Orphaned references in Communist insurgency in Myanmar

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 Communist insurgency in Myanmar'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.

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 ⚡ 01:43, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Effectively identical, and I have done my best to add it, given that I do not have the book to gather the pages from. -- The Voidwalker ^Discuss 19:36, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I propose redirecting this article to Communist Party of Burma as the article prose is just an old revision of the Communist Party of Burma article. When I created this article in 2015, I simply moved much of the History section of the Communist Party of Burma article at the time to this article (without proper attribution, if you'll excuse my then newbie-ness). Since then, this article has not been changed much aside from additions to the infobox which are not mentioned in the prose (i.e. contradiction of MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE). At the Communist Party of Burma article, however, I have since touched up the prose and remedied several sourcing issues.

Since this article is essentially a mirror of the an older, inferior version of the Communist Party of Burma article, I propose redirecting this article to it. Afterwards, anyone who wishes to restart the article for this topic with a dedicated prose can do so, either at this title or something similar, like Communist insurgency in Myanmar.

Merge - agreed. I think there's material out there for a broader article that covers communists post 1989 but as of right now this article is duplicate content with little info on the other communist rebels in Myanmar. So this proposal shouldn't proclude people from writing a new article that does cover the borader scope if they wish to. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 15:08, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
