Doing... Beginning review now and I hope to complete it within 24 hours. Zingarese talk · contribs (please 
mention me on reply; thanks!) 02:56, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello–I am very sorry for the delay. Article is new and long enough, well-sourced, copyvio free, QPQ done. I also think the article is fairly neutral and accurately presents the objective facts and timeline of events. I had to add two {{failed verification}} tags because I did not see those claims in any of the cited sources. If I overlooked something despite my best efforts, please let me know. Vis-a-vis the hooks: since ALT3 failed verification, we cannot use it until that is addressed. ALT1 is my preference, as it demonstrates the impact this had on the community. ALT2 I like too, more emotionally centered, but I wonder to others if it would be less interesting than the community response.

- @Zingarese: It took me nearly five days to get back to this, so no need to apologize. The issues in the article have been fixed. I had referred to the wrong NYT article on the source for ALT3 in the article, but the source for ALT3 I gave in this nomination was correct. Thanks for your thoroughness.

Thank you for clarifying that about ALT3 (and sorry I overlooked that), and for fixing the verification issues in the article. I've checked the article again and deem it good to go. My preference would now be ALT3. Thank you for your fantastic work. Zingarese talk · contribs (please mention me on reply; thanks!) 01:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Feedback from New Page Review process
editI left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Nice work.
Why does the mention of the military junta link to the military due to established in the 2020s, when this boy moved here in the 2010s?
editI’m just not sure what the mentioned activist could be referring to. I believe Myanmar has been under forms of military rule before? Bte3000 (talk) 02:43, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- The Quotes from the cited articles say “Coming from a war-torn country, when you see the military or law enforcement, you run or you die. Our parents come from a war-torn country that has witnessed our villages being burned, children being shot down," Klo said.
- and
- This context, Klo explained, seems to be missing from the conversations surrounding Mway’s decision to flee from the police. “Your parents always say when you see the cops run or hide. Where we grew up, you hide or you run when you see the cops—or you die, right? Or you get deported, or something really bad happens to you.”
- I see nothing to indicate that this specifically means the current SAC. Bte3000 (talk) 02:51, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
