QPQ: Done.

Overall: ~~The article appeared in the news before, and the hook does not seem interesting because these types of killings are common.~~ Considering the reply of the nominator. I feel life ALT2 is more interesting. TheNuggeteer (talk) 00:52, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheNuggeteer: Thank you for the review. Per WP:DYKNEW, I’ve mentioned in the comment that the subject is listed only in RD section of the ITN, not bold link.

Although this type of killing may be common elsewhere, it is a rare case in the highly religious country that a prominent religious figure was shot dead by the ruling junta’s soldiers. Plus, it is very few that the junta apologized publicly; he would never show his weakness in public.

I’d like to nominate another ALTs:

ALT1: ...that Myanmar’s junta Min Aung Hlaing publicly apologized for the firearm death of Shindan Sayadaw, a few days after his spokesman blamed the opposition armed groups for the case?

ALT2: ...that the assassination of Shindan Sayadaw in June 2024 led to a confrontation between the Burmese military and the religious leaders?

Alts to be reviewed, per nom request. Kingsif (talk) 21:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: although TheNuggeteer's comment about ALT2 was made after the ALTs were proposed, the timestamp wasn't updated, so it isn't clear what order things were posted. TheNuggeteer, if you are formally approving ALT2—that is, you've fully checked it and think it's the one that should be promoted—please be more specific below and include a new icon (tick) to supersede the "review again" icon just above my post. Thank you. I have struck the original hook because you said it doesn't seem interesting. As the ITN appearance was in the "Recent deaths" section, the nomination is not disqualified per DYK rules. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:37, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I accept the alts, inlcuding alt 2. TheNuggeteer (talk) 03:50, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2 seems misleading—there was no actual "confrontation" in the article, merely a disagreement over what response was suitable. I also don't find ALT1 that interesting—it's pretty clunky. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:42, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Htanaungg: Please respond to the above. Z1720 (talk) 04:07, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Htanaungg: I will be closing this if this isn't responded to in the next 24 hours.--Laun chba ller 13:51, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: I apologize indeed for my late reply. I have very few time recently for further clarification. It's okay to close this discussion. Sorry again and thank you. Htanaungg (talk) 15:34, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

unclear sentence

in the 'aftermath' section is the sentence: "On 20 June, chief minister of Bago Region came and addressed to founding members of the monastery that they had not known the truth, but the patrons replied that they want an official apology." does this mean something like... "On 20 June, the chief minister of the Bago Region addressed the founding members of the monastery and stated that the ruling junta had been unaware of the actual circumstances, but the monastery officials replied that they wanted an offical apology."

Thank you for your better wording. ^_^ Htanaungg (talk) 03:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
