Death

Death recently reported by AP: [1] —Kurykh 07:07, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I thought I saw the Death section on the bottom of the article page... Can anybody explain why it was deleted and why it should be deleted in the 1st place??? 48th ronin (talk) 09:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

It was deleted by User:60.53.92.150, who kept claiming Suharto was not really dead. That user has now been blocked from editing for a day. In future, if you come across such edits, it's fairly safe to assume it's vandalism: feel free to re-add sections which have been erroneously or maliciously deleted.

OK, will do :) Don't be too harsh to that anonymous guy though, it must've been quite tough for him to accept all this reality, eh... 48th ronin (talk) 13:23, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Japanese => Javanese

ON the article, the speech by Suharto's eldest daughter (Mbak Tutut) stated as "Javanese custom" but links to "Japanese culture" instead. Need to be fixed. Ariefwn (talk) 03:18, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

fixed - next time be bold! --Merbabu (talk) 08:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

How do you outlaw Chinese?

The introduction of the article contains the following phrase:

enaction of legislation outlawing communist parties and ethnic Chinese

This is obviously nonsense (even Suharto can't outlaw people) and probably the result of careless editing. Unfortunately, since the quoted reference is subscribers only, I can't find out what it should read and corrrect it. Maybe someone more familiar with the subject matter can take care of this.—Graf Bobby (talk) 07:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I changed it to and enaction of legislation outlawing communist parties and placing restrictions on the country's ethnic Chinese population. It's factually OK (although vague) so anyone please refine, but remember it is the lead and doesn't need to be detailed. --Merbabu (talk) 07:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Very easily - see Anti-Chinese legislation in Indonesia SatuSuro 08:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that is helpful. There was a wikilink to this page from "legislation", I've moved it to "placing restrictions on the country's ethnic Chinese population" so that it's clearer where it redirects to.—Graf Bobby (talk) 15:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Is it a professional way to start the article like this?

"Suharto (June 8, 1921–January 27, 2008) was an homosexual. He loved to suck the dicks of every guy he met." Or, is it a sabotage?--Natasha2006 (talk) 19:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

No. You can just revert such silly edits to the last serious version. Pinkville (talk) 21:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
