"which support by two companies of KST( Korps Speciale Troepen)" 
this is ambiguous, could mean either
* which support two companies of KST or
* which are supported by two companies of KST - probably this one, which is what I chose
Mayor Rokus Bernadus Visser - surely this means Major Rokus...
"group 4 is intelligence and Sandhi Yudha"

message: "...but brilliantly executed this fast-paced operation. One of the Kopassus commandos was shot by the leader of the hijackers, and then shot himself."
: It certainly does - "brilliantly" is blatantly POV. Also there is Ken Conboy's allegation that one of the hijackers was taken alive and murdered by Kopassus in the plane on the way back to Jakarta. I'll look that one up when I have the time. Davidelit (talk) 03:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This does not mean I necessarily agree with the contents of this edit by Starstylers, rather I'm reverting myself after accidentally hitting the rollback button. regards --Merbabu (talk) 00:04, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarify... 

message: I have edited the article to include readily accessible peer-reviewed material which invalidates the numerous unsubstantiated vested-interest NGO agit-prop masquerading as balanced reportage. I also point out, Wikipedia in English, accessed within Indonesia is also subject to near identical libel and slander laws as Wikipedia US content, thus the article now obeys Wikipedia new directives in balanced and fair reportage.Starstylers (talk) 20:12, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of NGO POV

message: This article has gone from bad to worse in recent days. Every reference added by Starstylers needs to be verified by editors. Of the Google books references I have so far checked, the previews do not show the pages cited. Until this is all checked, then in my opinion the tag should remain. --Merbabu (talk) 21:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: POV tag

message: I removed this as I cannot see how the provided source supports the information. Could the editor who placed it please point out how it supports the info? Further, it's a highly emotive and partisan piece - it's tone suggests it is not appropriate source. --Merbabu (talk) 21:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Misrepresentation of sources?

message: I apologise for the low standard of Australian education if one is not able to follow the essential argument. The argument is simple: T majority public and academic mainstream discourse overwhelmingly proves Australian and by extension Western (as most US-UK scholarship is based on that of their Austrlian counterparts) hypocrisy, endemic bias and overall poor credibility of any and all Austrlian corroborating references- with specific reference to human rigthts abuses- as shown in the argument to be politically and economically motivated
I quote Merbabu as he states on "Dave1185" user page. []125.161.130.52 (talk) 15:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment is sourced

message: :"During the May 1998 riots of Indonesia, renegade Kopassus members were involved in organising and carrying out acts of murder and violence against Chinese Indonesians.[6] This included involvement in mass gang-rapes of Sino-Indonesian women and girls across Jakarta. [7]"
If you check the sources referenced to this statement, there are no renegade kopassus members involvement mentioned, not even mentioning the word 'Kopassus'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.195.10.90 (talk) 07:45, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong information 

message: Why the special forces adapted the red baret is not because the Dutch special forces had red berets, they had green berets, the red berets in the KNIL were the 1st Parachute company. on photo's of the Dutch Major you can see his green Special Forces beret, because he never had a red one.--ArmTheInsane (talk) 16:20, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Kopassus (a portmanteau of Komando Pasukan Khusus or "Special Forces Command") is an Indonesian Army (TNI-AD) special forces group that conducts special operations missions for the Indonesian government, such as direct action, unconventional warfare, sabotage, counter-insurgency, counter-terrorism, intelligence gathering and Special reconnaissance (SR).
Kopassus was founded on 16 April 1952. It gained worldwide attention after several operations such as the Indonesian invasion of East Timor and the release of hostages from Garuda Indonesia Flight 206.
The Special Forces spearheaded some of the government's military campaigns: putting down regional rebellions in the late 1950s, the Operation Trikora (Western New Guinea campaign) in 1961–1962, the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation from 1962–1966, the massacres of alleged communists in 1965, the East Timor invasion in 1975, and subsequent campaigns against separatists in various provinces.
Kopassus is reported by national and international media, human rights-affiliated NGOs and researchers to have committed violations of human rights in East Timor, Aceh, Riau and Papua and the capital Jakarta. Published articles in mainstream media may include epithets such as "the notorious Kopassus" or "abusive Indonesian unit".Jones, Tony; Griffiths, Emma (12 August 2003) "Al Qaeda claim could be authentic: Howard".

thread_title: Missions

message: I removed some sections which are clear pov content sections. "Assassination activity" and "Militia force" stand alone sections. Sections should be NPOV and balanced, so it is the best to be inside body of an article, history section etc. Anyway, there is also one "Issues" section what can be expanded by additional content. Content needs to be, of course, sourced, with relevant and notable sources and so users don't forget this is not a private blog and to read WP:NOT policies. Cheers.

replies: text:  Hello. I saw a message on my talk page. As soon as I noticed part of the content was poorly sourced and already covered in the other sections (there is one history section and also one issues section), I opened talk page discussion and I hoped to that IP user/users would show up. I tried to explain at first in my edit summaries about, but then I noticed a pattern of adding the same content over and over again without engaging in the talk page at all. I explained here about some of my concerns. I hope I didn't made some mess, but this things repeat already for a long time. I deeply apologize for my rectent short edit summaries, but this things goes from beginning of February. And almost every day, the same content, just different IP address. And this article already was protected for some days. Nubia86 (talk) 03:15, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
