Cirebon
Dosnt matter how elaborate the etymology is - there is a need for a reference or citation! cheers!SatuSuro 04:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

It is well worth responding to talk messages - and if you are new and not sure how to do so - you might find another editor will not take too kindly to anecdotal material if there is no citation or ref! cheers SatuSuro 04:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Please forgive me, this is my first time trying to edit an article on Wikipedia, and I do not know how respond to talk messages. (I hope I am doing it correctly here.) Your point about refernce and citation is very well taken, and I will prepeare before my next attempt. Thank you for understandingIndonesiaphile 04:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Indonesiaphile

Hey - take it easy (as my friend in Muntilan used to say) I have articles from 2 years ago I havent fixed refs for - but - hey if you can find something - great! My copy of cerbon (forgot author) is hiding in a box somewhere. Hey enjoy wikipedia - any questions - go for it - btw I think Matthew Cohen has some published work that might help - http://www.iias.nl/oideion/journal/menu-j/authors/cohen.html.

If you ever get shy about any of this (all this comes up on goggle in seconds flat) - email me - i have a gmail a/c and am on most days - cheers SatuSuro 04:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks again. I have visited Cirebon since 1976, and have a real love for the culture, and am starting an informational website on the topic. Off to sleep. Salam hangat Indonesiaphile 05:07, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Indonesiaphile

That would be helpful, thank you. (How do I find your gmail a/c?) BTW, Matthew Cohen is an excellent scholar, and his book about Cirebon shadow puppet thater is rich with history and cultural detail. Indonesiaphile 04:56, 21 May 2007 (UTC) Indonesiaphile
