Overall: Interesting hook. QPQ not done. I'm not sure about and the native Johanna van den Berg maybe something like and Johanna van den Berg, who was Bornean. Also I think 180'000$ should be $180,000 unless there's a very good reason for this format. Guettarda (talk) 22:33, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Also "also known as Louis Wyrsch" is mentioned in the lead, but not in the body, and lacks a source. Guettarda (talk) 22:34, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
