Talk:Aung San Suu Kyi/Archive 2

Name
Like most Burmese, Aung San Suu Kyi doesn't have a surname. Thus it is technically incorrect to refer to her as "Suu Kyi", as we currently do throughout this article. WP:BURMESE says "when referring to Burmese people in Wikipedia articles, you should always use the full form of the person's name." This issue was previously discussed here way back in 2006. At the time, 2 editors expressed support for using "Suu Kyi" and 2 editors expressed opposition. I think enough time has passed to justify revisiting the issue, especially since WP:BURMESE didn't exist then. Kaldari (talk) 03:34, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I suspect this is because she is widely referred to as simply "Suu Kyi" in the media (see e.g. BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera etc). Number   5  7  08:32, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * All of those instances postdate our usage here. Is there evidence that she was commonly referred to as Suu Kyi before we started doing it here? We shouldn't underestimate Wikipedia's ability to propagate bad usage. Kaldari (talk) 18:59, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, it predates Wikipedia by some way. See these articles on the BBC from 1999. Number   5  7  15:14, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Myanmar leader Aung Sa Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize for the repatriation of thousands of people have signed an online petition.

Myanmar against the Rohingya minority to take a position with regard to the widespread human rights violations for failing to back his Nobel Peace Prize, called the petition. Meanwhile, millions of people signed the petition to change the dot-arge. Indonesia is believed to have been informed of this request.

According to the petition, "who worked to preserve international peace and brotherhood, they were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Like Suu Kyi, who received the award, they will protect you until the last day of the values, that is to be expected.

The continuous persecution of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar's Aung Sa Suu Kyi has been criticized for his silent role. He even urged the US ambassador to the Rohingyas, who are not referred to by this name.

Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize arge Change dot at the beginning of the withdrawal of the application, a BBC journalist Mishal Husain He noted that the ghatanarao is mentioned.

In this interview given to the BBC's Mishal Hussain, Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar's Rohingya Muslims had to face a lot of unpleasant and difficult question.

After the interview, Aung Sa Suu Kyi 013 or commented, "and (Mishal Husain) said to me before that a Muslim man."

According to the petition, Myanmar's democracy leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi is to face when you hear it, it was then surprised many.

Eligible to be PM after 1990 elections or not? Article is very unclear
The article is not clear whether she was eligible to be PM after the 1990 election. It says "as she was not permitted, she did not stand as a candidate in the elections", but it's not clear what she was not permitted to do. There is then the statement "being a member of parliament is not a strict prerequisite for becoming prime minister in most parliamentary systems" but I believe that is irrelevant; the only relevant question is whether a non-MP could be PM in Myanmar/Burma in 1990. Anyway, it would be good if this could be clarified by someone who knows. Adpete (talk) 06:23, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Transcription of her name
I'm looking at the article on the MLC Transcription System and, still, I can't figure out why the transcription of the syllable usually rendered "Kyi" in English, phonetically [tɕì], would be "krany" in MLC. Is that right, or is it a long-standing typo that no one has corrected? Largoplazo (talk) 10:23, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Noteworthy petition?
While online petitions aren't necessarily noteworthy, George Monbiot has now put his weight behind the one to have Aung San Suu Kyi’s Nobel Prize revoked, in a comprehensively researched op-ed in The Guardian. Do other editors share my feeling that this is significant enough to warrant inclusion? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 10:57, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, it should be included in the article section. But, IMO, it is better integrated to the section than lumping into lead section. There are my reasons in above section. Thank you. --Phyo WP (message)  12:41, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Agreed: if it belongs anywhere, it should be in the section [[Aung San Suu Kyi#Response to violence against Rohingya Muslims and refugees|Response to violence

against Rohingya Muslims and refugees]] ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 15:12, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Reliable sources have quoted the Nobel stance that prizes can not be rescinded for any reason. While certainly her position as a highly visible Burmese human rights activist among the current Rohingya crisis is noteworthy, the petitioning is not leadworthy.

