Talk:Batik

Malaysia wrangling

The Malaysia section is becoming WP:UNDUE, apparently because there is some nationalistic wrangling about precedence, basically off-topic for this article.

The section should not be any longer than the coverage for other nations. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:51, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

You won't find batik in Egypt or Latin America!

what the heck is this?! why did everything change????? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sayurasem (talk • contribs) 20:53, 18 December 2024 (UTC)

• Read the article carefully. If by definition 'batik' means technique where resist wax are concerned, then there are plenty of analogous technique outside of Indonesian batik (including egypt) which are called "batik" by English sources and are relevant to be discussed. In any case, Indonesian batik still features prominently in this page. Changes occur because previously too many addition that solely focus on Indonesian batik has accumulated and the article's good article status was threatened. A dedicated Indonesian batik page seems appropriate while this page talks more generally. Alteaven (talk) 03:30, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Modern Updates

Anyone want to take a look at this & see if anything is worth updating on the Batik page? :)

Proposed merge of Madurese batik into Batik

Sources do not indicate that Madura batik is sufficiently notable for its own article. However detail on the Madura theme could be expanded in the batik article Czarking0 (talk) 15:41, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

@Czarking0: Since there is a specific article about Batik in Indonesia, I suggest this might be a better merge target.WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:37, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough I have no issue with that Czarking0 (talk) 23:12, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

@Czarking0: I see no opposition to this proposal, so I'll address the issue the next time I have a half hour or so of dedicated editing time, if you or someone else hasn't addressed it before that. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:54, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Cirebon Javanese batik into Batik

Sources do not indicate the Cirebon Javanese Batik is sufficiently notable for its own article. However detail on the Batik page could be expanded Czarking0 (talk) 15:42, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

@Phuong Ze: You have been actively removing the merge template from Cirebon-Indramayu Javanese batik, so I'm going to presume you oppose this merge. Can you join this discussion to explain why? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:33, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

@Czarking0: I see no opposition to this proposal (seeing that Phuong Ze has not replied), so I'll address the issue the next time I have a half hour or so of dedicated editing time, if you or someone else hasn't addressed it before that. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:55, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

WikiDan61, are you still interested in these merges? I'm checking in on some of the merge backlog to see which ones are in progress. Also note that Phuong Ze has continued to remove the templates while using misleading edit summaries. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 20:54, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

@Thebiguglyalien: Yes, I am still interested. I need to make the time to do it. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:26, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Since they remain unmerged but there's no objection, I've swapped out the proposal tags to indicate that they're ready for merger. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 21:25, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Also pinging Czarking0 since it's unclear whether there's still any interest in this merger after several months. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 20:25, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Sorry I still support this merge but I have been doing other stuff Czarking0 (talk) 21:03, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of merging the two articles into Batik in Indonesia, per consensus. This is my first merger, so please let me know if any mistakes were made. Royz-vi Tsibele (talk) 15:37, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
