Thanks. Yes, it had slipped off my radar. I’m back on deck properly on Monday and will attend to it swiftly then. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:27, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
Lead
  • sacked the Hanthawaddy garrison "is unclear". Generally, towns are sacked, not garrisons. Do you mean defeated?
  • I was using it in the sense of a garrison town. Changed to "defeated".
  • longterm is normally two words, but is hyphenated in this situation, because it is a premodifying compound adjective, modifying the noun "peace".
Body
  • Vicroy→Viceroy
  • done.
  • Gov.?
  • changed to Governor throughout the article.
  • "repay the leader of the court" for what was he being repaid? loyalty, support?
  • added "for his support" at the end of the sentence.
  • "When the zayat was completed five days later, and the king"
  • done.
  • "Princess Tala Mi Kyaw washad been taken prisoner"
  • done.
  • "Razadarit was further shocked thatby the battle"?
  • He wasn't shocked by the battle per se but by the fact that he learned of the battle too late. Tweaked the sentence to "Razadarit was further shocked that the battle had taken place a few days earlier."
  • " (Minkhaung's job" - this sentence need not be in parens
  • done.
  • battle field is a single word, battlefield
  • done.
  • suggest "Razadarit was split"→"Razadarit was in two minds"
  • agreed. done.
  • "Ava forces planted their scaling ladders on the riverside walls" of what? I thought that the Ava forces held Prome at this point?


1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
  • I ran the dash script to fix MOS dash issues. You can install a script that does this automatically, see here.
  • there are a lot of unnecessary duplicate links (ie multiple links to the same article), I strongly suggest trimming these. You can install a sidebar script that identified these things. It is here
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
  • some in-line citations are grouped but not in numerical order (ie [61][57][44]). This isn't required, but begs the question as to whether closer citation is needed, and which information is drawn from which source.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
2c. it contains no original research.
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
  • File:Ava–Hanthawaddy War 1401–1403 Overview.png needs info about the reliable source used to establish location and town name information
  • Added that I used Google Maps for the town locations.
  • Regarding the names, I've used pre-1989 English spellings as almost all English language books use them. E.g., Ava instead of Inwa; Pegu instead of Bago; etc. (I can add this to the description if you think such a clarification is needed.) Hybernator (talk) 17:27, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • the source and author information for File:放九頭鳥銃圖.jpg needs to be translated
  • File:Ava–Hanthawaddy War 1401–1403 Prome area.png needs info about the reliable source used to establish location and town name information
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
  • captions that are complete sentences need a terminal full stop
7. Overall assessment. On hold for the above to to be addressed. Nothing here that would preclude passing, mostly minor stuff. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:26, 8 September 2024 (UTC) Passing. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:56, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
