[edit] Please fix.

Going by the link I took to get to this page and by what I can gather from the content of the page I think that Nusantara might be a city, country, or region, but the article doesn't specifically say. I can also assume after reading through the page that Nusantara is either in or near Indonesia (or Indonesia itself?). The first thing in the article should say Nusanatara is _____ (city, state, country, region, territory, w/e). I just checked a few different pages and from what I've seen most articles about areas mention what and where they are in the first paragraph. This page talks about where the name came from not what refers to (is it a colloquial outdated name for some area?). I have no knowledge about the topic so I'm begging anyone to please fix this page.Eno-Etile 06:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uhg after a little looking around I found out more or less what Nusantara is, and I am going to make some changes.But this page still needs someone with more knowledge to fix it. I'm not entirely sure that this page needs to be separate from the Malay World article.Eno-Etile 06:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Malay Word and Nusantara are separated concept

I didn't have much to work with, just that they used to be the same article. It's nice to see someone working on this article. Eno-Etile 04:09, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
