  • BlueMoonset, I've had a look at the source but page 156 doesn't show as a full page; I only get it in snippet view when I search for "thug". And that snippet doesn't offer me enough context to sign off on this. Google Books is often more restricted in NZ than what users get to see in North America or Europe. Does the full page show for others? Schwede66 22:20, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Schwede66, interesting. I had looked at page 156 in the book when I updated the reference in the article on March 11 to give the page number, and was able to view the page through Google books (but only via the old version), confirming that it supported the whole sentence being cited, and also that "thugs" was the word used in the book. If you search for "Memet", the previous page also alludes to the events. Unfortunately, I cannot view that section of the book now, and don't know why, but I suspect it's because I didn't switch immediately to the old version of Google books but instead tried to scroll to page 156, though it may simply be that they've cracked down further on how much of the book is visible, stopping in the 70s.

The source is available at Open Library; it does use "thugs" but also "dissidents" if we want a more neutral term. (It also provides the detail that the disruption involved crashing a jeep into the conference building, which could be an interesting hook if it were worked into the article.)

Thanks for that, Sojourner in the earth. ALT2 checks out. "Thugs" should be ok as the book says "the minister called in the thugs of the previous day" and it was the second day when they caused some real issues. I do agree, however, that crashing a jeep into the building would make an even better hook. Juxlos, are you sure that the person's common name is "Yogie Suardi Memet"? He is referred to as "Yogie Memet" in the book. Schwede66 09:11, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Confident, as most Indonesian sources use the middle name. Juxlos (talk) 10:16, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
