Ananda Thuriya

(

)

... that a poem, composed by Ananda Thuriya of Pagan minutes before his execution, is considered the first known poem in Burmese?

Comment only, review still needed: Hook wording tweaked and trimmed a bit. Edwardx (talk) 00:53, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Long enough and new enough relative to the date of this nomination, QPQ performed, all non-lead paragraphs have inline citations, checks for copyvio reveals no problems (e.g. [1]). The only problem is that the part about the subject writing the poem right before his execution is not presently backed with an inline citation to a reliable source in the article at the end of a sentence that states this.

@Northamerica1000:: Thanks for the review. I've added two explicit inline citations: one by the Burmese encyclopedia Myanma Swezon Kyan and (Harvey 1925), the latter of which is generally accessible on Google Books. (Harvey 1925) is also the source of the English translation in there. Hybernator (talk) 02:34, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

I have also contributed, adding some new sources and citations to the article. Hook content is presently backed with inline citations to reliable sources in the article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:54, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
