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 Kingdom of Mrauk U'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 "auto":

• From Rohingya people: "The most persecuted people on Earth?". The Economist. 13 June 2015. Retrieved 15 June 2015.
• From Permanent Settlement: "Cornwallis Code". Encyclopedia Britannica. 4 February 2009. Retrieved 24 February 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⚡ 00:08, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So which is it: Mrauk U or Mrauk-U? Lennart97 (talk) 21:25, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lennart97, the answer is "yes". It might be hard for Western folks to believe, but we didn't use the Latin script in Asia until those Europeans started occupying and colonising our lands, so you'll forgive us if there are a few wrinkles in trying to fit the square peg of names in our native languages into the circular hole of English orthography! I fail to see how there could be a single correct answer to your question over which separator is more appropriate. M Imtiaz (talk · contribs) 21:31, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So sorry! Totally absurd, of course, for me to think that there could be any value at all in using one or the other consistently throughout the article instead of using both at random. Lennart97 (talk) 22:55, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to ask the same question when I came across this topic. I know near nothing about this subject, but am willing to help with consistency edits if any of the more knowledgeable editors can advise on which version should be used?

@Imwin567 Hey there, I saw you were making a map. I can likely make a more detailed map using the svg tools from wikipedia but just wanted to start a dicussion here with you. The mapchart unfortunately won't let you go beyond the existing modern-day division borders. But the peak of the kingdom would stretch southwards towards Bago as well. See Min Razagyi for that period of time, also on the content for this page. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 15:18, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you can create a more detailed map, I’d really appreciate it!

Also, when I mentioned the mid-15th century, I was referring to King Min Bin's reign, not Min Razagyi's. But I'm confused was the kingdom at its peak during Min Bin's time or Min Razagyi's?

I'm also unsure about Tripura. There are many mentions of it being taken over by Razagyi. I also see Min bin had an initial military success against tripura. And of course, as you mentioned, i assume some southern part of Bago as well since lower burma was under toungoo. I assume the same applies to Tripura, not the whole region, but only some parts of it. Unfortunately, I'm unable to create a detailed map showing parts of tripura or bago. Imwin567 (talk) 15:53, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The golden age IIRC from sources I read lasted from Min Bin to Razagyi, but the peak territorial gain would be under Razagyi's conquest of Bago. A Min-Bin centric map would be fine too to represent Mrauk U under it's golden age rather than as "under the peak". I think Tripura was vassalised by one of the sultans before Razagyi but after Min Bin. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 16:11, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand now! Since you're an experienced and long time contributor on wikipedia, it'll handle it upto you to change or keep the map! Imwin567 (talk) 16:19, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've made it and updated the page and want to welcome any changes, suggestions, criticism etc. If there are concerns about sourcing I can elaborate here both for you and any other editor/viewer's benefits. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 19:57, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

'It was home to a multiethnic population, with the Buddhists making up the majority and the city of Mrauk U being home to mosques, temples, shrines, seminaries and libraries.

If the majority was Buddhist and the kingdom was officially Buddhist, why are mosques and not temples or shrines mentioned first? Were there more mosques than temples or shrines in spite of the demographic and official dominance of Buddhism? Or is the mention of mosques first an expression of Muslim POV and the attitude that mosques are more valuable? ~2025-31121-91 (talk) 08:45, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
