AGF on Indonesian-language sources. By the way, Jeromi Mikhael, should the last sentence instead read "fixing the bureaucracy and serving the people's needs."? feminist (talk) wear a mask, you stupid bastards 14:53, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this. I did some editing for English grammar and also tagged some words that didn't make sense. There's also a dead link. The hook also doesn't read well. What does nominated as the candidate mean? Did their parties nominate them, or did they file for candidacy themselves? And what happened to everyone? Why were only three candidates chosen?

  • Requesting a new review with my proposed hook and slight changes to the article, which should hopefully improve clarity. feminist (talk) | free Hong Kong 02:54, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
  • @Feminist: as I mentioned above, the article doesn't explain how 42 people could be nominated as candidates and then only 3 were nominated. Yoninah (talk) 21:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
  • You are right. Someone familiar with this topic would be able to answer this easily (just like how I would be able to rectify a similar issue if it were an article about an election in Hong Kong), but I can't think of any editor right now. This can probably be withdrawn then. feminist (talk) | free Hong Kong 05:35, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Marking for closure as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 12:31, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
