The list of schools is getting unwieldy, and is in danger of getting too comprehensive. Bandung is a city of 5 million plus people, and there are hundreds of schools in the city. Any suggestions on how to best present the information? Julius.kusuma 12:59, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
When talking about education in Bandung, I guess it is good to talk about the formal and non formal one. There are a lot of non formal education in Bandung. Plus there are still a lot of children that are unable to read in Bandung. The rate is quite high. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.249.26.84 (talk • contribs) 10:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
hi i have several question about the history of the bandung first in our bandungnese believe (in a book from Mr. S. Kunto - BANDOENG TEMPO DOELOE), it is stated that the build of bandung was by the order of the governor general, to move the capital of the two kabupaten to the spot near the main road (a road to connect places in java so the dutch were more prepared for britis invasion in java). if you go to asia africa street you'll see a monument of the place where the governor general strike his staff to the ground to spot the place for the alun-alun of bandung (but the bupati move the alun-alun several meter west because of some kind "fengshui" calculation). and about the mayor, from the book, it is stated that the first mayor is the third one in wikipedia list.
can anyone tell me which is the right one? because majority of bandungnese (including the government) believe what inside the book! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.69.101.171 (talk • contribs).
Hi, I'm just joining in to help Bandung article being untagged from a confusing article. There are some unnecessary information in the article. For example, the list of majors and mottos. If this article is read by the citizen of Bandung, then it would be useful. However, for the English speaking person, who wants to know about the city, I think this is absolutely useless. There is no need to know who are former city majors. It is enough to put the current major and motto in the city infobox, at the beginning of the article. Thus, I suggest to eliminate them. --- Urang bandung 07:04, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
== Motto == The motto of Bandung usually changes with the changing of its mayor. It is not a rule of law but the trend seems to be that way. It is usually in a form of acronym. Later, as the city is flooded with influx of newcomers from other parts of Indonesia, its motto is in sundanese "''Bandung Heurin ku Tangtung''" which means Bandung full of people. Reflecting the indigenous people's dislike of newcomers who brings their own tradition. "''Gemah Ripah Wibawa Mukti''", as shown in the coat-of-arms of Bandung, means "rich soil prosperous people". Recently, the mayor of Bandung, Dada Rosada, has publicized a new motto "''Bermartabat''", which is an acronym from Bersih (clean), Makmur (prosperous), Taat (religious obedience), Bersahabat (friendly). The motto itself translates as "Dignified" == Law and government == The City of Bandung is divided into 26 subdistricts (''kecamatan''): [[Sukasari]], [[Cidadap]], <br> [[Coblong]], [[Cibeunying Kaler]], [[Cibeunying Kidul]], [[Sukajadi]], [[Cicendo]], [[Andir]], <br> [[Bandung Kulon]], [[Babakan Ciparay]], [[Astana Anyar]], [[Bojongloa Kaler]], [[Bojongloa Kidul]],<br> [[Bandung Kidul]], [[Regol]], [[Lengkong]], [[Sumur Bandung]], [[Bandung Wetan]], <br> [[Kiara Condong]], [[Batununggal]], [[Cicadas]], [[Margacinta]], [[Rancasari]], [[Arcamanik]], <br> [[Ujungberung]], and [[Cibiru]]. The chronological list of the Mayor of Bandung: * [[E.A. Maurenbrecher]] (1906-1907) * [[R.E. Krijboom]] (1907-1908) * [[J.A. van Der Ent]] (1909-1910) * [[J.J. Verwijk]] (1910-1912) * [[C.C.B. van Vlenier]] (1912-1913) * [[B. van Bijveld]] (1913-1920) * [[B. Coops]] (1920-1921) * [[S.A. Reitsma]] (1921-1928) * [[B. Coops]] (1928-1934) * [[J.E.A. van Volsogen Kuhr]] (1934-1936) * [[J.M. Wesselink]] (1936-1942) * [[N. Beets]] (1942-1945) * [[R.A. Atmadinata]] (1945-1946) * [[R. Siamsurizal]] * [[Ukar Bratakusumah]] (1946-1949) * [[R. Enoch]] (1949-1956) * [[R. Priatna Kusumah]] (1956-1966) * [[R. Didi Jukardi]] (1966-1968) * [[Hidayat Sukarmadijaya]] (1968-1971) * [[Otje Djundjunan]] (1971-1976) * [[Ucu Junaedi]] (1976-1978) * [[Husein Wangsaatmaja]] (1978-1983) * [[Ateng Wahyudi]] (1983-1993) * [[Wahyu Hamidjaja]] (1993-1998) * [[Aa Tarmana]] (1998-2004) * [[Dada Rosada]] (2004-) AA Tarmana was the favourite in the 2004 mayoral election (elected by the state parliament, not direct election by the people), but overnight it was overturned when Dada Rosada was suddenly elected instead. {{citationneeded}} Ever since the mayor Dada Rosada came into power, Bandung has grown ever more islamic than ever, with the renovation of [[Bandung Great Mosque|the great mosque]] which basically consumes the downtown city square, and the implementation of strict no prostitution state law (''perda'') which the mayor vows to clean up all prostitutes from the city. The cleanup effort is to be completed in November 2006, with the completion of a ''Madrasah'' (islamic school) in the prostitution localization of Saritem Street. Recently, nightly sweeps of the city arrested women and accused them of prostitution, basically they arrested every women in public places at night. The ones who could not produce any form of identification or a husband to vouch for them will be arrested and charged as prostitutes.
