A. Prose is "

copyvios, or spelling and grammar errors:
The prose is clear and concise. Only needed very minor copyediting. AGF on copyvio, as almost all sources are offline. -

Reliable sources cited throughout. I'm reasonably familiar with the subject. Although most sources are offline, the article is factually accurate as far as I can tell. -

Pass or Fail: This is a very well written article on an important historical event that has had major implications on the history and demographics of Southeast Asia. Kudos to
Hybernator for greatly expanding the article and bringing it to GA standard. Thank you for your hard work! -

The troops were sourced mainly from Central Asia. Didn't Mongol Empire really break up only after Kublai Khan's death in 1294? If so, why wouldn't it be the Mongol Empire?
Anglo-Burmese wars aren't viewed as a war between the British Raj and Burma. The
Burma Campaign article lists the British Empire first, and then constituent states.

If you look at the article
division of the Mongol Empire, you will find that the Mongol Empire began to split in 1260 with the
Toluid Civil War. By 1294 it had already broke up into four khanates, but that does not mean the Mongol Empire only broke up after Kublai Khan's death in 1294. There was no unified campaigns involving all khanates after 1260 any more, and while the Yuan emperors held the nominal title of Khagan, they were definitely unable to command the whole empire (this is obviously different from the fact that the British Empire was a unified empire at that time), although they were many Semu troops (mainly from Central Asia) within the Yuan army as you suggested. So for the purpose of this article, it should be mentioned that it was really the Yuan that fought against the Burma, but the first paragraph also mentioned that the Yuan was a division of the Mongol Empire. --
