Interesting article, clearly lived a pretty exciting life. Article is new enough (created on June 27), long enough (6930 characters), NPOV, no evidence of close paraphrasing, copyvio or plagiarism. Hook is short enough, formatted correctly, cited in line, I assume good faith as the source is in Indonesian and offline. Adequate QPQ is provided. In terms of issues, in this section there seems to missing words to connect the sentences together. "However, Tobing grew disappointed with the city, and in 1959 he and Theresia left Medan to return to Jakarta.[9] in 1959 to join a group of non-government Indonesian artists and performers during a tour of Eastern Europe. Over subsequent years he took part in several further cultural envoy programs,[1] including the to the 1964 New York World's Fair.[10]". Also the image can't be used as it's not used in the article, the larger uncropped version is. Cowlibob (talk) 17:50, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Grammar fixed.

Crops of images have historically been allowed for use, so long as the original image is in the article. See, for example, Ganjuran Church, which uses File:2DSC06389A Christ as a Javanese Prince, Ganjuran, Bantul, Java, Indonesia.jpg, whereas the DYK used File:Christ as a Javanese Prince, Ganjuran, Bantul, Java, Indonesia.jpg. The DYK for Gagak Item used File:Roekiah in Gagak Item.JPG while the article uses the source image. I don't think that's ever been written down formally, however. I'll raise it on the talk page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:49, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Cowlibob and Chris Woodrich It's the same image, just more of a close-up. The rules don't specifically mention this one way or the other. And if the rules don't specify it, then it isn't an issue. This is not the first time a DYK nom adjusted an image from an article so it would be clearer on the main page without replacing the article image with the improved one - anything from a crop to adjusting for sharpness or any other aspect. Right off hand, I can't cite specific nominations, because there was no reason to keep a list. — Maile (talk) 16:12, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

I've cited two above. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:40, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

As per above clarification. No image issue. Good to go with AGF on source.Cowlibob (talk) 21:42, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
