- theleekycauldron, Onegreatjoke, being interesting is subjective. That said, I do acknowledge that many people might not find the subject matter here (orders of battle) interesting. On top of that, we have to work with the available citable material -- it is what it is. Here's my another attempt; not sure if it's any more interesting. If you have any better suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.
- ALT1: ... that the Ava high command sent in only their central and southern regiments in their 1390–1391 invasion of Hanthawaddy? Source: Chronicle sources: (Maha Yazawin Vol. 1 2006: 301), (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 202), (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 429–430)

- @Hybernator and Theleekycauldron:, how about something focused around discrepancies in army sizes. Something like: ALT2: ... that for their 1390–1391 invasion of Hanthawaddy, the Ava high command probably only mobilized a tenth of the 290,000 soldiers the royal chronicles report they commanded? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:28, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
Condensing and approving:
- ALT3a: ... that the royal chronicles report that the Kingdom of Ava mobilized nearly 300,000 troops for one invasion, but they probably only mobilized around a tenth of that? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 06:26, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Am I misreading or is that slightly grammatically incorrect, theleekycauldron? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:19, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Woops! fixed. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:08, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- @theleekycauldron, AirshipJungleman29, the updated hook (ATL3a) looks good. Is it good to go? Please advise. Hybernator (talk) 22:32, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's good to go, the promoters will pick it up when they want :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:34, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Good article. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:52, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
Unless there's a trick or wordplay I'm missing in the hook, I'm not quite sure how it passes the interestingness requirement? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 03:26, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
