Drawing of the Battle of Gawok

... that Javanese rebel leader Diponegoro partly blamed his sexual infidelity for his defeat at the Battle of Gawok (drawing pictured)? Source: Carey 2015, p619. Passage from the book: "In his babad, he relates that he himself had succumbed to the charms of a captured Chinese girl [...] just before the disastrous battle of Gawok in mid-October 1826. The following is the brief and rather coy passage in which he makes his admission of sexual infidelity: [...autobiographic poetry...] Dipanagara implicitly suggests that his subsequent defeat in this key battle was in part due to this moment of weakness.

This article, created on 12 March, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. QPQ done. No copyvio issues. Hook interesting, cited, in article, and citation checks out. Image isn't very legible at 100px. GTG. Tenpop421 (talk) 19:21, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This wasn't even mentioned in the wiki itself though.
