[edit]@36.69.139.98: can you explain the addition of the Indonesian flag and the {{Fix}} template in your edit? I have reverted it for now but would like to know the reasoning behind this. Thanks! TGHL ↗ 21:13, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

[edit]Hello @DaRmaKinamon93: you appear to be making similar edits to the IP editor shown above. If this is you, I hope we can engage in a discussion about these edits and work together in finding an appropriate solution on the disambiguation page. If this is not your IP address, I would like to initiate discussion anyways.
You appear to be removing the listing on this page for the Republic of West Papua. Disambiguation pages, by their very nature, are designed to ease searching for and finding articles by grouping similarly-named articles together – West Papua can be known as a proposed state of Western New Guinea (which is also known as West Papua) and as an Indonesian province. This page contains all three of these items to better facilitate navigation. The state is known as West Papua, and will be known as such even if you may not personally know it as such.
I would like to hear from you, now! Please also be aware of MOS:DABINTRO – why are you adding the word "indonesia" at the start of the page? Thanks, TGHL ↗ 🍁 14:30, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
