I am genuinely thankful for this because this could be an accurate map. Lukt64 (talk) 19:46, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Review

Holy moly, this map. It's, uh, busy, to put it mildly. I'm not sure where to begin. This map seems to fall into the same trappings that got the previous one deleted.

Are there any credible sources saying that much of Sagaing or Tanintharyi regions are contested? Hell, are there any credible sources saying that major cities like Lashio, Sagaing, or Myitkyina are contested? Last I checked, the military firmly controls all major cities except perhaps Loikaw. At best, these rebel groups control the rural areas and a handful of small towns on the frontiers. That ought to be shown with the rural presence icon available in the legend.

Occasional sabotage operations or raids by PDFs do not automatically mean settlements are contested. Sources should have a reputation of accurate reporting to document this.

This brings me to another issue. With so many rebel groups active, I'd argue they should be placed under a broad umbrella of those opposed to the military (red vs green). This current setup is an eyesore.

This map will need to be reviewed by other users, possibly a deletion discussion. 134.41.87.11 (talk) 18:41, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Confusion between Arakan Army and Arakan Liberation Army

The map shows cities in Rakhine State, some of which are dark green. The map legend says that dark green marks the Arakan Liberation Party, but this organization has almost no territory under its control. Armed wing of Arakan Liberation Party is the Arakan Liberation Army which is just 300-500 soldiers in size. They have no capacity to control such territory as is displayed on the map. This territory is actually controlled by the United League of Arakan and its armed wing: Arakan Army, which has 30,000+ soldiers (self-claimed in December 2021). Arakan Army is member of Three Brotherhood Alliance which leads Operation 1027 and Arakan Liberation Army is acutally opponent of Arakan Army. Sultán Sahak (talk) 09:32, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
