@Htanaungg: Slightly surprised the article is actually new. Regardless, hook is interesting, and verifiable from the Nikkei source. Second paragraph of the "After 2021 Myanmar coup d'état" subsection needs paraphrasing though, it is basically a copy paste from the Reuters article now. Otherwise, article is certainly long enough and reasonably well-referenced, and written in a sufficiently neutral tone. QPQ done so just ping once you've fixed the issue.

@Wikignome Wintergreen: could you pls help this one too? Htanaungg (talk) 04:19, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Caught me just before bed, Htanaungg. I paraphrased that bit, and since it's much shorter now, figured I'd combine it with the preceding paragraph. Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 05:03, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Wikignome Wintergreen. @Juxlos: the issue has now been fixed. Htanaungg (talk) 05:08, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: what about the above twos? Htanaungg (talk) 07:35, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Htanaungg: much better, but both are still facing WP:EGG—ALT1a? And what do you think, Juxlos? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 20:13, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
