I added several references to the flap about Ambassador Awad that nearly resulted in his being declared persona non grata. However, I could not find any reference to Wahid having studied in Israel during his youth. Can someone add that, either to Early Life or to Overseas Education?

I thought the article used to explain where his nickname "Gus Dur" came from, but at any rate, it doesn't explain it now, and it should. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 00:57, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
The recent edit of his inability to get his Arabic fluency recognized in Egypt seems to have condensed too much of the earlier text. We are now left with an "out of the blue" comment about inability to get fluency certified, which sidesteps the whole issue of being obviously (?) fluent and yet not certified. The original text says something about bureaucracy and is useful info (assuming it's true).
Also, I read somewhere that Gus Dur studied in Israel for a time, which was a factor in his refusal to take a hard-line against that country. Can someone find a source for this info? Martindo ( talk) 01:48, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Per the request at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Abdurrahman Wahid has died - page being vandalised... and following review of the editing history I have protected the article for 3 days. If a consensus arises that semi-protection should be substituted, or protection fully lifted, please contact an administrator. If protection remains, contact an admin to enact any consensually agreed edits, as discussed on this page. LessHeard vanU ( talk) 13:08, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Can an admin please add Category:2009 deaths to the category structure.
And can the following also be added to the death section...
Wahid died on Wednesday, 30 December 2009 at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in Central Jakarta. According to Maman Imanulhaq from the National Awakening Party, Wahid died after undergoing dental surgery at the hospital. [1]

May be useful for later. Arsonal ( talk) 17:06, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
I notice that this article sways a bit in favour of Wahid, without addressing the real reasons he was removed from office, for instance. This should be addressed. This article makes him out to be a victim of insurrection, and while that's partly true, there was a reason he was removed. -- rm 'w a vu 23:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
