Unverifiable claims

Please provide evidence relating to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, specifically what variables need to be entered to verify the claims? For example, I selected all transactions from France to Myanmar (as well as including transactions to "MTA (Myanmar)") from 1950 to 2019, and the following transactions were listed

1 DC-3/C-47 Skytrain Transport aircraft
3 SA-316B Alouette-3 Light helicopter
11 SA-316B Alouette-3 Light helicopter
8 16PA4 Diesel engine

Since the entry for says Modernized by Israel I took the precaution of searching for items supplied by Israel. They are

29 Spitfire Fighter aircraft
(4) Compact 76mm Naval gun
(16) M-68/M-71 155mm Towed gun
1 Compact 76mm Naval gun
(12) EE-9 Cascavel Armoured car
6 Super Dvora Patrol craft

Since there is no mention of 10 Panhard M3 Armoured personnel carriers being supplied, I require an explanation for this edit by @Thar thar lay(military observer): which claims it's referenced by SIPRI. FDW777 (talk) 11:07, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

10 Panhard M3 were not directly received from France.It was supplied by a third party country,Israel.Till 2018,the numbers and received date of Panhard M-3 was included in the arms trade report of Stockholme International Pease and Research Institute.But,I don't known why it was removed from the report list.Not only that some weapons were also removed from the list.But if you need verification,I can send the photo of Panhard-M3 armoured vehicles of Myanmar Army.Please send me your facebook acc name.I'll send to your mailbox.

Published references are needed, not photos sent on Facebook. FDW777 (talk) 11:55, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok,the only thing that I can give to you as a verification for possessing of Pandhard M-3 in Myanmar is the photo uploaded in Wikipedia Commons.Here it is.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Panhard_M-3_of_Myanmar_Army.jpg

I don't have any published reference for verification due to the removal of weapons in the original reference.If you think the photo that I sent to you is not verifiable,you can remove Panhard M-3 from the list.But after you remove that weapon,please remove the unverifiable tag from the article.

If it's not currently verifiable, it should be removed. I'm prepared to be reasonable about this, as if I wished I could simply remove it immediately. But I'm happy to give you time to provide proper, reliable, referencing. FDW777 (talk) 12:40, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Myanmar Army, National Security and Defense Policy Handbook

I have removed this "reference". Even ignoring the fact that, for starters, it apparently doesn't mention the Panhard M3 (the Panhard AML mentioned is elsewhere in the article, and different to the Panhard M3, it's published by Lulu.com therefore self-published and not reliable.

Duplicate article

@Eurohunter: why does this article even exist? There was already an article at List of equipment in the Myanmar Navy. FDW777 (talk) 08:00, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@FDW777: This is list of equipment of land army and list of equipment in the Myanmar Navy is list of equipment of navy. Eurohunter (talk) 09:11, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in List of equipment of the Myanmar Army

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of equipment of the Myanmar Army's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Arty2016":

From M29 mortar: "Future Artillery Systems: 2016 Market Report" (PDF). Tidworth: Defence IQ. 2016. Archived from the original (PDF) on 5 August 2016. Retrieved 21 January 2017. {{cite web}}: |archive-date= / |archive-url= timestamp mismatch; 22 January 2018 suggested (help)
From 130 mm towed field gun M1954 (M-46): "Future Artillery Systems: 2016 Market Report" (PDF). Tidworth: Defence IQ. 2016. Archived from the original (PDF) on 22 January 2018. Retrieved 21 January 2017.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:56, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced claim about radar removed again

Even ignoring that this edit introduces a completely broken reference, I have tracked down the claimed reference. It is here and says Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online, so it is not a proper reference.
