This page was getting a bit large, so I archived it. Use the link above if you want to refer to it again. Thanks! -- Kraftlos ( talk) 04:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Anyway, I came accross this page on the accuracy dispute list and it caught my eye because I know a Burmese Indian. I looked over the article and while the organization of the page is a bit off, I don't see any glaring errors. What specifically is being disputed? (Note: I can't read Burmese) I'd vote to take the factual accuracy tag off unless someone can challenge something specifically wrong. -- Kraftlos ( talk) 05:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Just look at the following expulsion of NOTABLE or LIST OF BURMESE INDIANS, even from Wikipedia.
I attempted a degree of cleanup on the history section. I tried to retain almost everything that was in the section, but attempted to make it flow better and have a better tone. There were several items related to history that were scattered throughout the article and in some cases I tried to consolidate them. I also removed some things that seemed redundant. 70.234.210.89 ( talk) 04:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Religion Cleanup The sentence "The government doesnot allow to construct religious buildings more than necessary." was removed from the ending of this section as it is vague, not supported by citations or sources and appears to be propaganda as it contradicts the previous statement. An insert was added calling for citations to a statement purporting that the Myanmar government allows minority religious groups to "freely" construct their places of worship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.195.155.116 ( talk) 10:29, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi! I will be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have the full review up shortly. Dana boomer ( talk) 23:08, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
This article has quite a few major issues, and so I am placing it on hold for now. This is not a complete review - I will be waiting for someone to address the above points before I complete a full prose and reference review of the article. I will be watchlisting this page, so if you have any questions, please let me know here. Dana boomer ( talk) 23:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
OK so I have started working on the article.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get these last comments to you. Here are my remaining comments on prose and references, which is all that needs to be done to bring this article to GA status.
Like I said, these are pretty much my final comments on the article. Please let me know your thoughts and replies - feel free to make replies line by line underneath the above comments. Dana boomer ( talk) 01:59, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Are some of the editors simply playing shuffling games? At first my Burmese Indian article is cut off and made into numerous sub articles. The person who done that dividing even never acknowledge about this and my contribution edit history was lost in action. People could think that the person who started the new article had contributed all but almost 100% of that article and others e.g. Indians in Burmese History and Origin of Burmese Indians are my contributions. He had done in good intension but my contribution history is lost in the process. Now want to merger again? Be careful, Burmese Indian is already a good article and you could ruin in the process.

The word "Ku La" is not slang. It is a traditional Burmese word derived from Pali language. For example, centuries ago, "Foreign Minister" was offically called "Ku La Woon" where "Ku La" means "Foreign" and "Woon" means "Minister". Another example is that "United Nations" called "Ku-La-Thet-Mat-Ga(ကုလသမဂ္ဂ)" where "Ku La" means "Foreign or International" and "Thet-Mat-Ga" means "Association". Burmese refer all Indo-aryan people as "Ku La". Indian people are called "Hindu-Ku La", Arab and Bengali people are call "Muslim-Ku La" and Caucasians were called "Ku La Phyu" which means "White Foreigner". Today some scholars, especially Muslims, claim that the word "Ku La" is racist terms but actually not and it is a traditional Burmese word derived form Pali language which is considered as scared language for Burmese. There are hundreds of Burmese words which include "Ku La". I just corrected wrong description that "Ku La" is slang. 203.81.165.145 ( talk) 06:46, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Some of the editors are simply playing the FUNNY shuffling games. Merger again after dividing and the two chapters below are lost in the process. SHAME TO YOU WIKI EDITORS. Just look at this in the article:
History
Both disappeared in the thin air. I hate to contribute to Wiki again because of this kind od silly editings. Darz kkg ( talk) 11:11, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
