Comments
[edit]- Ambiguity - Phrase " Sunday and Online edition ..." is that one edition, or two? --Noleander (talk) 11:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- Wording - Phrase "After founding PT Bina Media Tenggara to back the paper ..." is confusing. "founding" -> "persuading" or "finding BMT, a source of capital, to back the paper" etc --Noleander (talk) 11:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- Found, as in to make something real (the root of "foundation")
- Too long - Sentence "After further details, including the matter of Sinar Harapan's share of stock and the publisher, were decided at a meeting at Wanandi's office in March 1983,[7] the first edition — totaling eight pages — was published on 25 April 1983" has too many commas and hyphens. break into two sentences? --Noleander (talk) 11:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- Done - Split Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:07, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- Confusing - Phrase " ...is targeted at well-educated Indonesians, businessmen, and foreigners...": Implies Indonesians are not businessmen. Also may want to go with more gender neutral "Businesspeople" --Noleander (talk) 11:52, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- Done Tried to do something with it. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:07, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- Pictures - Are any pictures available? Of the founders? Owner? Editor? Building? At a minimum, a picture of the newspaper's front page. If you do a front page, make sure the picture is reduced resolution!! See WP:NFCC and WP:NFCI for requirements about duplicating copyrighted material. --Noleander (talk) 11:57, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- I'll get a picture of the front page. I've tried getting OTRS permission for historical images, but no luck. As Indonesia does not have freedom of panorama, the building is a no go. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:07, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- I've added the front page. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:52, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

- Out of date - Some facts are dated 2009. They should be brought up to date, if possible. Such as: (1) " As of 2009, the chief editor is Endy Bayundi"; (2) "As of 2009, approximately half of its 40,000 readers are middle class Indonesians" --Noleander (talk) 12:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- I'll try and see what I can do. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:07, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
- Chief editor added. Several sources indicate 50,000, but they aren't exactly stellar (German site, book on soybeans, etc...). I don't think any more up to date statistics are available. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:52, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

- Wow, only 4 wording problems. That's a first. Thanks for the review. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:07, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
