• yes, it also needs to outline the fact that they are not only a Chinese ethnic minority but one of the national ethnic minorities of Burma - this information has to go beyond drug trade and armed rebeliion, as that is more of a reductionist point of view that does not take into account the cultural and historical background of this group in Burma. I'm working on this, but it might be a while until I get to this article, so if someone else wants to go for it, that's great. --Xiu Xiu 12:20, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Flag

What exactly is the status of the flag that was added to the article? Is ist the flag of an administrative division, a political organisation? The byline is no sufficient explanation. —Babelfisch 03:10, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The byline was changed to "Flag of the de facto Wa State in Myanmar". That's not much better. The Wa State seems to have been merged with the Shan State after independence. Did the flag have official status before that merger? What does it stand for today? The question of the status of the flag is not really answered by the new byline. —Babelfisch 01:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

No answer, flag removed. —Babelfisch 01:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
