• ALT1:... that Indonesian literary magazine Poedjangga Baroe never had more than 150 subscribers, but became the title of a literary generation?

Interesting, well written and well cited. Date, length and no close paraphrasing for what I was able to read, AGF on the rest. I placed a ref at a couple of strategic locations related to points made in the main and ALT1 hooks. ALT1 and ALT2 hooks appear in the lede, but not in the article and are not cited, so this can be either set as good to go now, using either the main or ALT3 hooks, or you can adjust the article and use any of 'em.

• Alt 1 combines two pieces of information: from "Closure", "Poedjangga Baroe's paid subscribers were always fewer than 150" and from "Reception and legacy", "The Indonesian literature published between 1933 and 1942 is sometimes described as the "Poedjangga Baroe generation", a reference to the publication's dominance".

For ALT2, it is a bit more simple. "Traditionalists also decried the introduction of loanwords to Malay from regional and foreign languages to increase the Indonesian lexicon", also from "Reception and Legacy". Admittedly the hook doesn't provide all the background information the corresponding sentence from the article does.

In short, they are cited in the article, with both parts of ALT2 cited to an English-language source for easy verifiability. Thanks for the review, and the note about the cover. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:59, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Good to go! Whoops, egg on my face – sorry for my "partial" review before. I was in a hurry and tried to do more than I really had time for. I read through the article, but then in going back to make sure the hook points were all in there, I scanned too quickly or looked in the wrong places. Anyway, interesting article.

• Thanks for the review. Yeah, there's a reason I majored in Indonesian lit. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:14, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
