UK or British
We call UK as Britain but why not incorrect? See United Kingdom So do Myanmar people know about that? How do we call UK?--Ekyaw (talk) 16:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Need article on Tun Tin, former Prime Minister
According to the template we have a prime minister without an article: Prime Ministers of Burma (Myanmar)

Manual of Style (Burmese)
Although it is quite short at the moment, I have proposed making Manual of Style (Burmese) an official Wikipedia style guideline. Feel free to add to the proposed style recommendations and support or oppose the proposal on the talk page. Kaldari (talk) 22:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Forced display
I created the new lang-my-Mymr template that forces Burmese characters to display correctly in any browser, not just Firefox, and I added it to this WikiProject's Templates. Enjoy! ☺ Taric25 (talk) 19:12, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Burma in the Dutch Empire
Hello everyone! There is a discussion at Talk:Dutch Empire, because user Red4tribe has made a map of the Dutch Empire (Image:Dutch Empire 4.png) that includes significative parts of Burma. Would you like to comment? Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 15:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Still OR, POV and unsourced (yours is not not a credible source). Please discuss stuff at Talk:Dutch Empire. This was just a request for comment, not a discussion. Thank you. The Ogre (talk) 16:38, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Burmese)
There is a proposal to adopt Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (Burmese). I would feel more comfortable if more than two editors were involved. I have no objection other than to the procedure and claim of consensus in the absense of broad discussion. Please review and comment, even if only to agree. --Kevin Murray (talk) 23:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Naming conventions (Burmese)
Please weigh in on the debate about Burmese honorifics at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Burmese). Thanks! Kaldari (talk) 19:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
 * The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
 * The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
 * A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Articles flagged for cleanup
Currently, 2003 articles are assigned to this project, of which 266, or 13.3%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 2008-07-14.) Are you interested in finding out more? I am offering to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings for details. More than 150 projects and work groups have already subscribed, and adding a subscription for yours is easy - just place a template on your project page.

If you want to respond to this canned message, please do so at my user talk page; I'm not watching this page. --B. Wolterding (talk) 17:14, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Anyone can give more information about Great Bell of Dhammazedi?
I have started the article about Great Bell of Dhammazedi.I believed there is a lot of facts to add in and it is interesting topic I think. --Zawthetaung (talk) 17:32, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Rudyard Kipling FAR
Rudyard Kipling has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 16:16, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion discussion

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Myanmar
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:24, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

417 Myanmar/Burma-related articles needing geographical coordinates
Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Burma, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Burma, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added.

The articles in question are listed in Category:Burma articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:
 * 1) Hlaingthaya Township
 * 2) Kyaukpyu District
 * 3) Lake of No Return
 * 4) Mansi Township
 * 5) Mogaung Township
 * 6) Nyaungdon Township
 * 7) Pakokku Airport

...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 417 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.

Why add coordinates?
By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.

How can I do it?
The articles are all marked with coord missing tags, which need to be replaced with coord tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members. Please let me know if this is useful, or if you have any questions! -- The Anome (talk) 09:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Lasin, Burma
Another editor nominated Lasin, Burma for deletion because it is a very brief article. If you can expand the article, please do so. -- Eastmain (talk) 22:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
