Article overhaul, February 2016

edit

I've done a bit of a clean-up in order to fix some of the formatting and to provide better references.

I removed the information about the "Flat Brandon" that had a picture taken at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station with researcher Cynthia Chang as I could not find any supporting references via web searches. The exiting reference attached to it was quite bare and I could not find any link to this article via the web. In any event, it sounded to me like this was probably a "Flat Self" for a student named Brandon. You will note that I have kept the information about Flat Selves since I was able to find a couple of references, although both references contained stories of children creating doll-sized versions of themselves, not life-sized as was mentioned in the original text and as pictured in the existing image in this article. Nevertheless I did at least find other life-sized Flat Selves via image searches, so I decided to leave the image and to keep a sentence about life-sized versions but I have flagged it with a "citations needed" tag.

I also could not find any suitable references for "Swallowfield Stanley", "Flat Ashley" in southeast Asia, "Flat Asep" and "Flat Ujang" in Indonesia or "Paper Preeti" in India and what few existing references there were in the article prior to my edits were either from primary sources. This is admittedly a shame because it would be nice to have some info about this program's implementation in other parts of the world. It's also a shame that I had to remove the image of Swallowfield Stanley. Hopefully some of this information can be re-included in the future along with proper references. --Marchijespeak/peek 04:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)Reply


I found it! So I'm coincidentally from Indonesia, and I did a quick bit of searching, and found the website and the pictures for 'Flat Asep'. It seems to be a traditionally clothed puppet with clothing from Western Java, and it seems to be from a school in Bandung. the link is here by the way http://www.flatstanleyproject.com/indo/indonesia-flatasep.htm

I was also quickly able to find a website that had information regarding the 'Flat Ujang' doll, it's also from Bandung and is wearing a sarong and a black cap. http://www.flatstanleyproject.com/indo/flatstanleyprojectindo.htm
