[edit] Unsigned comment

Pulau is Indonesian word for 'island'. Pulau Bangka Island will means Bangka Island Island. This is the same mistake as using the term ATM machine (the M is abbreviation for Machine). The other common mistake is the term 'Bahasa Indonesia language' as appose to 'Indonesian Language'.

Oppose. This is encyclopaedia, not tourist page. Please go to Wikitravel:Bangka instead. — Indon (reply) — 10:39, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese spelling of town names

To avoid confusion by the readers, I removed chinese spelling of town names in the island. Please go to the town's (city)'s article to add the spelling with the requirement that the alternative spelling is officially used in the town. — Indon (reply) — 10:45, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
