Thinkhaya III of Toungoo

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

• ... that Gov. Thinkhaya III of Toungoo declared independence from Ava but did not proclaim the regal white umbrella befitting Burmese sovereigns?

• ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link], or briefly cite, the source)

• "did not proclaim the regal white umbrella" -- how do you proclaim an umbrella? EEng 03:50, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

• Corrected hook based on article:
• ALT1: ... that governor Thinkhaya III of Toungoo declared independence from Ava but refused to install the white umbrella–a key part of the regalia of Burmese sovereigns–in his palace? Yoninah (talk) 20:16, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

• Another idea:
• ALT2: ... that after breaking from Ava, Thinkhaya III of Toungoo built his own palace–but left out the regal white umbrella? Yoninah (talk) 20:21, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

• I meant "did not claim the regal white umbrella". Anyway, I prefer ALT2 by Yoninah. Thanks! Hybernator (talk) 18:28, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

*The article is new and large enough. It is cited and neutral. Hooks ALT2 is in the article. It has an inline citation to an offline unconfirmable (by me) source. I am not actually able to confirm this is not a hoax. Copyvio check finds nothing at all. QPQ performed. AGF good to go. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:46, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
