This note is helpful, but it is placed in a way that makes it seem even more important than the subject of the article itself: "This is an Indonesian name; it does not have a family name. The name Syamsuddin is a patronymic."

For those who think it's extremely important to teach every reader the somewhat arcane distinction between a patronym and a patronymic surname, a section called "Name" could be added , and the statement can be moved to there. If it's not so important that it needs its own section, how about at least putting it somewhere other than before the article begins? It would make more sense to be featured in the Personal Life section, although some might think it isn't even important enough to be moved there.

Surely, though, it isn't a more important element of this article than Bapak Amir himself! So I would suggest moving it away from the top of the article. 75.97.15.41 (talk) 14:59, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
