History of Indonesia[edit]

A brilliant articles that certainly deserves A-class. I've gone through it and all I could find was a few disambig links and a few reference tags, which I corrected. If this review passes I hope to nomintate it for featured status Phoenix-wiki (talk · contribs) 10:21, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thought a bit bias, but I surely agree to grant the article for an A-class one. — Indon (reply) — 20:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- What sort of bias? I'll fix it if you can show me. :-) thanks --Merbabu 21:42, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, I meant is the bias that I support it. Not the article. :-) — Indon (reply) — 12:25, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Object, under-referenced as of now. I fail the see the purpose of this A-class review, and it annoys me when people who don't have any particular history in editing an article show up and nominate it for such reviews. Send it to a GA review when ready, which I'm sure Merbabu will do when he thinks it is. (Caniago 23:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]

So is that an oppose or just plain objecting to the whole A-Class review because I haven't edited it much? If it's the latter then your comment will just be disregarded. I stumbled across this article and spent more than two days reading through it again and again. It's perfect apart from the low number of references, but every major point is referenced, it's just that the number of references isn't high--Phoenix-wiki (talk · contribs) 22:32, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect? No article is perfect. The article is not ready to be promoted as I clearly stated above. When it is ready, GA and FA reviews would be far more worthwhile than the pointless A-class system. Please spend your time helping to improve it, and coordinate with the major contributors instead of rushing for premature and unnecessary reviews. (Caniago 00:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Personally, I'm a bit ambivalent to A-class reviews. Rather, I've been working on this article to get it to GA class and then hopefully, FA. There's a lot more to do, but I've brought it a long way in the last few months. I agree that there needs to be more references, and I am slowly getting them in there - there's about 40 in-line cites now from memory, when earlier then were none. I agree with Caniago that it is a bit odd that the article was nominated without letting significant editors know, on the other hand, I'm more than happy that the article is getting more attention now.--Merbabu 22:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
