Map

The satellite image of all Borneo is not the right one to use, since it shows all of the island and does nothing to show North Borneo, the location of its capital. Better to use a clipping from an old map. Stan 13:09, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)

British North Borneo or North Borneo?

I was surprised to find this article as "North Borneo", I thought that "British North Borneo" was the more usual name. DuncanHill (talk) 00:26, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How is this a former "Austrian colony"?

Why the category? The article clearly explains that Austria (or Austria-Hungary) never showed interest in acquiring North Borneo and therefore never colonized or controlled North Borneo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.107.117.42 (talk) 10:50, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
