West Papua
Item: User:Daeron/Scratch or Papua_(Indonesian_province)

Discuss on: Talk:Papua_(Indonesian_province)

Description: Known in western countries since 1961 as West Papua, I extended the article history section about 3 weeks ago to explain why the US thought it had to support Indonesia against Papuan independance in 1962.

Remarks: Article became subject to edit war (my version gets reverted over within minutes) between myself and others who believe article should remain under the common English name of West Papua, and those who believe the term West Papua should be expunged from Wikipedia. I believe my version (also avail. here in case of reversion) explains where and who the country is; has fair NPOV; and has worthwhile starter content in its Regions, Geography, and Ecology sections. Please tell us what you think on the Talk page. All comments welcome, even spelling or grammar corrections, and comments on the maps used, I hope others can help improve article over time. ;-)Daeron 20:02, 6 May 2004 (UTC)
