Cleanup and tone issues
Please note that Living Persons issues and the WP:BLP policy for Wikipedia are such NB Wikipedia biographies are not meant to be hagiographies! if you dont have a ref- it shouldnt be there - also as an online encylopedia the style and manner of info - the article needs editing and not adding to - please read WP:MOS carefully SatuSuro 08:32, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I second the concern about the tone issues. Is there an editor currently working on the article who is willing to source some of the more, um, expansive claims and bring the language in tone with WP:NPOV? The article should be editing before more is added to it. Further expansion can take place after there is a good encyclopedic base to build upon. Movingboxes (talk) 05:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I've copyedited the article and tried to clean out as much NPOV as I could. There were whole paragraphs that were copy-pasted from his church profiles! Those are now either gone or heavily edited with sources. AngusWOOF (talk) 23:35, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

STTRII confusion
I took out this section as it is confusing. Is STTRII a high school, a seminary, or both? Which was the one that moved into RMCI? Are there TWO STTRII institutions now?

In 1991, with them, he also founded the Indonesia Evangelical Reformed Theological High School or well-known by name Sekolah Tinggi Teologia Reformed Injili Indonesia [STTRII] in South Jakarta. The goal is to promote full-time servant of God with spirit and knowledge of Reformed theology and can be sent to other churchs and hopefully influence them with right doctrine. He had become rector for 11 years (1991-2002)">.

Please provide clearer sources for this. Also the mission statement needs to be sourced. It is not mentioned in GRII.org. AngusWOOF (talk) 15:51, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

largest Christian facilities
Can someone provide a media source that states that RMCI is one of the largest Christian facilities in the world? The article posted says it is one of the largest Chinese Christian/Evangelical churches (outside China), and that it is a mega-church, but does not generalize to the general Christian community.

English cleanup
In the list of publications, the last entry under the section on courses has the English title "Faith, Ratio, and Knowledge." "Ratio" translates "Rasio." "Rasio" frequently means "ratio," but that meaning does not fit the context of the title. The English word should be "Reason," I think. But someone with good knowledge of Indonesian needs to check it.Vpoythress (talk) 12:56, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Bad ISBN
Because it is causing a Checkwiki error #72: "ISBN-10 with wrong checksum", I removed the ISBN from the entry:

Keluarga Bahagia (Happy Family)	1991	ISBN 979-8307-22-9

I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the correct ISBN on the Internet. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 16:18, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
