Happy to offer some thoughts. J Milburn (talk) 19:45, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is Jo Eng Sek worth a redlink? How about the actors? Star Films? Also, is it Star Film or Star Films?
  • Per WP:REDLINK, biographies should not be redlinked. Star Film (sorry!) is likely notable, however, and has been linked. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • What is "M. Arief"? Is that another name for the character?
  • The actor. However, since I don't have the names of all the actors and their roles, I've removed it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any indication of what's shown in the still?
  • Looks like a coronation or feast of some sort. The source doesn't say. The caption is (translated) "A scene from Tjioeng Wanara with dancing. From this scene we can see how many actors are in the film." — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can we have some kind of link for the Serimpi dance?
  • I think I'll create "Films based upon Indonesian myths and legends", actually, as there are several which already have articles. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I struggle to follow your referencing style, but I'm happy to take your word that these are appropriate sources. Images seem appropriate- generally very strong. J Milburn (talk) 20:42, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Re: Referencing: Everything from pre-2000s is either a newspaper (most of these in online archives), magazine (digitized by me at Sinematek Indonesia), or book (basically like a Dictionary of National Biography, but limited to film figures and in one volume). Filmindonesia.or.id is a film database managed by the Konfiden Foundation, with J B Kristanto as editor-in-chief. They base much of their information on the first edition of Apa Siapa (for biographies) and Kristanto's National Film Catalogue; far as I can tell, its meant to replace that catalogue, as it is no longer in print.
  • Thanks for reviewing! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Great stuff- this is a well-polished article, and I'm happy to promote to GA status. J Milburn (talk) 20:43, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
