A very nice start, but not quite long enough to warrant B-class in my opinion. In point of fact, it even has a whole bunch of stub tags on it. Expansion is needed, if possible. LordAmeth 21:11, 14 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Who is Prince Magelang? Is he another name of Prince Diponegoro? I added {{contradict}} because the number of casualties in the infobox contradicts with the number in the texts. Peace. --Nielswik_(talk) 05:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

re the contradiction tags, I've now reconciled the article and the info box - the problem now being that the ranges are unreferenced and so wide as to be essentially useless - we need some reliable sources. Merbabu 13:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

The article is new enough, with a very large and well-sourced 5x expansion and no evidence of plagiarism. The hook is short enough and interesting. QPQ has been met. Alansohn (talk) 11:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi Juxlos, I am taking up this review. I will start with the image review, followed by the source review, then the prose review and finally the spot checks. Cheers Matarisvan (talk) 13:31, 21 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
