Concern

A lot of the articles you are getting your whopping DYK score for in the Indonesian sense are unfortunately too open ended for my liking - they are all clearly left wing and they all without any exceptions got decimated in 65/66 and there is nothing in the articles to date to identify that - it is as though they might still exist - I had considered creating a category victims of the transition to the new order or something more wikipedia-like in meaning - anyone reading your set of union articles is not given the clear idenditification that most of all of them ended up dissolved (organisations), dead or disappeared (people) - I hope you can take that in stride - and like the article title issue - not stand firm - but understand what wikipedia is about - and try finding some room to move rather than than insisting on one way of looking at it - cheers Satu Suro 03:49, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

an exception to my complaint - the final paragraph in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarbuksi - is excellent and clear and shows what happened to them all anyways Satu Suro 03:52, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

and for whatever reason - the SOBSI article is a WP:ONESOURCE issue - it needs other WP:RS for heavens sake! Satu Suro 03:55, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

admittedly there are not that many around http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/20897364 - cheers, over and out Satu Suro 03:59, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the link, I will check it. the SOBSI article was started 3 hours ago, and the structure of the article is not complete yet. Of course, my intention is to deal with 65/66 in detail in the article (the source I've gone through so far is published in 1964, and obviously lacks this information) and utilize various other sources. As per other articles, Sarbupri has a quite extensive passage on 65/66, Sarbufis mentions its banning but I couldn't find a WP:RS with more detailed info. SOBRI mentions the merger into FSBI, but not much detail on how 65/66 affected the organization. Serbaud, Gerakan Nelajan Marhaenis and Sarekat Buruh Kehutanan Islam lacks this kind of information, for a simple reason: I couldn't find anything on it. I notice that it is much easier to find English-language info on PKI-linked organizations, since many Western scholars are intrested about the growth of the party and 65/66. For an organization like Gerakan Nelajan Marhaenis, which definately appears to have been notable, it is very difficult to find English-language material. --Soman (talk) 04:13, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the thorough response - my bad - I do remember the endless issues of only finding indonesian sources when in canberra many years ago at ANU/NLA - there are indeed areas of Indonesian history that are never dealt with in english - all the more ironic since I have had the priviledge of accessing the NLA collections some years back but my focus was on something totally different Satu Suro 11:48, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
