I'm not sure which one you are referring to, can you elaborate? Is it the paragraph you removed? If so, I have re-added it within a better context and sourced properly this time. It was out of place I admit. Mmis325 (talk) 12:48, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for forgetting about this review but yes if has been fixed. I won't forget it in the future. Sangsangaplaz (Talk to me! I'm willing to help) 09:22, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

-Upa paragraph

This is difficult to do. I'm not sure how to improve readability without compromising the information. I could split the paragraphs for clarity, but is the problem it is too wordy? Do other paragraphs have that issue? Maybe put some into an endnote? The issue being that it is wordy for a paragraph but too small for a seperate page too. If you have suggestions I'm open to it. But I'm too unsure and probably biased. Mmis325 (talk) 10:23, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Precolonial Chieftainship

The first paragraph of this chapter in the main article looks misplaced. Shouldn't it be in the Mizo Chiefdom in modern history?

Combining paragraphs

Could

"In the administration, the chief would cooperate with various individuals to achieve his duties. Among the most important of these individuals were the chief's elders, also known as Lal upate or upa. The chief could choose who to appoint to this position and how many individuals could fit this capacity. The elders did not possess the ability to question decisions or criticise the chief and typically held meetings at the Chief's house while drinking buhzu (rice beer). An Upa who became favoured by the chief for their conduct would be granted permission to set up a hamlet near the village known as a khawper. Upa who are given headmen positions act as lesser chiefs known as Belrawh mualkil and if they're granted privileges like sachhiah (meat tax), they are known as sangal khawnghrang. The most important Upa is known as Upamin and is perceived as the chief's deputy . The brothers of the chief would also enjoy prestige by association if they did not rule any village. They were exempted from paying the rice paddy tax known as fathang. They would be given the first choice on choosing plots for jhumming and cultivation."
