Thank you very much for your suggestion, my firend.

I am an opinion that the main article of Sunda kingdom must be in http://en.wikipedia/Sunda_kingdom instead of in http://en.wikipedia/Kingdoms_of_Sunda. Kingdoms of Sunda page should have contained a resume of the Sundanese kingdoms.

Beside that, Sunda page (main link to Sunda kingdom) has been filled with unsuitable content as follow:

Sunda may refer to:

Sunda Islands, a group of islands in the western part of the Malay archipelago
Greater Sunda Islands
Lesser Sunda Islands
Sunda Strait, the strait between Java and Sumatra
Sunda Shelf, part of the continental shelf of Southeast Asia, covered by the South China Sea which isolates islands such as # Borneo, Sumatra and Java
Sundaland, a biogeographical region of Southeastern Asia that comprises the Malay Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago islands west of the Wallace Line
Kingdom of Sunda, a kingdom that existed in west part of Java from the 7th century to the 16th century
Sunda edition of Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaSundanese people, an ethnic group in the western part of Java, and a second biggest ethnic group in Indonesia after the Javanese
Sundanese language, the language of the Sundanese
Sundanese script
Kidung Sunda, a literary work that recounts the story of the "Battle of Bubat" between Sundanese and Javanese
Sunda (clan), a clan (gotra) of Jats in India
Sunda (asura), an asura brother of Upasunda
"Sunda", a fictional country in Eric Ambler's thriller "State of Siege" [1]

I think you will agree with my opinion.

Dear admin,

I would like to move the content of "Sunda kingdom" to this page of "Sunda Kingdom". So, please help to vacant this page. The content of the two pages are the same but for the sake of editing history, as DeadEyeArrow said, this page must be deletted first. Thank you for your kind assistance.--Hadiyana (talk) 09:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

Reading two separate articles Kingdom of Sunda and Sunda Kingdom at the moment can create confusion. I suggest that the two articles to be merged. With following points:

Starting of Sunda Kingdom, i.e. separation from Tarumanagara
Twin-kingdom (Sunda - Galuh)
United kingdom
Conflicts and Decline
Historical notes and references

DiN (talk) 09:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I support brother DiN’s proposal to merge the “United Kingdom of Sunda and Galuh” page and “Sunda Kingdom” page. Considering that many literatures (which are supported by primary historical records) name the kingdom after Tarumanagara with Sunda Kingdom, then the name of the page should be “Sunda Kingdom” not "United Kingdom of Sunda and Galuh". Let's do it together. Best regards, --Hadiyana (talk) 01:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganization of the Article[edit]

I think the article of Kingdom of Sunda is poorly organized, compared to other articles in Indonesian histories series; such as Srivijaya, Majapahit, Singhasari, and Kediri. It's hard to follow and too many titles and sub-titles within the articles. I suggest to reorganize it in chronological order. From the formation separation of Tarumanagara, growth, unification, and decline. (Gunkarta (talk) 16:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Not just that - the amount of text without adequate footnotes or linking to references needs attention Satu Suro 15:36, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copy editing[edit]

I copy edited this entry down as far as the subsection "Prabu Maharaja Lingga Buana" -- where the text became rather obscure. I hope someone can continue this project. --Remotelysensed (talk) 15:07, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
