Thanks for showing an interest in the article. I noticed that you changed the name of the British ambassador to Burma from Vicky Bowman to Mark Channing. Whilst it is correct that Bowman is leaving the embassy in Rangoon, I believe that Mark Channing will replace her only in July. If that is correct, until then, the position will probably be filled by either Bowman or by a chargé d'affaires. If you could clarify what the situation is until then, or confirm when the transition is finalised, that would be superb. Bastin8 23:58, 20 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Mr Mark Canning has been appointed to be Her Majesty's Ambassador to the Union of Myanmar (Burma) in succession to Ms Vicky Bowman who will be transferring to another Diplomatic Service appointment.

above texts can be found at http://www.fco.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1007029391629 it was made on 16/05/06

and the word 'has been appointed' mean he is already apponinted as an ambassador, so he is the ambassador, there is no two ambassador at the same time .Aung win 04:25, 21 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

It states, "Mr Canning will take up his new appointment in July 2006." I don't know whether his credentials have been accepted, nor do I know the terms of acceptance if they have. However, it is common for credentials to be presented many months after the home government appoints the diplomat, and also common for the conditions of acceptance to stipulate a later date on which the title of 'Ambassador' is conferred (for example, while the diplomat is undergoing language training). Therefore, whilst is it correct that there cannot be two ambassadors at once, that press release does not explain who is the ambassador at the moment. That is why I asked for confirmation from a source other than the FCO. If you have seen another source stating that he is now Ambassador Canning, I'll accept the change. Unless I have confirmation that the new ambassador has taken up the title, it is my usual practice to update the list only when he or she takes up office.
Both the British government and the Court of St James's refuse to recognise the junta's name change.Bastin8 12:06, 21 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

not vandalism

edit
Copied from User talk:Bastin8

although UK dosent reconized burman as myanmar , its offical name is myanmar , and this wikipedia have nutral point of view and , you shouldnt have take my contribution as vandalism.

use your common sence, Myanmar is Myanmar, Burma is only named after the sound of Myanmar by the british long time ago upon the colonizing of Myanmar, you can read that clearly here at Myanmar

i dont care wheather the british reconized burman as myanmar, and this is on wikipedia and , it should be viewed as netural point of view as it is the offical policy of wikipedia.

and clearly wikipedia is not the offical webpage of british goverment, myanmar shoild be written as myanmar —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aung win (talkcontribs) 21:21, 6 July, 2006 (UTC).

It's not the official webpage of the British government, but the article in question is a list of positions within the British Diplomatic Service. Since 'Ambassador to Myanmar' isn't a diplomatic posting, but 'Ambassador to Burma'(or, more strictly, Ambassador and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Union of Burma) is, it's listed under 'Burma'. See the talk page. If you change it back, despite this second explanation, it can only be considered vandalism. Bastin 21:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Controversial statement regarding Sao Pan Thee

edit

Hello. Thanks for adding the Sai Sai Kham Hlaing article to Wikipedia. It has come to my attention that you have added a controversial statement regarding Sao Pan Thee, who was identified as a hoax recently. If you can add a citation to support the statement (see Wikipedia:Citing sources), please do so. And, do not remove the fact template until you or someone else has done so, because that is considered vandalism. Hintha 05:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Sai phone htoo

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Sai phone htoo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File permission problem with File:Aung win

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Aung win. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 203.81.67.181 (talk) 17:48, 22 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
