The article "
British rule in Myanmar said the British rule started in 1824. I think the name "Post-independence Burma, 1947–1962" is more exactly than "Democratic Republic".

That's mixing apples and oranges, those are two different issues. Burma was only democratic from 1947 to 1962, it is not now, the name fits.

Burma gained independence in 1948 (4 January 1948)--not 1947. The underlying article's name--Post-independence Burma, 1947-1962--needs to be changed.

Aung San,
U Nu,
U Thant,
Ne Win,
Aung San Suu Kyi-these are just the names of the persons and are not periods of history, so they should not be in the template. I often didn't see any history template that has person's name. Moveover,
8888 Uprising and
Saffron Revolution are also small events and not periods. They also should not in the template.

Those are your opinions. The persons and events you mention are seminal in the history of Burma.

sockpuppetry by 69.234.180.200
If you want to make changes to the template, explain them here, in detail first.

I think
96.229.179.106 is absolutely right:
Aung San,
U Nu,
U Thant,
Ne Win, and
Aung San Suu Kyi should not be in the template because they are just people's names no matter how important they're in Burmese history. In addition, I also feel that now people mostly use the name "Myanmar", instead of "Burma".

Not according to Wikipedia conventions. And it's interesting, the only ones making these changes and "opinions" are all anonymous IPs. You would carry weight if you signed in as a legitimate editor.

User:JacquesNguyen accuses me of vandalism in his edit summaries when I revert his POV pushing. He has never once justified why one system of dating is preferable to the other, and I cannot possibly be the vandal in this, as I created the template. It is he that is changing it without explanation, and I will continue to revert him.

Per
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers), "*Either
CE and
BCE or
AD and
BC can be used—spaced, undotted (without periods) and upper-case. It is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is a substantive reason; the Manual of Style favors neither system over the other." No substantive reason has been offered.

07:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC) On this talk page under his now-removed 3RR block, it states clearly "Also, please familiarize yourself with
WP:VANDALISM. Calling other people's edits vandalism is inappropriate if it is not in fact vandalism."

The last two links in this template (in "Modern era"),
"Union of Myanmar" (1989–2010) and
"Republic of the Union of Myanmar" (2010–present),
both link to the same article ¨[[State Peace and Development Council]. However, this is no longer the present situation, as stated in the article. This section needs some clean up. Unfortunately I am totally unfamiliar with this issue, therefore I am of no help in doing so. It would be awesome if this could be resolved.
