  • This will not be a full review but DYK hooks need to be factual. If we run with this hook, we need to do something like ALT1: that according to legend, after obtaining the philosopher's stone, the monk Shin Iza Gawna caused gold and silver to rain down in Pagan, bringing great wealth to his followers?

agreed! Thanks for new hook but full review needed. Hteiktinhein (talk) 20:36, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Wait, please... I have an image of the monk's statue, and I’m trying to find it in my iCloud. I will upload it to Wiki Commons soon. Thanks! Hteiktinhein (talk) 21:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
Photo added. It's good time to full review. Hteiktinhein (talk) 16:00, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: New enough and long enough. AGF on hook fact locked behind Snippet View and written in Burmese; also AGF on paraphrasing. Image should not be used, unless we can ascertain that the statue is public domain. Per commons:COM:FOP Myanmar, there is no FOP in Myanmar; consequently, although the image may have been freely licensed in good faith, the statue may preclude it from being true.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:30, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

I changed the PD Myanmar license since the stone statue was installed in 1966, which is over 50 years ago. This allows us to use the picture under the PD Myanmar license. Thanks. Hteiktinhein (talk) 06:33, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Hi Hteiktinhein. We'll also need a US FOP template, because technically the statue is still under copyright in the United States due to the URAA.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:16, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
Done, however, i'm ok promote without image. Thanks Hteiktinhein (talk) 19:52, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Alright, good to go. I am still uncomfortable with the image on the MP, just given the interaction between US and Myanmar/Burmese copyright laws.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:55, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Hteiktinhein and Crisco 1492: Source 2 is an opinion piece, source 5 looks like a webpage with no editorial control, and source 6 is a YouTube video. Are we sure these are reliable? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 02:08, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

  • I had AGFed on the foreign-language sources, but looking closer... Source 2 reads like a travelogue, so yeah, it might be good for oral history (a big part of SE Asian culture) but I'm not seeing what exactly it's supporting (and it would have to be attributed properly) and should be better supported. I'm not able to access Source 5. Source 6 is by Ashin Aggadhamma, an abbott who did his PhD on Buddhism in Burma, so I think he meets the reliability guidelines for WP:SELFPUBLISHED. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:18, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
