The article is quite out of date. Lots of sentences are still reflecting the shock of the initial move, and don't properly describe the crazed building work of the last year or two. Somebody needs to read all the recent articles, and photos and so on about Naypyidaw (I'm adding them to the external links) and then update the text of the whole article. Francis Irving 09:22, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Naypyidaw is defined by Military government which robbed the People State Power since 1962 coup. Military government is exactly same as dictatorship. Now, rumor said, top military junta is happy with his closed disciples who serve him like a king. Therefore, Burmese military government members is dragging the country to 200 year back 4th Burmese kingdom. It is totally not acceptable behalf of democratic Burmese or Multi party supporters including Aung San Suu Kyi supporters. Finally, Myanmar new capital should be Pyinmana instead of Naypyidaw. We do not want to be influenced by Kingdom term.
This link doesn't work and I can't find another. Quite an important thing to verify really, if anyone knows of one that would be great. If not I'll search more when I have time. Iancaddy 01:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Why do Burmese news broadcasts almost exclusively refer to the site of the new capital as "Pyinmana-Kyetpyei" (the two towns adjacent to the relocation site), rather than Pyinmana? ( [1]) Hintha 07:45, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
“Kyetpyei” is a village to the west of Pyinmana where government ministries have now moved to.
You report "superior invaders (in this case, the USA) would be defeated if Myanmar was invaded again". Is there some reason to expect such an invasion? Fconaway 23:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
I think we should not merge the two articles, because they are different cities. Maybe perhaps someone should just edit out repeated information. Hintha 20:20, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Merging the two wouldn't be suitable. Though many people think that they are the same city, the truth is they're not. They might be quite close but they're in different locations. Naypyidaw is a new city built near Pyinmana.
I dont know how to call Nay Pyi Daw Or Pyin Ma Ngar, but now in myanmar country capital city is a pyin ma ngar (Nay Pyi Daw). Its call a capitical city. Do u know they changed name : kyatpyae" is thapyaegone'
Hi mates, the coordinates seem to be the ones of Yangon / Rangoon to me ...
Just look at the map of Mandalay Region and you know how wrong the marked spot is positioned. Thanks for soon correction. Horst Emscher ( talk) 08:22, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
The piece states that the location is, "some 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of Pyinmana..." Why "some"? If we know that it is three kilometers away from Pyinmana then this information should be stated. If it is more or less, then that distance should be stated. When presenting a distance as short as three kilometers it isn't very useful to write in terms of "some." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.183.249.50 ( talk) 01:30, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
As I have checked out with Korean Correspondent living in Myanmar, the two cities are complete seperate entity. The chracteristics of Pyinmana and Naypyidaw is same as Minneapolis and St.Paul in the USA
User:Francis Irving has recommended using [2] to incorporate further information to the Naypyidaw article. If any editors would like to, feel free to do so and cite the source. Thanks. Hintha 03:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
This is now officially a capital so we should try to bring this up to the same quality as Rangoon. Felixboy 16:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
So how is it pronounced? -- さくら木 15:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Is there an "y" sound pronounced after the initial "ne" or not? You say it rhymes with say, but the IPA transcription does not show a "y".
Hasn't any reliable source even printed an estimate? 86.132.141.221 00:33, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
All, please let me remind you of WP:NPOV and unbiasness when writing articles. Please refrain from using yellow press, gossip style speculative writings in the article. It doesnt help anybody. This is Wikipedia, not PR website for NCGUB or NLD. Please have some respect for your country. Okkar 04:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
The BBC website [3] says Naypyidaw is about 460 km (300 miles) north of Yangon. Is this reliable enough to change it, as the journalist has actually visited the city? Maninukca 06:30, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
This phrasing is a bit odd - felt by who? Seems like either direct Myanmar government propoganda or a restating of it. A government engaged in ethnic cleansing is hardly likely to be interested in 'stability' except as a covering excuse for its actions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.68.154 ( talk) 11:57, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
File:Nptintl.jpg looks like a CGI simulation of the new airport, not an actual picture? If so, the self-made copyright claim seems improbable, and the caption is wrong. -- Beland ( talk) 09:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Naypyidaw →
Nay Pyi Taw – The official and now common spelling for the capital. This can be verified by:
-- Cpt.a.haddock ( talk) 15:54, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
Important Note - In checking the news sources given in this move request posting, all of them currently use Naypyidaw as well as Nay Pyi Taw. The BBC and also here, the Indian Express, the Xinhua and even the Myanmar Times. Just an FYI but it brings into question the fairness and objectiveness of the rm creator. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 18:38, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
Comment - Numbers are funny things. Comparing the totals given in the RM premiss, all google search gives Naypyidaw 468,000 and Nay Pyi Taw 450,000. Pretty close in all real world usage. The
BBC also uses Naypyidaw so that argument is useless. Heck, so does
Indian Express,
Xinhua and even
Myanmar Times. So throw out the whole blurb about why it should change. The US State Dept often uses
a different version, Naypyitaw but
also uses Naypyidaw.
The Guardian uses Naypyidaw as does the
Daily Beast. The
New York Times uses Naypyidaw as does
Radio Free Asia. There are heaps of examples such as these for Naypyidaw and I'm sure heaps of examples for Nay Pyi Taw, the point being that the original RM creator's premiss that Nay Pyi Taw is the common name is in serious question.

Hi, I have just tried to edit the repetitions on the opening date and reasons for the new capital. Especially the mention of this having been a "vanity project", citing The Guardian, seems to me unsubstantiated. (The original quote from The Guardian reads: "The city’s origins are clouded in rumour and speculation. Some describe it as a vanity project of Than Shwe, the former military leader of the country.") - Hope this meets consensus and makes it possible to delete the mention of weasel words, as so far, I don't see any other examples in the text. Munfarid1 ( talk) 12:24, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Munfarid1
It's never quite made clear on any article concerning Naypyidaw the difference between the Naypyidaw Development Committee and Naypyidaw Council are in terms of their competencies. One can assume the NDC is more local and the Council is the state-level. But other than guessing that, what's the difference in what they do? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 06:55, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
Since the construction of the new capital was begun in 2002 and completed enough to hold a parade there in 2006, it doesn't make sense to suggest that the cyclone in 2008 was a reason for moving. The use of "could" in that sentence is another example of the weasel words mentioned above. And the ref cited doesn't support the climate claim, either. So I deleted that sentence.
