DYK for Tayaw kinpun

On 17 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tayaw kinpun, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Template:Did you know nominations/Sao Sanda

I don't know who to alert about this, but there's an error in the DYK hook. It says that she is "one of the two only living princesses to have attended the 1974 Panglong Conference", but the Panglong Conference was in 1947, not 1974. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:18, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Metropolitan90 my apology ... My mistake. Thanks Taung Tan (talk) 07:23, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Talabaw

I promoted Talabaw to Template:Did you know/Preparation area 3, but the look was over the 200 character limit so I had to shorten it. SL93 (talk) 21:05, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SL93, Thanks for your kind support. The facts of the current hook is not very interesting. What about this extra * ... that the soup Talabaw (pictured) mainly consists of fermented bamboo shoots, is the national dish of the Karen people in Myanmar, where it is used as a rice complement? . (only 187 characters) Taung Tan (talk) 05:17, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done. SL93 (talk) 14:33, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks SL93, You are so kind. Taung Tan (talk) 15:07, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Precious

Myanmar

Thank you for quality articles around Myanmar with a focus on its activists in resistance such as Honey Nway Oo, for Shaw Loo, Myat Phaya Gyi and Talabaw, based on living there, for "starting today, I'll be smart editor", - user named after a beautiful mountain, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2830 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:27, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my goddness, Thank you very much for your kind award, @Gerda Arendt:. I wasn't expecting it. What a surprise that you remembered my quote: "starting today, I'll be smart editor" at [3]. I consider my recent contributions to Wikipedia a positive beginning towards making a difference. Previously, I found it challenging to communicate effectively with other editors on the platform. However, I am delighted to have the opportunity to create articles about topics related to my country. I aim to continue this work and contribute more in the future. Best regards.

Yamla (talk) 16:15, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Explain

Yamla, My account was blocked for using multiple accounts, and I understand that my case is complex and difficult to explain. To clarify, Vocal is a friend I know from Facebook who lives in another country, and he occasionally shares his account with me. As a mentor to Vocal, I have occasionally used his account to provide guidance and support. (I am a mentor for numerous Burmese Wikipedians and others who are interested in Wikipedia, and I teach them how to write articles for Wikipedia on my Facebook page. I am famous in my country for my teaching Wikipedia and creating articles about the Burmese revolutionaries during the dark period, and you can verify this by asking other respected Burmese Wikipedia editors.)

To clarify, I invite you to compare our edit histories through CU or the User Compare Report [4]. It will be evident that our origins are not the same, and our contributions are only related to some AfD discussions and not our respective articles. Additionally, as a Check user, you may compare our devices and locations to verify that we are distinct.

Upon closer examination, you will notice that our locations and devices are significantly different. Additionally, as a user from Myanmar, I was unable to access Wikipedia during the country's coup d'état on February 1, 2021, due to a nationwide internet shutdown. The Myanmar military government has blocked all language editions of the Wikipedia online encyclopedia, part of a widening post-coup internet censorship regime imposed by the military junta. (https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2021/feb/21/myanmar-blocks-wikipedia-in-all-languages-netblocks-2266920.html). During the time of the internet shutdown, I requested Vocal's help to edit Myanmar coup-related articles via Telegram when I had the opportunity to use the internet for a very brief period. Vocal made an edit on February 1 on a military-related topic, specifically about the coup leader Min Aung Hlaing. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Min_Aung_Hlaing&diff=prev&oldid=1004147888). As you can see, Vocal was able to make edits on Wikipedia while I was unable to do so due to the internet shutdown in Myanmar. I was only able to come online on February 4 with the help of a VPN, and I was granted an IP block exemption in order to be able to edit on Wikipedia using the VPN. (My first edit on Wikipedia after the coup, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aung_Pyae_Sone&oldid=1004822235). I still have the IP block exemption, but since I left my country in 2022, I am now able to edit without using a VPN. Please check my profile and activities during the coup (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Taung_Tan&oldid=1127830114).

To clarify, I was active on Wikipedia before Vocal's block in March 2021. Therefore, it is evident that I am not attempting to evade Vocal's block, and our contributions and interests are separate and distinct from each other. While I am working on improving Wikipedia articles related to my country, Vocal is working on topics that interest him and his country. Following Vocal's block on Wikipedia, I continued to remain active on the Myanmar project. Presently, I'm the leading editor for the Wikipedia Myanmar project after leaving my country. Meanwhile, Vocal focuses on topics related to Chinese mythology and India, which are not my areas of interest. Vocal reached out to me for help in getting his account unblocked after his appeal was rejected by an admin. Unfortunately, I wasn't available to assist him at the time. However, I now have some free time and am taking a closer look at his account block. I logged into his account and drafted an appeal on his behalf.

Regrettably, I forgot to log out of my Taung Tan account and carelessly made some grammar changes on Vocal's account, which led to my own account being blocked. While I acknowledge that I am associated with Vocal, I am not the same person as him. Additionally, it's worth noting that Vocal and I have different genders [5]. I would appreciate it if you could spend more time examining and contrasting our respective contributions to gain a clearer understanding of this situation. Taung Tan (talk) 18:22, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sharing accounts is strictly prohibited here. I'm afraid you've violated WP:MEAT, violated the community's trust and I will not be unblocking you. Indeed, your account may now be considered compromised (WP:COMPROMISED) as you have shared it with someone else. You don't have to accept my decision, though. This is why the unblock process exists. See WP:GAB. --Yamla (talk) 19:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I want to clarify that I was not aware that sharing accounts violates Wikipedia's policy on Meatpuppetry (WP:MEAT). In this case, Vocal shared his account with me to address an issue, and I did not ask to share his account. It is important to note that I did not agree with all of Vocal's contributions, and I have even opposed his opinions in certain AfDs. I feel extremely disappointed with this situation. It seems unfair that I am being blocked when it was Vocal who shared his account with me. I am a leading active user for my country's Wikipedia project, and I need to continue my contributions. He worked for his country, and I work for Myanmar. In my opinion, the block should be applied to Vocal, not me. I would like to "Super CU request" for my justice. You can see my good works on my Talk pages. Taung Tan (talk) 19:16, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
