:I see—so the Kokang region is geographically within the same area as Shan State, but politically it's independent of it?

:I'm just trying to get my bearings; I recently started the [[Kokang incident]] article and found that coverage of Burma issues on en-wiki has a lot of big holes, including this one (I had to do a lot of Google searching and reading articles on zh-wiki before I could find out where Kokang is).

::OK, thanks for your remind. If you feel it appropriate, I think Laukkai can be listed under Shan State and Burma at the same time. [[User:Qrfqr|Qrfqr]] ([[User talk:Qrfqr#top|talk]]) 18:59, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

:Yeah that looks great. I didn't find the coordinates of Laukkai, I just found that of Kokang, which is 23°24'54''N - 24°09'24''N, 98°24'14''E - 98°53'42''E. Dunno if you read Chinese, here's an article: [http://chinapressusa.com/big5/zhuanti/2009-08/26/content_240151.htm], and the article mentioned a place named 諸葛炮樓山(Zhugepaoloushan). In google maps, if you input 23.7 N, 98.7 E, you will see a place called 炮樓山(Paoloushan). I suspected that the two places are the same one. If so, you're looking at the map of the area around Kokang.

:No prob. Here's a page [http://www.panoramio.com/photo/19253203] with a photo and coordinates of Laukai/Laukkai. Another page with maps of Kokang in more detail. [http://bbs.huanqiu.com/huanqiubaoliaotai/thread-253520-1-1.html] Some pictures in this one.

=="Kokang ''incident''" vs. "Kokang ''rebellion''"==

 

I think at this stage a more neutral word such as incident would be more proper. [[User:Qrfqr|Qrfqr]] ([[User talk:Qrfqr#top|talk]]) 14:59, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Qrfqr, I forgot to tell you that I had nominated this one. Just accept this as some recognition for all the earthquake articles that you've started, I'm always happy to follow on and expand. [[User:Mikenorton|Mikenorton]] ([[User talk:Mikenorton|talk]]) 08:53, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Hope that your "modern scholarship" is not based on the accounts of Megasthenes, in which there are inconsistencies about writing in India at that time. [[User:Qrfqr|Qrfqr]] ([[User talk:Qrfqr#top|talk]]) 05:02, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