Rohingya
I think the lead should include a statement about controversy over her handling of the Rohingya controversy. Recently, it has become a major part of her public image. And if we're excluding it, I see no reason to devote a paragraph that lists her honors when they're already listed later in the article. Fixed245 (talk) 04:47, 6 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, I agree to remove her honors in lead section except Nobel Peace Prize and a brief mentioning of The Elders. Phyo WP (message)  05:03, 6 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Ok. I agree to include only the most notable awards and skip the rest. Dr.   K.  05:26, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Per Manual of Style/Lead section, the lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. Well-publicized recent events affecting a subject, whether controversial or not, should be kept in historical perspective. What is most recent is not necessarily what is most notable. It should be included in the normal biographical sections they occur in, in this article. Thank you. Phyo WP (message)  18:58, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * @, called for her Nobel prize to be revoked should be added to appropriate section, and what is your reference for many ( I found only some). I don't think it is WP:DUE for coverage in lead section per Manual of Style/Lead section. Activists called to revoke the Nobel Prize of other politicians (eg. Barack Obama, Yasir Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin, etc) but these are not mentioned in the lead section of the articles. IMO, same rationale should apply in this article. Thank you. --Phyo WP (message)  10:50, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * @Phyo WP: The purpose of a WP:LEAD, as stated, is to concisely and in a non-biased manner "summarize the body of the article with appropriate weight", with reference to any most important points, including any prominent controversies. The previous version as you can see is inadequate and falls well short of that. Since you mentioned Obama, Arafat, and Rabin, I would note that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; however even those articles' leads appropriately summarize major controversies/criticism. Indeed that applies to most political leaders. While this article's lead is heavily skewed towards Suu Kyi's activism and political career, it contained nothing about her controversial views on the Rohingya crisis which go back to 2013. This despite there being a big section devoted to exactly that. The Nobel prize controversy isn't very recent, it's been recurrent since the last couple of years, and it is well-covered across all reliable sources. Therefore, to not mention the controversy attached to her award and views on the Rohingya crisis is WP:UNDUE, given how prominent it is. Thanks,  Mar4d  ( talk ) 12:59, 6 September 2017 (UTC)


 * With all due respect, but I found no major controversies/criticism in lead section of Barack Obama, Yitzhak Rabin, Hillary Clinton, and some comparable FA/GA articles. There were many controversies in her long career/political history. IMO, it is not a good idea to give undue attention to one controversy in the lead section, and I think it can be better integrated than lumping into lead section.
 * In regarding Nobel prize to be revoked, please show some references for and  in the article (as I found only ). According to the given references, the recent call to revoke the prize is not majority POV (an online petition and protests) and not notable enough to mention in BLP article lead section (footnote). My two cents. --Phyo WP  (message)  16:35, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Of course it's notable enough. Media coverage has been immense in recent weeks. Frankly, you have no credibility on this issue; you've consistently sought to minimize or eliminate all references to her handling of the Rohingya crisis. That leads me to conclude that you have an agenda. Fixed245 (talk) 01:25, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
 * When a user with 134 edits 6 month old accuses a user with 9000 edits 6 years old in having an agenda it is laughable.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:41, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Rohingya, in light of media attention
Now that media coverage on Suu Kyi has, for the last few months, almost exclusively focused on her handling of the Rohingya issue, it's time to re-evaluate whether a statement addressing the relevant controversy belongs in the lead. Fixed245 (talk) 06:17, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Absolutely some statement belongs in the lead by this stage. Dan the Plumber (talk) 22:50, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Controversy section
The controversy section is not in line with Wikipedia's policies. The content should be introduced into her career section, as it is pertinent to her reign in that country. Beyond not being in line with policy, the side-effect is the reduction of her involvement with a genocide to a less substantial role on the page than should likely be merited by choice of structure rather than thoughtful decision. 67.69.131.130 (talk) 06:38, 7 June 2018 (UTC)


 * The controversy section has now been merged into her political career. starship.paint ~  KO   14:28, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

"Self pity" paragraph
Quote: "On 2 May 2008, after Cyclone Nargis hit Burma, Suu Kyi lost the roof of her house and lived in virtual darkness after losing electricity in her dilapidated lakeside residence. She used candles at night as she was not provided any generator set.[32] Plans to renovate and repair the house were announced in August 2009.[33]"

What is this? Some sort of poetic self pity crybaby? Millions of people lived without electricity, and Suu Kyi's case is nothing special, it was caused by natural disaster for pete's sake.

