[edit] Birth

Can't yet establish what year he was born, but two of the linked articles say he is 39, so either 1966 or 1967. Tale 12:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to User:Thebainer for adding it (1967) in his revision - Tale 11:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

His name is "Alfredo Reinaldo", not "Reinhado"--81.84.198.217 23:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

The spellings Reinado and Reinhado have been consistently used in media reports I've seen, therefore I picked the most commonly used spelling and gave Reinado as an alternative. I have only seen Reinaldo used once, in a single media report, and even in today's media reports [1] they are using Reinado, with no L in it. If you can provide some proof that the media has his name wrong, please do. I'm sure it's possible but you need to do more than just make an unsupported claim. Tale 09:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

"Reinhado" is the original Portuguese spelling, but in Timor-Leste are a lot of "wrong" spellings in common use. Another example is Ramos-Hortas ex-wife An(n)a Pessoa Pinto. Most newspapers (German today) are using the spelling Reinado. --J. Patrick Fischer 12:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rank

Major or Lieutenant Commander? In his post as CO of the Timorese Navy he would have been a Lieutenant Commander, but it seems that he was transferred to the Military Police afterwards. Anyone know if the MP's are part of the Timorese Army or just part of the Defence Force? --RaiderAspect 07:13, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Isn't the Defense Force and the Timorese Army the same? --J. Patrick Fischer 12:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

No, there's a (very) small navy in addition to the army. --bainer (talk) 15:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Oops! I misunderstood. German word "Armee" means all forces together. ;-) --J. Patrick Fischer 12:07, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another push by little bush.

Johnny Howard is sending Australian soldiers after him left right and center the last few days,[2] although it appears the Australian media aren't sure whether he's got what it takes to be a folk hero and are backing up the Australian / East Timor government on the stance that he's a fugative, and not a freedom fighter who's rebelling against a corrupt military who killed unemployed youths for demonstrating publically. 211.30.71.59 09:47, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
