Tutuala[edit]

Tutuala village

  • ... that forested uplands in the Tutuala (pictured) in East Timor inhabited by the ratu clan groups included walled and open settlements of Lata and also caves (veraka) which housed ancestral figures?

  • This is a bit confused: "Fataluku people believe that Jaco Island is the 'head' of the crocodile and that the mainland is its body." "Mainland" presumably means island of Timor. I see no reference to a mythological crocodile in any of the sources. de:Tutuala, which seems thorough and well-sourced, also makes no mention of this crocodile. I have not checked for other issues.

  • You are right. I don't know at what stage the word crocodile got introduced. I have now quoted from the book and also fixed a reference at the end of the sentence.--Nvvchar. 14:17, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Full review needed, now that the single issue mentioned has been addressed. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:13, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Dates and lengths both good. Was unable to access and/or translate all the sources (Google Books varies availability based upon location of the requester), so AGF of sections of the article supported by those sources. No copyright or plagiarism issues spotted in portions of article with accessible online references. --Allen3 talk 13:20, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
