Kuomintang in Burma

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that the Kuomintang in Burma were remnants of the Chinese Nationalist army that fled to Burma following the Chinese Civil War?

• ALT1:... that the Kuomintang in Burma were also known as the "lost army"?

Created by ZGantz (talk). Nominated by Clpo13 (talk) at 00:00, 24 November 2015 (UTC).

• for ALT1. Length, date and hook (ALT1) checks out. No close paraphrase found. Nominator has less than 5 DYK, thus no QPQ needed. --Soman (talk) 11:15, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

• Pulled from prep primarily due to insufficient referencing—the last three paragraphs are completely uncited, including one that begins "According to Mary Callahan (2003)," despite the fact that there are no article references with her name. There are also long paragraphs with a citation after the first sentence but nothing for the bulk of the material presented. Please see WP:DYKSG#D2 for the sourcing rule of thumb for DYK. I have also struck the original hook, since it was not approved. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:23, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Pinging article creator ZGantz to take a look. clpo13_(talk) 05:48, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

• Clpo13, unfortunately ZGantz has not edited the article, or on Wikipedia at all for that matter, since December 8, over four weeks ago. Under the circumstances, I think we can allow a few more days only before the nomination will have to close, unless someone else does the necessary work. Thanks for the nomination.

• Marking nomination for closure due to insufficient referencing, and no one able to supply the needed inline sourcing. Creator has not edited Wikipedia in over a month. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:55, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
