I personally adopted this page as a pet project back in May 2005, because at the time Suharto was taken to a hospital seemingly on the verge of dying. Since leaving the hospital, his profile has lowered considerably. I believe the time is good for a thorough and more deliberate series of edits, as it's advisible to have it polished up before he gets ill or dies and interest and traffic spikes up again. --Daniel 04:43, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Great job on this article! It looks well-referenced, and it seems admirably NPOV. It needs a lead image though. If you wanted to make it featured, I'd put in in-line references, but if that's not your goal, I wouldn't worry about it. Quadell 17:39, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The lead image has been a problem, since the old image was ruled not fair use and deleted. I can't seem to find any portrait of him from the Library of Congress. Definite help needed on finding a decent fair use or public domain image. --Daniel 03:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm a now-and-then editor of this article, so I can't provide a fresh perspective, but... in reverse order (ha!):
  1. Seems there should be more aside from prosecution efforts and health problems to say about his post-presidency years.. I haven't followed his activities closely, though - has he spoken much about Indonesian politics or anything since he stepped down? Does he endorse presidential candidates?
  2. Last para of the "politics and dissent" section: Explaining increased scrutiny of his human rights record as a result of lessening Cold War tension reads like original research to me. It's a reasonable link, and one I find persuasive. but might benefit from a citation if possible.
  3. The comment about Hamenkubuwono's role, perhaps instead of Suharto, in the 1949 seizure of Yogya needs a cite, since it says "many sources believe". I think this was added recently - how legit is it?
Daniel: your work on this article has made it a lot better lately... thanks! CDC (talk) 00:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, Now?

edit

So like, what else is needed to make Suharto a featured article? If there's nothing else I would like to nominate it. --Lemi4 05:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
