 * Symbol question.svg The prose states that he was born in 1959 or 1960, whilst the infobox states that he was born in 1969 or 1970. Which is correct? Otherwise fine. Eisfbnore  talk 14:51, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed. I missed fixing that after the calculation feature in the infobox told me I needed to work on my maths. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:50, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * A small close paraphrase: Article: "After returning to Indonesia, he formed the Mahaka Group together with Muhammad Lutfi, Wisnu Wardhana and R. Harry Zulnardy". Source: "In 1993, after five years in the United States where he completed his master’s degree in communications, Erick formed the Mahaka Group with partners Muhammad Lutfi, Wisnu Wardhana and R. Harry Zulnardy." Phrase ordering is the same: "Return to Indonesia" - "form Mahaka Group" - "with Muhammad Lutfi..." This one was not particularly severe, and the rest of the text was deliciously paraphrased, so I'll assume that this is only an accidental slip from the nominator.

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg I personally think the original phrasing was more logical (i.e. "After (event), (subject) (predicate) (object) with (people)" instead of "After (event), (subject), with (people), (predicate) (object)"), but it's been changed anyway.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Verified both hooks, but I strongly prefer the first as it is obviously a more unusual fact. Gatoclass (talk) 10:27, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
