... that the Myanmar Coast Guard was proposed as a civilian law enforcement agency by Aung San Suu Kyi in 2018, but established as a branch of the military by Min Aung Hlaing in October 2021? Source: "Myanmar Junta Launches New Coastguard". The Irrawaddy. 7 October 2021.

Reviewed: This is my fourth DYK, so QPQ is still N/A.

Created by Myo Win Naing (talk). Nominated by Htanaungg (talk) at 13:59, 14 October 2021 (UTC).[reply]

New enough (created 11 October), long enough (2303 characters), and within policy. The hook looks good, and is interesting. QPQ is not needed. The copyvio check reports issues, though, see [1]. I also can't clearly see the hook information in the article. If those two issues can be fixed, then this otherwise looks good. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:25, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Peel, there was some... I'll be charitable and call it 'unhelpful editing'... that removed part of the (sourced) hook information from the article, which I assume is why you didn't see it. I've reverted. Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 22:23, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Peel, some info in the article was removed by someone yesterday which has been reverted now; maybe that's why you didn't find it. Wikignome Wintergreen, could you pls do some clean-up for the first issue, if OK. (Sorry for my late reply as internet connection here in Burma is really bad these days.)

I reworded a bunch of the copy-pasted stuff. I'm not sure what % I was supposed to be aiming for - is it low enough now? Wikignome Wintergreen^talk 04:01, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hope its fine now; only 7.4% left. Thanks a million, Wikignome Wintergreen. Htanaungg (talk) 04:25, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Wikignome Wintergreen and Htanaungg: everything looks good to go now. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 09:26, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Myanmar Coast Guard

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Myanmar Coast Guard's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ReferenceA":

From Royal Thai Air Force: Reed Business Information Limited. "SINGAPORE: Saab looks for additional Thai Gripen sale". Archived from the original on 22 February 2014. Retrieved 24 December 2014. {{cite web}}: |author= has generic name (help)
From Tatmadaw: Maung Aung Myoe: Building of Tatmadaw
From ASEAN: Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralzation
From Royal Cambodian Armed Forces: Ian Ramage, Strong Fighting: Sexual Behavior and HIV/AIDS in the Cambodian Uniformed Services, 2002

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:58, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
