Talk:Ne Win

message: Sorry if I don't know how to properly edit talk pages. Can some user with more "powers" than me edit the date of the demonetisation of the kyat and introduction of 45/90 kyat notes to 1987? (the page incorrectly reports the date as 1988; but even the source agrees on the date I stated)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreabrt (talk • contribs) 14:08, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Demonetisation date wrong

message: Ne Win suddenly resigned because 8 was his lucky number (August 8 1988=8/8/88). 
Why does one resign because 8 is his lucky number?! I can't believe this is all...Pascal 23:27, 20 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: The date of the resignation has been revised to 23 July 1988 by User:161.142.87.2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ne_Win&diff=prev&oldid=18955095).  It's no longer 1988-8-8. -- PFHLai 03:52, 2005 August 7 (UTC)

This is Ne Win we are talking about though...

I have a complete article on Ne Win that I never managed to get published. Now that doesn't matter, because I discovered Wikipedia. But how do I link my article too? Or do I merge it or something? Philologus 17:15, Apr 2, 2004 (UTC)
Feel free to edit any NPOV knowledge you have into the article...

thread_title: His Resignation

message: On this page, it says the British assasinanted Aung San. On another page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aung_San, it says it was a rival. Who was it???
There is debate about this and many conspiracy theories. Most agree it was his rival though there are suspicious circumstances suggesting other involvement. The opinion of an individual reflects their ideological stance on Burma.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.205.231.30 (talk) 04:12, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assassination 

message: Ne Win's resignation: It's not true that 8, or 8.8.88, or any other combination of 8, was Ne Win's lucky number. His lucky number was 9 - hence all those strange currency notes that added up to nine (45 kyat note, 90 kyat note...). It would be quite plausible for him to resign because of the date, but in this case, no.
Now let's see if I can add a signature...

thread_title: Comparison to Stroessner

message: Although some members of his family were detained, he was never put under house arrest. Source: The New Light of Myanmar 10/3/2002 Press Conference by Maj-Gen Kyaw Win, the then deputy Chief of Intelligence. Confirmed by U Myint Swe, present Chief Minister of Yangon Region (who was Commander of Yangon Military Command at Ne Win's death in 2002) in August 2013 in response to a question during the Annual Meeting of National Fisheries Association.

replies: text: Not done for now: I've looked into this, but I don't feel safe removing this yet. The paragraph about it in the Military coup of 1988 section is uncited and could be removed or tagged, but the Death section says that he died while under house arrest, and this is cited to this article from the Chinese People's Daily Online. This may be a more reliable source than the New Light of Myanmar, though I cannot be sure. Are the statements you mention available online, and can you provide a link, please? Or do you know of any other sources? --Stfg (talk) 14:18, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Hallo.
The Burmese name here is written with an encoding problem, and it's definitely wrong. (It's actually possible that it's correct if the name is shown in the Burmese government encoding standard, but Wikipedia uses Unicode throughout.)
The title of the article in the Burmese Wikipedia is "နေဝင်း၊ ဦး". I do not know Burmese, but I'm pretty sure that it's more than just "New Win". "နေဝင်း" is probably "Ne Win", but since I don't really know the language, I am not sure.
I tried looking at other Wikipedias and found a tragic, but non-surprising thing: most of them copied the name with the broken encoding, probably from this page here in English. Only the German Wikipedia has something different, and it may be correct, but as I said, I am not sure.
Can anyone who knows Burmese please fix this?
Thank you! --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 15:35, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

message: At first,I thought Ne Win was a chinese.But My friend says he's not chinese.This artivle says he contanis chinese blood.
We should test his bone,I think.But I'm not sure whether he was buried or his dead body was burned.
:The article says his body was burned, but maybe there is some biological material left, and also - there are relatives. --YOMAL SIDOROFF-BIARMSKII (talk) 06:44, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ne Win's Blood line 

message: We're not talking about leadership skills. We're talking about Ne Win and Pol Pot both being leaders of states, and also talking about the fact, that only a microscopic percentage of revolutionaries end up becoming leaders of states. I propose "revolutionary leader". --YOMAL SIDOROFF-BIARMSKII (talk) 17:12, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Leader/revolutionary 

message: Ne Win's name is in modern Unicode Burmese now but his childhood name Shu Maung is still broken. I don't know the language, but the Burmese language page has ရှုမောင် and that isn't obviously wrong. Could someone fix this? 2001:18E8:2:28BB:D16F:EF2A:1DE9:328F (talk) 15:58, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
