The article needed a fair amount of work on grammar, spelling etc., which I've done, and I've also expanded it significantly. I think the hook you suggested above is a bit boring though, perhaps we could use something like the following? Prioryman (talk) 21:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that the last Batak priest-king Sisingamangaraja XII was shot and killed by Dutch troops in 1907, ending his thirty-year war against the colonisation of Sumatra?

OK, ALT1 seems better. αδζ ψακ φρψερ 00:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Big enough 1644 characters, enough expansion from 325 characters, no sign of copyright infringement or POV pushing. Hook is present and cited, and interesting. Good to Go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:13, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
