Assertion of Independence
[edit]While the reorganization and development of state administration is impressive, I was unable to find any indications in any independent source which indicated that Chinland is staking a claim to independence. As such, I believe it to be in the interest of both the neutral point of view (Wikipedia has a responsibility to avoid partisanship in civil conflicts) as well as the criterion of verifiability; absence of a valid source for notions of independence in a manner distinct from such polities as nearby Wa State - which Wikipedia does not refer to as an unrecognized country but rather as an autonomous self-governing polity and a de-facto independent state - requires that Wikipedia not use click-baity language referring to Chinland as an aspiring independent country rather than more neutral and accurate language such as the aforementioned "de-facto state".

- In keeping with this, I am tentatively rewording the introduction to the article so as to avoid the spread of incorrect information until strong evidence can be linked to its demonstrating a claim to full independence. Zchewski (talk) 01:06, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Zchewski: i think the claim to independence is something like "We will remain independent until the Tatmadaw is fully overthrown", something to that line. At least from what i've read, since the main opposition in Myanmar hasn't formed an alternative government. 🤓 WeaponizingArchitecture | scream at me 🤓 00:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
I think ....
is nothing but original research and can not be used to describe the extraordinary claim of independence. Find a valid reliable source or forget it. --T*U (talk) 22:50, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Administrative divisions
[edit]This section is so confusing. Is it a list of townships? It's not even sourced. HappyWith (talk) 21:50, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Likely pre-exisiting townships under Chin State that were inherited. Inheriting previous subdivision borders is pretty common. 🤓 WeaponizingArchitecture | scream at me 🤓 00:20, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Condemnation statement: reliable?
[edit]I can’t find any information that gives info about the source or supports its credibility, and it is on Facebook (a place where people can easily publish misinformation/disinformation online). As such, its trustworthiness and its neutrality aren’t exactly defined, and it should either be removed as a source or all statements from it should be written as accusations rather than statements of facts.
