He is a Myanmar national[edit]

Private communication with the author confirms that he currently holds Myanmar citizenship. Please do not change it. SWH^®^talk 16:47, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

if he was born in the US, he's an American... unless he undertook a very long and painful process to renounce his citizenship... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:4C02:9B10:FD34:3040:3165:E18A (talk) 04:53, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not always! Sons and daughters of diplomats can avoid that. Not sure whether his parents had a diplomatic status. Halskw (talk) 04:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lectures[edit]

Those lectures are actually conference visits and not notable in my opinion. As a matter of fact, almost every student in the US goes to a conference visit every semester and gives presentations (lectures). The reason we should remove those is that they can easily be confused with an official position at the universities. People think of it as being a lecturer.

COI edits[edit]

I strongly suspect JudahEzekie, ArthurPhayre, HenryYule2018, Moon-San214, SukhumvitRoad2021, and many others are either U Thant Myint-U himself or people close to him. Halskw (talk) 15:07, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
