I separate the article from Jakarta. I believe the History of Jakarta are longer than the original and hence the article can be expanded. There are some Jakarta Historian such as Mona Lohanda or Adolf Heuken, SJ who are specialized in Batavia under the Colonial Rule. Of course, we also have lot of story of Jakarta in Soekarno era and Soeharto era. Kunderemp 04:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Low importance?

It seems odd to me that the history of a nation's capital can be of "low importance" to the WikiProject of that country, especially for one with such a rich history as Jakarta. Though not a member of the project, I've changed it to high to draw attention to the embryonic state of this article and following the rating of other such histories (e.g. London, Copenhagen, Lima). You'll never see low or mid, though sometimes top (e.g. Athens). Afasmit 00:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
