Good article, but do we really need this last paragraph: "You have to remember that 60% of the population only graduated from elementary school, so they don't investigate candidates too closely," commentator Denny Ja said during the campaign. "When we ask people who is most competent to run the economy and security, people put SBY first. Whatever the truth, that's the perception and perception matters." It seems to me just a condescending assertion that poor people can't handle democracy. Certainly there are also plenty of elections in Western countries where real policy differences are small and things like charisma and funding are what win the day. Everyking 09:22, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
It is the opinion of an Indonesian political commentator. I neither endorse nor reject it. It can be accepted or rejected by readers. Other opinions can be added if editors wish to do so. Adam 10:07, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Of course it is just an opinion, but it colors the article. Oh well, I suppose you think we need it after all. Everyking 14:40, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

We have to make correction on this part: "In 1975 Yudhoyono took part in the Indonesian annexation of East Timor." I have his biography in my lap now, and it shows that Yudhoyono started to be assigned to East Timor on 1976-77, which is after the annexation process. Any comment or objection?

You can revert if you want, but I redirected the nonexistent link "United Nations Peacekeeping Force" to the article on UN peacekeeping NorseOdin 06:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Omissions
I find Cay's correction interesting, multiple journalist have stated SBY was a officer members of the 1975 invasion, yet no Indonesian official has objected. Anyway, why is there no mention of SBY being the Chief of Territorial Affairs during the revenge destruction of East Timor and the years of intimidation of those chased across into West Timor? Why is there no mention of SBY being Megawati's security minister who organized and conducted the three year military operation burning hospitals and schools etc. against Aceh for asking for independence?211.30.84.166 15:19, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Language
Although there is good content in the article, the language used seems somewhat laborious. Some forms of expression follow what would be a more Indonesian style of structure.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Yourfather (talk • contribs)
Possibly a redraft using the original content - it just seems to labour sometimes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yourfather (talk • contribs)
[edit] disasters
This section is horribly written, badly sourced, and unclear in meaning.
"Recent research and studies relate the disasters which happened in his presidential era with the political stability of Indonesia. Nonetheless, the president is also involved. One study shows that the possibility of Yudhoyono being re-elected in 2009 is narrow if the pattern of the disasters continues."
WTF? Presidents don't cause natural disasters. What is this gibberish doing in an encyclopedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.76.38.165 (talk) 00:18, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] POV?
I question the POV of the following passage...
"(and, it was said, mental) incapacity"
nowhere in the citation provided was this fact ever mentioned. I am deleting this passage as it does not have correct citation. If someone could correcly citate the fact above, please revert my edit. Thanks

[edit] What is the purpose of this revert
What is the purpose of this wholesale revert? It cancelled a lot of improvements. however, because other editors worked based on that version since then, reverting it will cause many improvements lost. Peace. --Nielswik(talk) 07:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Road to presidency section
I think that section is written in unencyclopedic manner, and violates wikipedia policy such as WP:NOR, WP:NPOV. Peace. --Nielswik(talk) 07:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC) examples:
- Unlike most other presidential candidates, Yudhoyono put forward broad policies for the future of Indonesia. ...
- Yudhoyono's reputation for integrity, strong personality appeal, and excellent communication skills made him the front-runner throughout the election campaign, ...
- The turning point came on 1st March 2004,
That section also lacks of references. Peace. --Nielswik(talk) 08:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree with you. Many parts of this article is written in a biased manner --Vircabutar 09:51, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Question about Bambang
Bambang was one of the middle names given to me by my paternal grandfather (who died when I was five). I'm told that the name either means "hero" or refers in some way to the quality of heroism, in keeping with many Javanese names having to do with character traits. I was looking for confirmation about the meaning of the name...? RahadyanS 17:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion from article page
Where in the world parent named their child 'Someone with bad character'? I'm Indonesian, but I'm not SBY supporter. But this srticle tickle my logic and sense. Obviously his name mean 'well behaved'. Well i dont know with you westerner, but we easterner always names our child with good names. And also can you differentiate 's' in Susilo with 'sh' in Sushil. That 2 different letter you know? >:)

[edit] Proposal: move history of SBY's presidency to its own page
Perhaps SBY's presidency should have its own page. "Presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono", or something. Seems awkward to pack it into a biography, since a presidentical era is really much more than a story about one person's life. Smilo Don (talk) 08:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- This is in theory quite sensible. There may be other ways of approaching it too though. It's quite coincidental as in the last week or so, I've been quite involved in the split from John Howard into the Howard Government, which appears to be exactly the same idea as here. Just stick to the notable facts (and all the notable facts, rather than a favourite selection), keep it verified (no more extras), and show extreme caution with the opinion (even if it is someone as esteemed as Vickers).
- This should go to the project page too. Ie, direct people to the discussion here. --Merbabu (talk) 08:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- My thought was too basically cut/paste the Presidency from the SBY page and make a new page with it. I wasn't planning on adds or edits at this point. So the question on the table is more about the appropriateness of the move. But I gotta run. Maybe others can chime in.Smilo Don (talk) 08:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
