Neutral point of view[edit]

Nobody could accuse this article of adopting a neutral tone. It badly needs to be cleaned up. --Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival, The 20:51, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've made an attempt to clean up the editing and restore a neutral tone. The article remains poorly sourced.SimonBillenness (talk) 21:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking back at the history of this article, I suspect that "Dudley winter" is Zarni himself under a sock-puppet account.SimonBillenness (talk) 21:37, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blog reference[edit]

There is a wide speculation that the PHD degree he holds is supposedly not genuine. Added to the source. It may not be removed until a reliable source is found and quoted. @=={Lionslayer>^☎ 08:02, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. Blogspot cannot be used as a source for this claim because it is a self-publication. You can claim "it may not be removed until a reliable source is found and quoted," but the actual burden is on you, as the proponent of adding this information, to show a reliable source for claiming anyone holds a fake PhD. On the other hand, you may challenge anything that is unsourced by tagging and/or removal of the unsourced claims. Happy editing. JFHJr (㊟) 22:41, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfair insertions of "Citation needed" Adding "Citation needed" in each of the facts shows some animosity on him. For example, I personally know that he studied in St. Peter's High School, Mandalay. He even sent to me his photograph at the present awarding ceremony, my brother was together with him and my photograph hanging at the back. And I personally have known and read about his Ph.D. written by his university. Wikipedia is badly infiltrated by the Military regime sympathizers.--Darz kkg (talk) 05:26, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith. The fact of the matter is this is a living person's biography, and its content must be supported by reliable sources. Unfortunately, your knowing it to be true is not a sufficient substitute for those sources; a living person's biography based on original research is just unencyclopedic. Tagging the statements indicates a need for sources on particular claims to demonstrate the significance of details and events in the biography. It's an invitation to find reliable sources, not a show of animosity. Cheers. JFHJr (㊟) 05:50, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