I am trying to improve this page, but somebody has a preference of the unrepresentative Education section. There must be a lot of writing in the section, as Bandung has more prominence in the education. The only two listed schools: St. Aloysius and Bandung Fe Institute, do not represent education in Bandung. What is Fe institue anyway, compared to major universities in the city?? Before I edit the section, could somebody tell me the reason of letting these two schools? Someone else has edited the section with more representative way, but it was reverted back. — Indon 11:28, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Somebody put a the WP:NPOV in dispute tag in the article page. Could you please tell me what are the dispute? What part of the article that does not give NPOV? — Indon 08:18, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I could copyedit them, but I'm afraid I don't know much about Bandung, so I'm afraid the real meaning will change if I edit it. So yeah, stuff like that.. Just remember, if you want to point about something which is a thought or things like that, just change the wording and provide citations and everything will be alright. Take care -- Imoeng 09:04, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Dude, this article looks like something out of a travel agent's brochure. It is certainly not a good article. Also, it doesn't seem to tell a complete story of the city with all it's downfall. Like the destruction of the architectural orientation of the alun-alun area (which was brushed off hastily) nor the 60's riots among other things. Many references are merely opinions of the writer (like the taxi references). Thus requiring NPOV tag. This article does not deserve good article nomination. Feureau
Responding to your request for feedback:
It doesn't read like a travel agents brochure - "the traffic is infamous" - hardly likely to appeal, but it does still show evidence of the editor's opinion. Cut down on comments like "interestingly" - the reader will decide whether it is interesting. Not the worst I've seen by a long shot though. Yomanganitalk 15:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've thought about this carefully, your thing about the 60's is a bit unfair - as the editors are clearly born 1985 + and if you have any experience of new order bureaucratic management of knowledge of local history - its unlikely that there's anything in the public domain/easy acccess to info about it. Having lived in another part of java myself, I would say local info about issues of that era do not find their way into easily accessible for locals info at all - even if it was documented. Your arts on the conference in the earlier sukarno era are more likely covered - by online sources, but real info on the 60's are more likely in basements in canberra, leiden and cornell than they are in the public domain in contemporary java :)
All right, I have a solution to resolve the issue of incomplete Bandung history, i.e. riots in 60s, etc. I've made a main article of Bandung history (see History section). It is also similar with many articles about a city, for example Adelaide, Cleveland, Ohio, etc. The article about Bandung history is still exacly equal with the history section in this article, so please expand it to make a complete history of Bandung. I'm going to remove the please cleanup tag for this reason. — Indon 09:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit] |
I've corrected the history section of Bandung from several previous errors. Here are the main corrections:
1) RAA Wiranatakusumah II was NOT living in 1930s, he was the bupati (regent) who ruled Bandung area from the 1790s till 1820s.
2) RAA Wiranatakusumah II was the FOUNDER OF BANDUNG, NOT Daendels. Daendels merely asked the regent to move his court from Krapyak (in today's Baleendah) to the Groote Postweg to the north in 1811. It was Wiranatakusumah who established the city and constructed its first buildings. There were practically no Europeans in Bandung until the 1880s.
3) The British threat did not come from Malaysia, as the British had not colonised Malaysia in the 1810s. The British threat and the source of the eventual British invasion was India.
at the start of the article it says its the fourth, and on first paragraph it says its third... which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.230.140.180 (talk) 18:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm taking out the flag. There is no local flag in indonesia. All counties, provinces, and cities may have coa under indonesian law, but currently no local flag. If the box should contains ACTUAL fact, then the flag should be out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.163.79.60 (talk) 07:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Even black freedom movement activists in the United States referred Bandung as Afro-Asian solidarity in 1960s.[1]
What was missing after "referred"? Sentence didn't make sense as is ChikeJ (talk) 07:27, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could someone with knowledge of Indonesia expand or reference this article? Thanks, 84.92.117.93 (talk) 20:37, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In response to my reverted edits, I believe that although the table may not look the best, Wikipedia is not about astetics and the flags are always used in this sister city section. Also, the added region information I find very helpful. Even if we don't want to include the table, flag icons should be added to the current bullet point list, as this is used in every sister city section in Wikipedia.
