  • [PDF]The Chin Hills (VolI) - Nikonghong https://nikonghong.files.wordpress.comThis online magazine homepage does not contain the material being cited. A search on the website for "Chin Hills" returns multiple results, but none that clearly match the remainder of the description or appear to contain material supporting the statement in the article.
  • The ZNC in Burma was registered as a political party in 1988. It was permitted to function as a political organization until 1992, when the Burma military government abolished the party, and banned it from all political activities. While heavily oppressed as an un-sanctioned party, ZNC still exists within Burma, and is part of the global Zomi movement. ZNC — Is this a quote from a source? Is "ZNC" the source? Need more bibliographic detail.
  • Chin Sian Thang, 67, is chairman of the ZNC. Elected as a Member of Parliament during Burma's 1990 elections, he has worked diligently for many years in defiance of the country's ruling junta. During the 1960s, Chin Sian Thang served as a leader of the Chin Ethnic Student Union while a student at Rangoon University. He has been imprisoned on at least six occasions by successive military regimes for his political activities between 1972 and 1999 ZNC — Is this a quote from a source? Is "ZNC" the source?

  • Naulak Innkuan Laibu. 2003.If this is the title, who is the author, who published it, what language is it in, and which page(s) support the article text.

The article has some inline citations to sources, but there is often a disconnect between what the source says and what the article says. It is unclear whether this is because original research has been introduced, or because the text was written by an editor not fluent in English who has not made themselves understood. The text needs to rewritten from word one ("Gramatically position of Zomi"!!?) to be comprehensible and to stay true to what the sources say. When the body is clear, a lead will need to be added.

The relevance to Zomi nationalism of the genealogy table copied from Naulak is unclear. Either it should be removed, or sufficient context should be added to make its importance to the topic clear. Worldbruce (talk) 19:36, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
