Doing... ミラP@Miraclepine 16:36, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Checked the Brill book on WL and can't find anything about Nanggulon having 200 men on the sourced pages; otherwise everything is sourced and reliable. The J. H. C. and H. V. in the infobox's "Commanders and leaders" are unsourced. AGF ref 1 since it's an abstract for Saleh Djamhari's doctoral dissertation, which in turn works per WP:DISSERTATION.
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: 2165 B and created five days before nom. Found no other issues except what I pointed out here. Wasn't sure if "heavy" violated NPOV but then the Brill ref cites multiple sources so I cleared it. I'll also revise with an ALT1 - added for clearer syntax - that I'll let the promoter approve if nom doesn't object: ALT1: ... that the grave of a Dutch officer and his dog who were killed in the Battle of Nanggulon is a designated cultural object in Indonesia? @Juxlos: fix these and you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 17:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Miraclepine: See the note at the bottom of Carey 2015; p651: "This was a sizeable structure, the third largest ever built by the Dutch, capable of housing 221 troops and defended by several canon"; reworded the article slightly. Juxlos (talk) 05:37, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Juxlos: Got it, though J. H. C. and H. V. need to be either cited or removed before I can approve. ミラP@Miraclepine 14:45, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Miraclepine: It's in some of the prior editions of the Dutch-language book. Bit inconvenient to find it exactly, so I changed the infobox a bit. The major is less relevant to the battle anyway. Captain's name is in the cited source, added inline. Juxlos (talk) 07:48, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Juxlos: Well with the source discrepancy fixed,

good to go. I can't approve ALT1, so I'll let a promoter decide. ミラP@Miraclepine 16:37, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
