:Should this page be moved? I never remember him being called anything except "B.J. Habibie", but that's just the Western media. Everyking 16:08, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It is correct that prior to his term as president, everybody in Indonesia referred to him as "B.J. Habibie", or even as "Habibie".  The newer "Jusuf Habibie" only started use during his presidency.  I vote to move it to "B.J. Habibie" or even just "Habibie", since they are by far more recognizable.  I'm not sure if "B.J." is an honorary title or not, though. Julius.kusuma 21:24, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  *drew, just a quick note that the correct spelling is "Habibie", not "Habiebie", although in West Java that is the name that people say in jest (bie means soft in Sundanese). --Julius.kusuma 18:26, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

text: I understand that the spelling of his name is incorrect, that's why I decide to list it in vfd. By the way, that article is not created by me. --*drew 00:19, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Uhhh... what? This article employs abhorrent grammar, that tag should not have been removed. The fact that his full name was repeated throughout the article over 30 times and the non-neutral wording were grounds to RETAIN the tag. —James (Talk • Contribs) • 10:00pm • 12:00, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, the grammar is pretty bad here. I've been working on it but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. Maybe I'll come back to it later and do some more. DaffyBridge (talk) 04:02, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Guten Tag Herr Habibie, heute las ich den großen Artikel über sie im Hamburger Abendblatt.
Der Zufall war es, dass ich ihren Fahrer Peter Bertling gut kannte.
Er war ein Neffe meiner Tanten Charlotte und Helene Bertling aus Henst.-Ulzburg. Sie hatten mal Peter und seine Frau Bruno nach Indonesien eingeladen.
Sie war ganz begeistert von der schönen Reise. Nun wollte ich den Artikel an Bertlings senden und erfuhr, das Peter sein Sohn im letzten Jahr mit 60 Jahren
verstorben ist. Peter ist auch schon lange gestorben, Sicher erinnern Sie sich noch an den großen stattlichen Mann.
Seine Witwe Brunhilde lebt in Essen. Ich werde den Artikel ihr zukommen lassen.
Ich wünsche ihnen weiterhin alles Gute. Sie haben ja viel für ihr Land getan.
Mit frdl. gruß

message: The terms "he got cancer and died as he succeeded Suharto" and "he is poor and homeless" were added to the lead section by an IP editor minutes before the article was actually semi-protected due to persistent vandalism. This content has not yet been removed. It constitutes obvious vandalism, therefore it should not remain in the article. Best regards, --85.216.245.67 (talk) 07:10, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

message: Unable to add at the moment but there should be a reference to ICMI. I'd suggest something like: 
While serving in cabinet, Habibie was also elected as the first Chair of the Indonesian Association of Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI) in 1990. This modernist Muslim organization provided him with a political base, linked to but independent of the Suharto administration.[1] Hefner, Robert W. (2000).
