Review: Lead
- Couldn't help but notice [1] has a picture of Ng. It wouldn't hurt to ask if they could publish the image under a Creative-Commons license, but this isn't a requirement.
- Any way you could find a pronunciation for her last name?
- Added
- during which time she took up writing, Ng went to the United States to at the University of Ohio. To study? missing some words
- Oops, added
- In the text you have her going to the University of Ohio but in the infobox you have her going to Ohio State University?
- Oops, fixed
- Upon her graduation in 1997, she took a year to work in the US before returning to Indonesia and taking a job at a shipping company ->> After her graduation in 1997, she worked in the US for a year before returning to Indonesia to work at a shipping company
- Done.
- How notable are the Adhikarya Awards? I'd redlink if they were notable.
- Wouldn't know without trying to write an article (first I'd heard of them, but I don't follow children's lit)
Early life
- ...until 1989; it was while in middle school that she took up writing, studying on her own. what do you mean, "studying on her own"?
- Clarified
Writing career
- The prose gets kind of repetitive, saying one was released... then the next... then the next.
- From 7 to four now
Style
- Ng's main characters are generally female, although the characters' employment can vary. A reword would be nice, since this is unclear as to what is being said
- Changed
Personal life
- As of 2010, Ng is married to Nicholas Ng, a Malaysian national... Perhaps link Malaysia, and do explain what a Malaysian national is.
- Per WP:OVERLINK I think Malaysia shouldn't be linked (I'm assuming [hoping?] most readers know what it is). Changed "national" to "citizen" Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:34, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
- I think that's everything Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:36, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
- For the image, I know Ucu Agustin and have asked her to help me get in contact with Ng. It would be more efficient than trying to get the JP to donate an image. Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:41, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Passed, and do try for the photo. Thanks, Albacore (talk) 21:36, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review! Hope the image seeking pans out Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:03, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
