Overall: The article is new, long enough and neutrally worded. It appears to be plagiarism-free, judging from a couple machine-assisted spotchecks (Earwig can't tell because the sources are all in Burmese). The hook is interesting and the picture is freely licensed, used in the article and clear at a small size. The only issue is the citations, as there are a couple sections with uncited information. Once citations are provided for these paragraphs, I'll be happy to pass this review. Grnrchst (talk) 12:04, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fabulous, great work! Passing now. --Grnrchst (talk) 07:31, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Hteiktinhein and Grnrchst: This needs an end of sentence citation; I attempted to check the next source along, and Google Translate reckons it says 'lemons' rather than 'limes'.--Laun chba ller 12:37, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer:, Thanks for your question. Let me explain. Google Translate often struggles with the Burmese language due to its complexity, so the meanings it gives can be inaccurate. In this case, the source uses the Burmese word သံပရာပင် (you can check by "ctrl-F"), which refers to limes, not lemons. You can verify this by searching that word in the source and then looking it up on Google—it will clearly show that it means limes. See also my:သံပရာ.
