I asked Biyanto Rebin from Wikimedia Indonesia, and he writes:

Dear Jon,

Yes. It is definitely Balinese language. I know the community very well and since last year, they have held a lot of meetups and editathon events, that is why they are very active.

Best wishes,

I also asked Revi Soekatno (User:Meursault2004) on Facebook, and he writes:

Yes it unmistakenly Balinese and some articles are very nice

That should be enough confirmation, no? If not we could reach out to BASABali like Eddie suggested.

Maybe Wikimedia Indonesia is already in touch with the BASABali organization, but if not, I can put them in touch with their staff.

I support this, and I was just about to propose this myself.

I already spoke about this to Tjahja Wirjadisastra from Wikimedia Indonesia, and he approves it, so I would say it's good to go.

Hi all!

I would like to suggest approving Wikipedia in Balinese at ban.wikipedia.org. The Incubator wiki has had a lot of activity, with more than 1,300 articles – of which a random sample looks very promising. The most used messages and more have been translated, and there is steady activity in Incubator.

As for experts, I think it would suffice to contact someone in Wikimedia Indonesia to confirm this language – it is, after all, a relatively well-known language, at least in the region, so it should be an easy task for them to confirm its validity.
