[edit] Myanmar

Myanmar's article is well written, providing a history of the country, the junta now in power, the regions of the country, and the short-lived free elections that the junta cracked down on shortly thereafter because they were not pleased with the results. SushiGeek 21:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. There are "citation needed" templatees somewhere and one section is marked as to be wikified. -- Grafikm (AutoGRAF) 21:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Object - Insufficient inline citations. Fieari 22:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. This article should go through both Peer Review and have a good copyedit first. There are several problems with this article, including:
    • A section is marked to be wikified, per Grafikm
    • Inline citations are insuffiecient, per Fieari
    • The country is alternately referred to as Burma and/or Myanmanr in several sections
    • The article is very list heavy
    • No explicit references section
This could benefit from a Peer Review, before renomination. RyanGerbil10 04:48, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Object -- ref to PR. The article can be expanded further. =Nichalp «Talk»= 05:58, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose seconding all concerns raised by User:RyanGerbil10. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 06:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Object per above.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment-Weak opening needs to be fixed. Culture section is a bit short and lacking. Perhaps integrate origin and history of name into opening as well. Tombseye 23:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. Incorrect name. HenryFlower 14:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
    What's incorrect inthe name? =Nichalp «Talk»= 03:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
    I think that he's meaning it should be called Burma, but Myanmar is the official name given to it and applied to it, so I don't really think this oppose is valid Darkhooda 21:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Object, needs more sources. --Terence Ong 13:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
