[edit] Factual accuracy

The problem with this article is that its not based upon WP:reliable sources, and much of the article is therefore wrong. Websites should not be used as information sources until they are considered to be authoritative, and I'm not aware of any websites which are authoritative sources for this topic.

Hi, the Dara Jingga, Bundo Kanduang, both I discovered at ms/id.Wikipedia and many other info too. If possible, you point out the 'incorrect' links, and we improve it. L joo 11:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Firstly, wikipedia cannot reference itself, including other language wikipedia's. Although, if they are reliable one could use references on other language wikipedias. Merbabu 13:17, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

What does it actually say? It is credible? I could not access it for almost a week now. Furthermore, the way the citation is done made it impossible to ascertain the claim. Munoz (2006) wrote that the center of the kingdom shifted to Jambi from Palembang instead Palembang being conquered by Jambi. It is odd to say that Jambi conquered Srivijaya (it may conquer Palembang though) when in fact, Jambi was Srivijaya. In fact, most of the citations do not seem credible and in conflict with some history books (such as Munoz's) that I read. __earth (Talk) 08:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
