Re the Prabowo article

I have worked ouite hard to improve the Prabowo article and get rid of the NPOV problem. I felt that I succeeded and that the tag could be removed, but did not feel I should be the judge of my own work, and I asked Merbabu, as a wikipedian involved with Indonesian subjects, to look at it. He concurred and removed the tag, but as I saw you immediately restored it - without giving any explanation. It is completely legitimate for you to think that the article still needs improvement, but it is common curtesy to somebody who worked quite hard on this article to explain yourself on the article's the discussion page.Adam keller 21:59, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi fellas. I think i can explain this. Adam Keller has done a lot of work on this article which was in a woeful state. POV tag certainly was deserved before his work. He asked me to review it and when I went to do so I noticed the vandalised template and removed the pov tag simply because of the obscene picture. I reported it and got side-tracked onto other things. In the meantime Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh went ahead and fixed the vandalism and simply reverted my edit as I labeled them "removing vandalised template" or something like that. Adam, he did the right thing and I will promise to look at Prabowo in the next few days. I had a really quick skim and it is soooooo much better. thanks. but still needs a little work. LEts have it done together in the next few days. Sorry. Merbabu 02:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I certainly don't claim that the article after I worked on it has become perfect. I confined myself to making the information available in the article itself more coherent and less manifestly biased, and did not try to hunt up additional information. The only info I added was the dates of his being the commander of Kopassus, which I got from the unit's own article. I think that there is more information needed on Prabowo's earlier life and career. There is not even given the year of his birth, and his being Suahrto's son-in-law is mentioned but not the name of his wife or any details about that; also, he stopped being commander of Kopassus in March 1998, exactly two months before this crucial May period, but it is not mentioned what was his offical position when all these terrible things happened in May; and for the sake of fairness, there should be given something of what he has to say in response to all these charges against him. Obviously, the person who wrote the original article - presumably an Indonesian with a deep grudge against him (and I can't say he did not give people some good reasons for that!) was concerned with writing an anti-Prabowo pamphlet rather than a balanced biographical account. I will be happy to help in further improving the article. By the way, I think the Kopassus article also needs to be looked at. While not quite as blatant as this one was, it displays obvious signs of a bias in the opposite direction of the Indonesian political spectrum. I have a strong feeling it was written by a past of present member of the unit itself. Certainly, some passages give the feeling the writer was sure that Kopassus is the most wondeful thing in the world. I did some work on it already, especially extending the extremely meager section about human rights violations which I found when I first looked, but I think more work is needed there.Adam keller 15:16, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in the RfA on my behalf. It is an honor to have received your expression of confidence.

Guess I wasn't clear last time.

(My Question regarding Why you deleted Nuclear Doctrine of India) I think the name was Draft Nuclear Doctrine of India (or something along those lines)

Can you please clarify the reason ?
