A wrong pronoun

"A Reuters reporter from its Jakarta bureau"
Isn't it awkward?--Adûnâi (talk) 00:04, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose so. I changed "its" to "the". Ypna (talk) 02:37, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can't add reference because i'm on mobile

I don't know whether i should talk about this here or somewhere else but can someone add this: https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/09/07/indonesia-investigate-deaths-papuan-protesters as a refernce that there are at least 10 deaths of protesters Mr.Unknown1 (talk) 14:50, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This figure has been superseded in more recent information. Ypna (talk) 02:36, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On Wamena riot's death toll

Tagging Juxlos as fellow contributor on the riot information: I suppose it's unwise to put civilian deaths into pro-independence casualties. Translated from Kompas, here is the list of victims:

1. Muh Subhan, from Makassar [South Sulawesi].

2. Yohanis Karangan, from Toraja [South Sulawesi].

3. Ketron Kogoya, 23, from Wamena.

4. Sofyan, 32, from Madura [East Java].

5. Elies Himan, 20, from Madura.

6. Yus Asso, 20, from Wamena.

7. Rahul, 21, from Poso, Central Sulawesi.

8. Risky, 3, from Padang, West Sumatra.

9. Mison Lokbere, 15, from Wamena.

10. Anto, 32, from Padang, West Sumatra.

11. Yapet 25, from Padang.

12. Hendra, 21, from Padang.

13. Linda, 23, from Padang.

14. Ibnu, 8, from Padang.

15. Yoga, 30, from Padang.

16. Iwan, 27, from Padang.

17. Rustam, 33, from Enrekang, South Sulawesi.

18. Irma, 25, from Enrekang.

19. Ilmi, 2, from Enrekang.

20. Erwin, 17, from Enrekang.

21. A taxibike driver, unidentified, burn injury.

22. Yunus Todingbua, 40, from Toraja.

23. Untung, 30, from Pasuruan, East Java.

24. Bambang, 35, from Lumajang [East Java].

25. dr. Soeko Marsetyo, from Yogyakarta.

26. Marius Wenda, 18, from Kimbim, Papua.

27. Ari Nurdani, 27, from Padang.

28. Manu Meage.

29. Risda, 24, from Karujaya, Makassar.

30. Elakim Wetapo, 20, Homhom.

31. Gestanus Hisage, 21, from Popukoba, Papua.

The majority of the victims are migrants/non-papuans; however, it is somehow unwise (at least, in my opinion; the opinion is open for corrections) to directly suggest that the migrant civilians are certainly pro-Indonesia (contrary to the armed forces whose party is certain). Would putting civilian deaths on the infobox, separated from any affiliation, be wise? Dhio-270599 03:46, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dhio270599: That would be a good idea, yea - but it can be a little arbitrary unless we're sure these are all civilians and none are protesters. I also can't figure out how to make the deaths area separate. Juxlos (talk) 12:36, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ongoing

Aren't the protests still ongoing? [1]--Aréat (talk) 07:49, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
