balinese language
The Balinese language should be mentioned.
looking at the map
By looking at the map I can not really find the location of the island of Bali.
color of bali
Color of Bali has been tweaked from green to red to improve contrast; Davenbelle 21:14, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)

no bali was not hit by the Tsunami --84.9.63.136 17:27, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
See 2002 Bali bombing for the bombing in Kuta, Bali. The island was unaffected by the 2004 tsunami; it's perhaps 2000 km east of Aceh, which was hardest-hit, and is well protected by Sumatra and Java. 02:02, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
moving images
I've moved some images to relevant sections, moved the beach image here, and moved the commented-out Bali rice terraces and Rice terraces at entrance to Gunung Kawi Temple here to declutter the article. References for captions are and -Wikibob 03:40, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
"Balinese bow"
In a play I'm in, it says that one of the characters does a "Balinese bow" to the audience's applause. Does anyone know if this is something specific, or just a general flouncy bow?
A Balinese bow would most likely be bent at the waist with both arms stretched out to one side of the torso and the most important jesture is with the hands. The thumb is pressed back onto the palm, and fingers are outstretched and bent back as much as possible. Think of an Hindu mudra pose using fingers arched back towards your wrist.
History, beaches and arts
I've removed the sentences about the fame of Bali's beaches and its artistic traditions from the History section. As they stood, they had no relevance to history. -Pgan002 04:43, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Maybe you should change it to a new section - Beaches or shift it to Geography . Zheliel (I know I am Pro) 23:55, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
religion and water
This article needs expansion, and a page created, with a disambiguation link to the existing article. Bali's Water Temples Rescued by Computers - Two University of California Professors Prove Scientific Validity of Ancient Agricultural System (1989)

legong keraton?
the picture of balinese dancers in this article is mislabled as legong keraton. The costumes are more in the style of Tari Belibes or perhaps even Chendrawasih?
Collaboration
It didn't seem to go so well. Any suggestions why not? --Merbabu 00:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Some links on Balinese economy
Here's some random links on the economy of Bali (after some Googling and filtering): http://www.baliguide.com/geography.html http://www.undp.or.id/programme/conflict/bali_crisis.asp
I think this would be a very helpful page (if I could speak Indonesian): http://www.bali.go.id/profil2004/profil_bali2004_e.asp?iType=27

Recently I was involved in a number of long conversations with an Indian scholar holidaying in Bali. He came from the Orissa region of Indian, previously known as Kalinga.
He explained that Asoka the Great, an ancient Indian King, had conquered Kalinga then, following that, pushed forward into what in now Thailand, then into Sumatra, Java and Bali.
The name Bali, my Indian friend explained, is derived from the names of the towns in Kalinga (Orissa). Here is the list of such:

Coffee?
Could someone write something on Bali's production of coffee through history?
Waterbom Park
Hey Guys, I just created the Waterbom Park and Spa page so that can link to this page I just don't know where! Scoreed 08:01, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Muslims from other island
Who wrote this following sentence? "The estimated percentage of Muslim residents of Bali from other islands is about 25%." I wonder where he/she got this information from, while even the intensive census concluded only 5.7% of Bali inhabitants are Muslims. Matahari Pagi 08:35, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Geography
This should really be exapnded into a full article. We should also mention the beaches and coasts of bali in more detail. 220.238.37.172 (talk) 12:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
To-Do List
OK, to push for GA and then FA status, some ideas of fixing content to go below: Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Environment and wildlife section needs expanding
- Proper in-line citations for everything
- Fix up images used in article
Casliber - thanks for taking the initiative. This article could be really good, and deserves to be. General thoughts from me would be to ensure quality. Some areas could do with more quantity, but the History section, for example, I think is long enough - we just need to provide inline cites. Also, i notice the lead. We need to ensure that it doesn't have material that is not covered in the main article. Ie, it's a very brief summary of the article - see WP:LEAD. Another thing that has broad but not total support, is that in-line cites don't need to be in the lead as long as that exact point is cited in the body. This is the case in Indonesia which is an FA.
That's it for now. --Merbabu (talk) 00:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Typo
Can someone with knowledge of the topic correct this: Most estimates suggest that at least 500,000 people were killed across Indonesia, with an estimated 1 killed in Bali, equivalent to 5 per cent of the island's population. Drutt (talk) 06:
