Always use reliable sources to write an article. This is important to support the three pillars of Wikipedia: verifiable, neutral point of view and no elements of original research.

Here are lists of reliable Indonesia-related sources and public-domain images/maps, compiled by the project members. Please read WP:CITE for guidelines of citing and inline citing the sources.
