indonesia. In 1850, George Windsor Earl, an English ethnologist, proposed the terms Indunesians—and, his preference, Malayunesians—for the inhabitants of the "Indian Archipelago or Malay Archipelago".[13][14] In the same publication, one of his students, James Richardson Logan, used Indonesia as a synonym for Indian Archipelago.[15][16] Dutch academics writing in East Indies publications were reluctant to use Indonesia. They preferred Malay Archipelago (Dutch: Maleische Archipel); the Netherlands East Indies (Nederlandsch Oost Indië), popularly Indië; the East (de Oost); and Insulinde.[17]
which is wrong, malay archipelago is commonly used to call sumatra and smaller island around it. not whole continent of indonesia. commonly indonesia called by "nusantara" (since historical date of majapahit on 1336) or dutch east indies (since early 1620s) i think this is massive wrong when calling indonesian as "malay archipelago" where the malay itself even minority. even javanese not identify himself as malay.
i hope you can unlock this edit, i myself is now learning for Magister degree on my campus on historic matter, and it's sad to see simple things like indonesia "Whole indonesia" being called malay archipelago where the rest of indonesia doesn't even identify as malay's
i can help modify/renew the source with lastest credible research and source too. i hope you can accept my appeal
[1] [2] [3] called whole island (modern day indonesia and part of philipine and whole malaysia as nusantara) and it's own people also call it "Majapahit inside nusantara archipelego" [4] and yeah idealism about "malay archipelego" is some facist malaysian idealism that drive from man made history of "ALAM MELAYU" which said "all South East Asian + some part of south indian, and almost all sea related" is being own by malay which is hughly false, we're all know that almost all of it is exaggerated by malaysian to propaganda that they're the best tribe on south east asia. which is not true. since human had it's own history and past. with that being said. i hope you can move the "melayu archipelago" to "melayu of indonesia" section instead slapping it to entire indonesia which isn't even melayu at all. even nearest people like dayak on kalimantan will not call himself as melayu.
