Orphaned references in Kingdom of Mrauk U[edit]

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]

Name[edit]

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?
