Japanese government-issued gulden and roepiah in the Netherlands Indies edit
.jpg)
- ... that, during its occupation of the Dutch East Indies, the Empire of Japan issued both gulden and roepiah (example pictured)?
ALT1:... that more Japanese gulden and roepiah (example pictured) may have been issued after the occupation of the Dutch East Indies than during it?- Reviewed: Tantai Mieming

- Please revert the title of the article. I don't see why it has to be disambiguated (let alone in such a convoluted manner) in the first place. Fuebaey (talk) 14:40, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
- Except, you know, the former title of Netherlands Indian roepiah was inaccurate, as the Japanese money included gulden as well as rupiah (and the Indonesian rupiah was, from a Dutch POV, issued in the Dutch East Indies [until 1949]). There's an argument for a shorter title such as "Japanese-issued gulden and roepiah", but since Godot13 mentioned standardization, I was wondering if he had other articles in mind. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:25, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
- If that is the case why not pick a more general title, like Japanese government-issued currency in the Netherlands Indies? Fuebaey (talk) 15:50, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
- That works as well. I'm waiting for a reply from Godot13 first, though. There may be considerations we haven't thought of. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 21:18, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
- I guess that works for me. I was just going for consistency (but may have sacrificed practicality in the process)...--Godot13 (talk) 02:10, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry for not addressing the question above - standardization was with the other article titles in Japanese invasion money in the event they are all made into a GT/FT down the road...--Godot13 (talk) 06:10, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

This is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The image is a featured picture and is appropriately licensed. Going for the original hook, which has an inline citation, because I am not sure that ALT1 has this advantage! The article is neutral but I could not assess whether there were any close paraphrasing/copyright issues because the sources are mostly offline. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:10, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