I request that the following line be changed from "former state counsellor of Myanmar" to "deposed state counsellor of Myanmar"

By referring to her as "former" Wikipedia is implicitly legitimising the military junta that illegally seized power from a democratically elected government. This is a particularly important line as it shows up in the brief summary on a Google search of Aung San Suu Kyi's name and is therefore highly visible.

❌. WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS - see responses above. Also, this is the third similar request from a new account that has only edited this talk page to make the same request. I smell WP:SOCKs here.

 * There is no "sockpuppetry" going on as far as I am aware. This is a genuine request. The fact that you have had multiple requests of the similar nature (albeit not particularly well argued ones) should perhaps indicate that there is a genuine issue to resolve. Threatening to use your influence to prevent such requests is unnecessary and, frankly, an abuse of that influence.


 * I find your previous answer to which you keep referring both ill-informed and slightly provocative. Surely if there is one place where semantics matter it is Wikipedia. It is not a case of wishing for a different reality, it is reflecting the nuances of a complex situation - that is the reality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avanti21 (talk • contribs) 16:45, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * we go by what reliable sources say, whether it fits our own views or not. Mjroots (talk) 18:01, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course, however, do you not agree that it is too early to refer to her as "former" since the outcome of the coup is not yet definitive? I would request that the text be changed to "deposed" until the outcome is confirmed. My reasoning is below, I hope you will give it due consideration since it is based on Wikipedia's own reliable sources. This may seem trivial but I can assure you it is not.


 * Wikpedia's entry on coup d'état references the following paper Powell, J M. et al 1 March 2011. "Global instances of coups from 1950 to 2010 A new dataset". Journal of Peace Research. 48 (2): 249–259. In this paper the author refers to a previous definition of a "successful" coup as one in which power is held for more than 7 days. However, the author also acknowledges in the same source that "While almost all scholars listed in Table I differentiate success and failure in a similar manner, the one-week threshold is somewhat arbitrary. A theoretically stronger approach would be to follow O’Kane (1987: 37–38), who considers a coup to be successful if it leads to the ‘installation in power of a government of the conspirators’ own choosing’.


 * The military junta has not fully installed a working government and as such the current coup cannot yet be considered successful under the latter definition.


 * There is clearly much uncertainty around the definition of a successful coup, however, based on extensive media coverage, it should be clear that a very sizeable proportion of the Myanmar population do not accept the change in leadership and the outcome is still very much uncertain. Aung San Suu Kyi cannot be described as a former leader any more than the military can be described as the government of the country.


 * As noted in a New York Times article from 2019 (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/02/world/americas/venezuela-coup.html) "A leader’s legitimacy works like modern currencies. The paper itself has value only because consumers treat it as having value. Likewise, a leader is legitimate only as long as his country’s citizens and institutions treat him as legitimate."


 * As such, in addition to implicitly legitimising the military junta, this Wikipedia entry, in its attempts to be current, has overstepped the mark on this occasion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avanti21 (talk • contribs) 23:12, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , reliable sources describe her as deposed in the coup . If she returns to power, we will say so when it happens. For now, she has been removed from office, and is thus no longer State Counsellor, and is therefore a former State Counsellor. Wikipedia does not adjudicate legal or constitutional disputes. Your attempt at WP:SYNTH is not going to outweigh the strong consensus of reliable sources describing her as ousted. ― Tartan357  Talk 23:37, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
