"Balinese Hinduism is deeply interwoven with art and ritual, and is less preoccupied with scripture, law, and belief than Islam in Indonesia"
This makes it seem as if the islam in the rest of indonesia (java, sumatra) is followed like it should. This is not the case, there are many occasions where the common indonesian follows ancient traditions instead of islamic law etc. 81.68.255.36 ( talk) 00:28, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
"Bali received the Best Island award from Travel and Leisure in 2010. [31] The island of Bali won because of its attractive surroundings (both mountain and coastal areas), diverse tourist attractions, excellent international and local restaurants, and the friendliness of the local people. According to BBC Travel released in 2011, Bali is one of the World's Best Islands, rank in second after Greece.[32]"
Greece is not an island. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.76.66.70 ( talk) 10:36, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page not moved. Malcolmxl5 ( talk) 01:18, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Bali → Bali Province – The name is Provinsi Bali. The article is about the province. If there is a primary topic it would maybe be Bali Island. But that is a separate debate and can be solved later. Furthermore, except for the Philippines, all other provinces in the ASEAN area use the full name, "Foo Province". A redirect can be left for now. AsianGeographer ( talk) 23:14, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

There is no information of any kind about the climate or weather, which is what I came to the page looking for. Blurryman ( talk) 22:20, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
This sounds like plagiarism, but the link is dead so I can't tell for sure:
"Tens of thousands of single women throng the beaches of Bali in Indonesia every year. For decades, young Balinese men have taken advantage of the louche and laid-back atmosphere to find love and lucre from female tourists—Japanese, European and Australian for the most part—who by all accounts seem perfectly happy with the arrangement."
Here's the (currently unreachable) reference given: http://asiasentinel.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2440&Itemid=202
The exact same text appears in Prostitution in Indonesia and Female sex tourism.

I really do not see what it added to the article, considering no other article about Indonesian provinces has a section about it. -- Toomanyaccountsargh ( talk) 11:50, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
Why is Present Perfect used there? Isn't the section talking about "pre-modern Bali"?-- Adûnâi ( talk) 10:04, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

In the Religion infobox section, the data there represents that 91.97% of Bali practices Hinduism. This is conflicting with the information in the lede, stating:
> Bali is the only Hindu-majority province in Indonesia, with 86.9% of the population adhering to Balinese Hinduism.
The claim made in the infobox cites a 2018 stats tracking website, while the claim made in the lede cites a 2010 census which is used for almost all other population statistics in the article. pauliesnug ( message / contribs) 20:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
