Lead section readability and relevance

The lead section currently has four paragraphs, none of which are short. However, approximately one-third to one-half of the material in those four paragraphs is detailed explanations of relatively distant history.

I propose to modify the lead section in the following way:

1. Keep the current first paragraph as is.

2. Move the current fourth paragraph to be directly after the first one.

3. Transfer the current second paragraph, along with approximately the first half of the current third paragraph, into the History section.

4. ... which leaves the second half of the current third paragraph as the ending of the lead section.


It's not ideal, but I think it would be an improvement. In my opinion, the current amount of detail about old history doesn't belong in the lead section. TooManyFingers (talk) 15:26, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

The history is certainly excessive and should be collapsed into one shorter paragraph, and the lead in general is a bit lengthy. Generally history is the second paragraph, and the last paragraph contains the details on the foreign relations. Perhaps the fourth paragraph can be split rather than being completely shifted.

==

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Myanmar. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Rhoticity of English pronunciation of "Myanmar"/"Burma" ==

The "Etymology" section would benefit from a reference to the article Rhoticity in English

Please change "non-rhotic variety of English" to "non-rhotic variety of English" Troglodv (talk) 22:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
