Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on April 26, 2012.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Indonesian journalist Marco Kartodikromo (pictured) was arrested several times by the Dutch colonial government and ultimately died in exile?

"Racist"?

[edit]

The word 'racist' did not exist in 1911. It was invented by Magnus Hirschfeld in the 1930s.--Q-Jux Q-Jux Q-Jux (talk) 12:02, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While I am satisfied that this article meets the criteria for GA, there are few things that might benefit the article moving forward:

  • The first sentence "Further career..." section: "Kartodikromo was soon chosen by Goenawan...". The word "soon" is ambiguous, and it would be better to put a more precise date on that.
  • Sadly none of my sources have a date. They have a nearly 2-year gap in which it could have happened.
  • I feel the "Themes and styles" section could be expanded. Throughout the "Further career..." section, there is not much information given for each of the written works that Kartodikromo authored. I think it would be good to elaborate on these, especially if they were contributing factors for his imprisonment.
  • One of the categories listed is apparently non-existent (red link). While this may not be a problem if the category is to be created in the future, I just thought I'd mention it in case it was a typo (from my investigation, I couldn't find any categories that would replace it, I just thought I'd mention it).
