Images licensing, dead refs and disambiguations
[edit]- Everything good except fix this
- Done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:12, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]- Good, contains everything in article
Early life
[edit]- "born to Harjono Sigit and his wife Kusthini" --> write to father and mother
- Not done. Clear from the sentence which is male and which is female (i.e. which is the father and which is the mother)
- "while at Yohanes Gabriel Catholic Elementary School in Surabaya, she once hit a classmate with a thrown object so hard that the classmate began to bleed profusely" ---> remove thrown
- Done.
- "and the two began to work on tunes for the piano together" ---> could you re-write/ re-sentence this
- How's this?
- "A bright student in elementary school and junior high school, while in senior high school she began dating, first with a classmate then with Dhani, and her marks dropped drastically." ---> bright? who says so drastically what is considered drastic? neutral point of view rewrite
- Changed the first bit. The title of the article, "Prestasi Merosot Tajam", literally means "scores dropped drastically", so it's in the source. Do you think it needs quotes?
- "Towards the end of senior high school, Estianty and her father began arguing about her work and poor performance at school. Estianty threatened to move out; Sigit said he would support her, on the condition she continue her studies at a state university" --> who is Sigit?? I haven't been introduced to his full name in the article prior.
- First sentence: "Harjono Sigit", her father. Gave a bit to connect the two sentences.
Ratu
[edit]- "It has an R&B flavour --> is it a pie no please change to "it has R&B influences", an album's music is timeless so never use past tense
- Rephrased. The writing itself is not timeless, so "influenced" is okay here.
- "Ratu released Ratu and Friends in collaboration with numerous other artists" ---> what are Ratu and Friends albums/eps/singles?
- Album, done.
- The album, which only featured two songs by Ratu,[11] sold more than 400,000 copies and was certified double platinum.[12] The title of the song "Teman Tapi Mesra", often abbreviated TTM, became widely used to describe those in a physical relationship without an emotional one.[13] ----> which album are you referring to, "only featured" remove only, cite other writing credits if you are cite Dhani's, where did the album go double platinum?, what song is it a single of which album??
- In Indonesia. Indonesian music rarely, if ever, goes further than Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Nixed "only". Don't see Dhani's name in relation to the album (don't have a copy, so I wouldn't be able to verify the full writing credits). Thought it was implied from collocation, but added Ratu and Friends anyways.
- Also in 2006, Ratu released Nomor Satu (Number One), which had pop-rock influences;[1] Maia wrote most of the songs.[15] The album was a commercial success; it sold 200,000 copies on the day of its release, a record for a work by a female Indonesian group. ---> is it album/ep/single??, "which had pop-rock influences" change had to has music sound is timeless, where did it sell 200,000 copies in its first week.
- Clearly not a single if it's in italics; says it's an album in the following sentence. Changed to with, added "nationally".
Duo Maia and acting
[edit]- Remove the entire bit about their divorce to a new section titled personal life or divorce from ...
- I disagree here, as the divorce is one of the reasons Ratu disbanded. Moving it would remove context as to why she formed Duo Maia. Regarding a separate section, that would give a section with only one paragraph, which looks unprofessional.
- Remove in the entire article that they went to trough a 'bitter' divorce who says it was bitter, what is considerd bitter, maintain neutral point of view.
- Nuked "bitter" in the caption. The paragraph states clearly why it was bitter, and is completely referenced.
