[edit] Notability tag

Is patently ridiculous - it needs to be removed. There are streets named after him all over Indonesia, and if he is Pahlawan Nasional - that is sufficient apart from his poisition in Indonesian public life. SatuSuro 04:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup tag

Equally so - a few repetitions and redundancies do not deserve such a tag. SatuSuro 09:00, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. The article has extremely long sections, making it very difficult to read through (see how other articles will incorporate images, or, lacking that, breaking up sections into text: George W. Bush). Should we put the {{sections}} template on it? Patstuarttalk|edits 09:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Good - at least we know our differences on this one. I agree but I dont - In each paragraph there are references to Indonesian history and context the writer has included that are covered in other articles - I suspect the writer is unaware of the other articles. It is a matter of leading the writer to the issue of repeating information that is covered elsewhere. I have asked for the writer to communicate - and I would like to give him/her the opportunity to engage about it before actually doing any serious editing. If there is no response in the medium term - then I think someone with a good knowledge of the range of articles available in the domain of Indonesian history should slowly but surely do some edits. Your example leaves me shudderring ! SatuSuro 09:25, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
