[edit] earlier comments
This article does not reference the political and economic events of the 1998-2005 period in a way which is encyclopediac or even acceptable. The results of internal struggles, East Timor, terrorism, the delicate dance of parliamentary government that followed Suharto are all missing.
Needs major expansion.

[edit] Reformasi
The title of this entry seriously needs to be changed. The correct translation of 'Reformasi' is 'reform', not 'reformation' - which has religious connotations. It is a common mistake, but any Indonesian student should know this (unsigned)
- I agree. "Reform" is the correct translation. Davidelit 03:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with the translation reformasi to reform, but i don't agree the title should be changed from 'reformasi'. The word reformasi has very specific connotations. Reform can be anything - reform of what? Reform of the Indonesian primary school department? Reform of the taxation system? Just too general and is thus meaningless. Whereas 'reformasi' in the specific context of post-May 1998 is a well-known term amongst any English speaker with a mild interest in Indonesia. --Merbabu 05:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- That makes a lot of sense. The use of the French word 'detente', or even the Hebrew word 'Shoah' instead of 'holocaust' are precedents. By the way reform of the primary school and taxation systems would be welcome :-) Davidelit 06:57, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
