Pictures
I know they're all pretty accurate, but isn't it a bit too much? maybe a resize will do... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boshiaki (talk • contribs) 09:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I resized them, and I think it looks better now. The images are not great and the resolution is very low. Would be great if somebody could replace them with better ones. Elekhh (talk) 05:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Could some information about the history of Chinese settlement in this city be added to this article? 76.189.141.37 (talk) 19:11, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Etymology subsection
There are some issues with the wording of the 6th and 7th sentences under the subsection on etymology. I was attempting to improve it when I realised that the problems were more involved than a simple typo fix. The 6th sentence currently reads: "Some even eventually settled in the port." Having the words "even" and "eventually" next to each other weakens the sentence. This is further weakened by a second instance of the word "eventually" near the start of the 7th sentence. "They eventually contributed to the culture of the Banjar people whose culture is a mixture of Javanese, Malay, and Dayak cultures." I recommend combining the two sentences into something like: "Some even settled in the port, where they eventually contributed to..." It is arguable that the word "some" may need qualifying, for example, "Some people", "Several of the populace", or perhaps specify who they were, e.g. were they the Dayaks? Thus the sentence could start: "A number of the Dayaks"...) There is also an issue with the number of instances of the word "culture" and "cultures" in the last part of the 7th sentence: "...to the culture of the Banjar people whose culture is a mixture of Javanese, Malay, and Dayak cultures." I am not sure how to improve this last part. We might be able to get away with one instance of "culture" and one instance of "cultures", but it doesn't read well the way it is. Hope this helps.
