Format changes

[edit]

@Ogress: I've reverted some of the formatting changes you made.

  • The Shan States or formally the Federated Shan States was a colonial era region while the term "Shan states", used in Burmese history books, also includes the historical Shan polities that spanned from northwest Myanmar to northern Thailand today.
  • The Pagan Empire (1050s–1287) is a subset of the Pagan Kingdom (7th or 9th century to 1297). The early kings of Ava were trying to restore the empire, not just the kingdom. Ava was already bigger than the mid-11th century Pagan Kingdom.
  • For Burmese honorifics, see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Burmese). Hybernator (talk) 02:40, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Hybernator: Shan states redirects to Shan States; why would you revert that instead of linking, say, to Shan people? Why would you relink every single Burmese honorific to Burmese names#Honorifics instead of leaving them italicised after the first example? It appears you simply rolled back all my edits; you delinked Machiavelli, for example. I'm throwing my hands up here in confusion. Ogress 19:18, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can't use Shan people for Shan states, which were multi-ethnic societies--just like lowland states of the era. Different Burmese honorifics should be wikified so readers could find out what "U", "Daw", "Maung", "Saya" mean. Italicization doesn't say much other than that it's a foreign word. And we don't italicize Burmese honorifics in U Thant or U Nu. Thanks. Hybernator (talk) 21:43, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominees for Arakan

[edit]

@MinNyo1412: Please read (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 414–415) and (Mani Yadanabon 2009: 62–63) critically. The minister was advising against the first four nominees by laying out their case in a negative way; he was implicitly, if not explicitly, suggesting the king to choose Saw Me by saying he could teach Saw Me how to govern. Of course, the king made the final decision. The ministers could only suggest or advise--explicitly or implicitly. Hybernator (talk) 19:15, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
