[edit] References

Due to the nature of the style of this article, and lack of references - it reads like an appropriation of the cerita rakyat series that gramedia used to bring out in Indonesian - with relatively simplistic popular etymologies from relatively shallow level understandings of what was being written about. There is very recent scholarship in BKI which probably pours water on the whole of the reasoning provided in the contents of this article. I would caution very careful treading on the buddhist/hindu distinctions of this site, however, I will leave the article as is until I get my hands on the BKI article.

[edit] Change Ratu Boko's Palace to simply Ratu Boko

Since the site is not clear weather it was monastery or palace, and for the sake of convenience in searching... why don't we change this article title from Ratu Boko'e Palace to simply Ratu Boko.... Gunkarta 17:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Done (Caniago 05:49, 29 September 2007 (UTC))

A step in the right direction - they never really knew what it was - (having wandered through the area I can understand why)- selective dutch and indonesian and others digs and inspections and speculations in the 20 th century have not really helped much either. The uncertainty issue is best served by the removal of the word - well done! SatuSuro 06:27, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
