Sam Lek of Donwun

[edit]
  • ... that Viceroy-General Sam Lek of Hanthawaddy retook Donwun with just 300 troops by employing the same ruse used by rebel forces to seize the town a year earlier? Source: (Pan Hla 2005: 57, 61)
    • ALT1:... that Viceroy-General Sam Lek of Donwun was defeated by the forces of King Razadarit of Hanthawaddy after the viceroy was betrayed by his thwethauk brother? Source: (Pan Hla 2005: 172–173), (Fernquest 2006: 7); (Harvey 1925: 178) on the definition of thwethauk brother.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Article was new enough when nominated (6 days), is long enough (~5000 characters), and is thoroughly sourced, though largely to offline sources. The tone is appropriately neutral and encyclopedic. I don't see any issues with plagiarism, though I can't assess the offline sources. The first hook is interesting, assuming good faith on offline sources; ALT1 is supported by an online source but is less interesting. QPQ is done. This article is approved for DYK, with preference for the first hook. Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 16:51, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
