Talk:State Peace and Development Council

Bias, Loaded Terms, Broken Link, Inappropriate Writing Style

Please revise the Human Rights Abuse subsection for perceived bias, weasel/peacock words, and inappropriate writing style.

Examples: "...a gruesome litany..." (Removed by me -- see page history) "One of the worst incidents in Burma ..." (lacks citation) "The army continues to engage in brutal military offensives... committing atrocities... " "Given the deep antipathy most Burmese feel towards their reclusive and privileged military leadership..." "It has been widely reported that..." "...which was seen by many..."

Additionally, citations to Human Rights Watch were removed because they linked to the website's homepage, and not to a direct source.CessationLeakingThrough (talk) 06:01, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Merger of SLORC into this article

Merging the pages is Ok with me - it wont change the fact that both SLORC and the SPDC are a bunch of butchers responsible for some of the bloodiest war crimes and human rights abuses that have ever been recorded.

Rather than merge, should put cross-link two topic.

• merge, same thing. Aaronbrick 06:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• Merge --Giovanni 15:08, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Impossible to merge, because it may have the same policy and manupulation, however it has different power-sharing system and there were reshuffle from SLORC to SPDC

• Unmerge--Kwantonge 22:48, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
• Merge Superzohar Talk 19:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Removal of Heads...

Is it really necessary to have the heads of state pre-1988 in this article? WookMuff 00:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

No, it isn't. I removed them. Str1977 ^(talk) 08:18, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Clean up

This article is a mess, with all kinds of tags and notices, and it doesn't anyone has worked on it since 2008, so I'm going to clean it up. If anyone one objects to what I have done, let me know. Marshal MacMahon (talk) 13:00, 14 July 2010 (UTC) Sock of banned user

Chairman

Gen. Myint Aung was just promoted as Chief of Army. There is no evidence yet for Myint Aung as Chairman of SPDC. Because Chairman of SPDC means head of country. Currently, Than Shwe just resigned form Military position and still holding head position. Everything's gonna B OK (talk) 12:51, 29 August 2010 (UTC) I remove Gen. Myint Aung for SPDC Chairman List according to Myanmar government Newspaper. http://www.myanmar.com/newspaper/nlm/index.html Find out (2 Sep 2010) page. Everything's gonna B OK (talk) 09:54, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

From SPDC to Supreme State Council

Apparently the SPDC has been disbanded, and a new "Supreme State Council" will be set up, headed by Than Shwe and Maung Aye. According to these sources, anyway. [1] [2]. --Tærkast (Communicate) 20:06, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Merge this page and Burmese Way to Socialism

I understand these are two different periods (more or less) in Myanmar's history, but they both encompass the country under military rule so wouldn't it be better to merge this page and the Burmese Way to Socialism page into one article? ProjectHorizons (talk) 22:39, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

No evidence about a "parliamentary system"

I think Myanmar from 1988 to 2011 was never a parliamentary republic, but more of a provisional government since the junta abolished the 1974 constitution. There was no constitution until 2008. 115.84.96.31 (talk) 03:25, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Title suggestion

This page is about both SLORC & SPDC but the title is only SPDC??? I would like to change Myanmar (1988–2011) or Burma/Myanmar (1988–2011). What do you guys think? Thuta611 (talk) 10:13, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
