"Racist"?
editThe 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)
- The article was not written in 1911. The source says "discrimination based on race" (in Indonesian, naturally), which in modern terms is known as racism. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:02, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

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.
- Agree. I'll try and do that when my current project is finished. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:27, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
- 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).
- Removed. I seem to remember something about not having redlink categories in the MOS. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:27, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
