Talk:Sumitro Djojohadikusumo

Spelling

 * I am puzzled at the various attempts to change the spelling of Sumitro's name on this page to "Soemitro." It is quite clear that "Sumitro Djojohadikusumo" was his own preferred spelling.  Just as Soeharto happened to prefer the spelling "Soeharto" to "Suharto", it so happened that Sumitro preferred "Sumitro" to "Soemitro."  I'd argue that the best approach is to use the spelling of names preferred by the person themselves.  It doesn't seem appropriate for Wikipedia contributors to arbitrarily change the way that people spell their names. Pmccawley (talk) 23:31, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

"Statesman"
As a preemptive explanation, I decided to change "politician" in the first sentence to "statesman" after checking out several sources that refer to Sumitro as such: Juxlos (talk) 13:54, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
