Talk:Poedjangga Baroe

Copyedit and question
Alright, I've finished my copyedit of the article, I thought it was in good shape, I saw few real mistakes. I mostly tried to tighten up the prose, my apologies if I overreached at all. These are my changes, you might want to check on any wikilinks I introduced. I noticed a number of the critics listed aren't linked, I assume they are fairly minor figures without articles? One issue that I thought I'd bring up:


 * "However, the aesthetic qualities of works published in Poedjangga Baroe have received mixed reception in the years after the magazine stopped publication. Indonesian poet and literary critic Mohamad Balfas argued in 1976 that most poetry published in Poedjangga Baroe suffered from over-sentimentality and rhetoric, which he blamed on their influences." A couple questions here: who does "their" refer to? And what does it mean that the "most poetry... suffered from... rhetoric"? Other than that, I think the article is pretty understandable and well written, good job. Mark Arsten (talk) 20:53, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Indonesiaphiles are very poorly represented on the encyclopedia. Half my course material quoted Teeuw and we had to memorize Siregar's views on Indonesian literature (note that Siregar and Teeuw are both cited in the Sutherland article as well), so they could have an article at some time. I don't think you changed the meaning in your copyedit. I'll deal with that one paragraph. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:06, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Balfas probably deserves an article too (he has one on the Indonesian Wikipedia). Modified the paragraph Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
