In the chapter 'Legacy', {{cref|A}} appears and I don't know what that is, but it's broken. That's one of the two refs that presumably confirms the hook fact (so I'd like to have a look at it); the other ref is in Indonesian, which I can't read. The article is new and long enough. I've looked through the English refs and there's no concern about copyvios. Schwede 66 06:18, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

cref makes footnotes (like at 1740 Batavia massacre); I was going to add that there were people who drew parallels between him accepting their work and baptism, but changed my mind. You can check the nickname and the main points here if you want. Most of the same information is there. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:53, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

What's currently footnote 8 (HB Jassin dies of stroke; Jakarta Post) confirms the hook facts. Foreigh language ref after the hook fact AGF. Schwede 66 09:51, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
