 * Symbol question.svg - There's some good and some bad.
 * Good
 * Meets all basic criteria (length, date, etc)
 * The notes are great
 * The sources, whilst AGF, seem really good


 * Bad
 * The following sentences should be more neutral
 * He proved to be a successful commander, and usually brought home the rebel leader. Legends grew about his bravery:
 *  He considered his son-in-law Ananda Thuriya, an ethnic Mon and a proven military commander, a perfect fit for the region.
 * I'm fairly sure that the hook is based in reference #1 but could you please either confirm this and make it clearer or insert a different reference?

With those few tweaks we should hopefully be good to go! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 11:55, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, . For the "successful commander" sentence, I've added two direct citations of which (Harvey 1925: 58) is available on line for reference. As for the second, it's based on the conjecture of Prof. Sein Lwin Lay, the editor of the Toungoo Yazawin chronicle, and I've updated the sentence to reflect that. Please check. Thanks.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg - I'm really sorry - I've been in the middle of the countryside with little to no access to the internet for the holidays. It looks fantastic. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 13:51, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
