[edit] Title
Finally this is done - nice work Davidelit. Some thoughts, questions, etc:
- Is "Liberal Democracy" the best name for this? Is it really Lib Democracy? I'm not saying it isn't, but just asking the question.
- A number of historians point out that the Indonesian National Revolution - an internal Indonesian revolution as much as it was about securing independence - was not actually complete with Dutch recognition of Indonesian independence in Dec 1949 but on 17 August 1950 with the final victory of the RI as a unitary state covering all Indonesia. Remember, Dec 1949 did not grant the RI sovereignty over all Indonesia, rather the United States of Indonesia. The Indonesian National Revolution article recognises this, and I think this new article should be consistent with the previous.
- Would it be appropriate to put the dates of this period into the article name? Ie, "Liberal Democracy Era in Indonesia (1950-1957)". For example, see The Coming of Islam to Indonesia (1200 to 1600)

- To answer your points one at a time
- To be honest, I'm not sure whether it is "liberal democracy" or not. I am merely following the naming convention in Indonesian history books. To be honest, I'm not sure what else we could call it.
- Yes, fair point. Just done it.
- Dates of periods now in article names
Thanks for the input. Davidelit 11:39, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
