[edit]

"Balinese Hinduism is deeply interwoven with art and ritual, and is less preoccupied with scripture, law, and belief than Islam in Indonesia"

This makes it seem as if the islam in the rest of indonesia (java, sumatra) is followed like it should. This is not the case, there are many occasions where the common indonesian follows ancient traditions instead of islamic law etc. 81.68.255.36 (talk) 00:28, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Most of Balinese came to Bali Island after Islam entered Java. Beside is culture and religion, supposed many Balinese are craftmens from previous Hindu Palace in Java Island. With domination of Hinduism of Balinese people (a few Balinese are Muslim), so for centuries, the culture in Bali is still same.Gsarwa (talk) 06:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Greece

[edit]

"Bali received the Best Island award from Travel and Leisure in 2010. [31] The island of Bali won because of its attractive surroundings (both mountain and coastal areas), diverse tourist attractions, excellent international and local restaurants, and the friendliness of the local people. According to BBC Travel released in 2011, Bali is one of the World's Best Islands, rank in second after Greece.[32]"

Greece is not an island. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.76.66.70 (talk) 10:36, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Every institution has own categories. The category maybe island and mainland, but the other institution category maybe mixed it. Most of Greece certainly mainland, but Greece has also several islands and even previous ship tycoon Onassis has an own island.Gsarwa (talk) 06:46, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BaliBali Province – The name is Provinsi Bali. The article is about the province. If there is a primary topic it would maybe be Bali Island. But that is a separate debate and can be solved later. Furthermore, except for the Philippines, all other provinces in the ASEAN area use the full name, "Foo Province". A redirect can be left for now.

Not to mention what I'm guessing are 100s or 1000s of links throughout wikipedia that will have to be changed. --Merbabu (talk) 00:12, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If the history is in the wrong article, it should be moved to the right article -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 06:19, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of 'Climate'

[edit]

There is no information of any kind about the climate or weather, which is what I came to the page looking for.Blurryman (talk) 22:20, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Possible plagiarism (and dead source link)

[edit]

This sounds like plagiarism, but the link is dead so I can't tell for sure:

"Tens of thousands of single women throng the beaches of Bali in Indonesia every year. For decades, young Balinese men have taken advantage of the louche and laid-back atmosphere to find love and lucre from female tourists—Japanese, European and Australian for the most part—who by all accounts seem perfectly happy with the arrangement."

Here's the (currently unreachable) reference given: http://asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2440&Itemid=202

The exact same text appears in Prostitution in Indonesia and Female sex tourism.

Sex tourism section removed

[edit]

I really do not see what it added to the article, considering no other article about Indonesian provinces has a section about it. --Toomanyaccountsargh (talk) 11:50, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I repeat, I do not see the value in having a section about sex tourism when no other article about an Indonesian province does. --Toomanyaccountsargh (talk) 12:31, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed... maybe this issue is better addressed in Prostitution in Indonesia article, since actually prostitution in Indonesia is not monopolized by the Bali province. Gunkarta  talk  12:33, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar in "Caste systems"

[edit]

Why is Present Perfect used there? Isn't the section talking about "pre-modern Bali"?--Adûnâi (talk) 10:04, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicting Religion statistics

[edit]

In the Religion infobox section, the data there represents that 91.97% of Bali practices Hinduism. This is conflicting with the information in the lede, stating:

> Bali is the only Hindu-majority province in Indonesia, with 86.9% of the population adhering to Balinese Hinduism.

The claim made in the infobox cites a 2018 stats tracking website, while the claim made in the lede cites a 2010 census which is used for almost all other population statistics in the article. pauliesnug (message / contribs) 20:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
