Untitled[edit]

Much of the information on Balikpapan (like the list of mayors) is not to-the-point and could be deleted, while information about the history of the place and its present economic importance could be stressed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paaskynen (talk • contribs).

suggestion of section into articles[edit]

the sections are not long enough to be artciles on their own and would not have enough general interest to be such. Hmains 01:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

content problems[edit]

There is no way of knowing what some parts mean without understanding the original that it was probably translated from, http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kota_Balikpapan. I made a request for help at the Indonesian talk page. --Espoo 18:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

line[edit]

Hints of modern life style can be seen as new hotels and shopping malls have started popping out like mushrooms in the rainforest. (What a pathetic line)125.160.60.222 (talk) 04:21, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Largest city in East Kalimantan?[edit]

What is the largest city in East Kalimantan? The Samarinda article claims it is the largest, with a population of 562,463, yet this article gives Balikpapan's population as 780,000. Which is correct? 72.81.88.127 (talk) 20:18, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
