Israel and Australia

[edit]

The sentence in question is: "Israel and Australia often provide specialists to enhance the training of Myanmar's police[2]."

The words Israel and Australia appear only once each in the article cited as corroborating that assertion: "It also said both South and North Korea and Israel reportedly have supplied weaponry or other aide to Myanmar's military. And it said that Myanmar military and police officials have received training from Russia, Ukraine, and Australia."

Whether the nebulous "it is said" is sufficient justification for including those two (but not ROK, DPRK, Russia, or Ukraine, for some reason. . .) I'll leave aside. It seems clear that (1)the cited source does not assert that Israel and Australia OFTEN provide anything, that (2) it doesn't assert that Israel provides any kind of specialist, nor is it asserted that (3) the "weaponry or other aide" Israel provides goes to the Myanmar Police Force.

To me, that's justification for clipping the sentence. I can see an argument for reworking the sentence, but as is, it seems objectively wrong. 76.170.112.193 (talk) 21:04, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Myanmar Police Force

[edit]

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 Police Force'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 "trade":

  • From ZFB-05: "Trade Registers". Armstrade.sipri.org. Retrieved 1 January 2015.
  • From Malaysian Armed Forces: "Arms Transfers". Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. Retrieved 30 August 2015.

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 12:22, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
