An impressive article, may as well be a GA candidate. Well done! The are a couple of statements that lack citations, which I've marked in the article. Otherwise looks good. -Zanhe (talk) 04:52, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, User:Zanhe. I've added the necessary citations. Please review again. Thanks. Hybernator (talk) 15:37, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the sources. One more thing (sorry didn't catch it earlier), the word "major" in the hook seems subjective and not sourced in article. It should be removed. -Zanhe (talk) 05:59, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

It was major in that it was the largest to-date invasion by Toungoo. How about ALT1?

Article is long enough, new enough, neutral, and well referenced. ALT1 hook is supported by offline references, accepted AGF. No copyvio detected (most sources are offline). Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 00:42, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
