US Support until 1991 or 1999?

edit

The "Belligerents" section of the header says that the US supported Indonesia until 1991, yet the section talking about the US role in supporting Indonesia straight up says that the Clinton administration provided support to Indonesia through 1995. Furthermore, it also says that we only stopped supporting them in 1999. Clarifications? Fijineet (talk) 06:33, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

"Oxford University held an academic consensus calling the occupation of East Timor a genocide "

edit

What does this mean? The Oxford bibliography notes an academic consensus around a number of events being genocides (including this one), but I'm not sure that "held an academic consensus" is the proper way to phrase this. Is there a reason the wording is currently like this? — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 00:18, 18 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Scope and Consequences

edit

Currently, the "Consequences" section has two subsections, "Number of deaths" and "Justice". Both are of course important, but they do not cover the scope of the effects the occupation had, from environmental[1] to developmental to cultural. However, I am unsure what precisely the scope is of this article, and so am unsure exactly how to fit such information in. The article is also quite long already, so I am wary of creating whole new sections, especially if they do not match the scope. Any thoughts welcome. Best, CMD (talk) 14:11, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
