This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
I can't find any source referring to the alliance of Karenni militant groups under this name. Articles refer to them as "revolutionary forces", but it doesn't appear to be a name for any formal alliance. Only
[1] uses the term once in title case, which doesn't seem enough to extrapolate it as referring to an all-encompassing alliance.

Yeah I think looking into it, I don't see any sources mentioning this as a specific alliance like the
Three Brotherhood Alliance. And searching in Burmese the only thing close is
this source talking about "ကရင်နီပြည် မဟာမိတ်တပ်ဖွဲ့တွေ" (i.e. Allied Karenni forces). I'm gonna assume that there is no such alliance until we get
WP:RS that talk about the alliance.

10 November Aircraft
Both sources state the aircraft crashed Saturday, 11 November. This appears to be the same aircraft mentioned in the 11 November section (aviation-safety.net is using a different name for the same state). The 10 November section should be merged into 11 November.

I think it's a bit confusing currently when there are two operations launched in the Kayah state. I'm wondering if there could be a short section explaining the difference. My understanding is 1107 in the overall operation meant to secure all Kayah, while 1111 is meant to secure specifically Loikaw. I read online one stated goal of 1107 was to support 1027. Correct me if I'm wrong.

To be honest, I initially felt like 1107 and 1111 should be merged, or that 1111 should be a subsection of 1107. But there aren't enough RS to properly make that argument yet. i.e. not sure what the consensus amongst news sources and analysts on the southern operations and what to call them are yet

Hmm, what about renaming both articles? Thus article to something like Kayah state campaign and 1111 to battle of Loikaw and then just deciding to document everythin in Loikaw in one article and only at glance here, but all other, like Mese township etc. happenings here. What about this? I think the current may be confusing to the reader with both named operation x numbering and both having same participants etc. I would personally prefer a explaner type or renames. :)

Well I support a merge, but keeping separate articles doesn't really solve the issue tbh. The titles should be named by what news sources and analysts are calling it- which is still 1107 and 1111. We can disambiguate any confused readers with a hatnote in the mean time- I've gone and done3 that. I'd personally prefer to connect 1111 with the other Battles of Loikaw, but Operation 1111 is also more
WP:NATURAL than Battle of Loikaw (2023)

I can see value in both combining the battles of Loikaw, but also keeping them separate. Combining separate articles into one would make it a bit easier and logical for the wikipedia editors, not having to have to jump through multiply articles if something concerns several. However the advantage of keeping them separate is a benefit to the reader, take the current
Battle of Avdiivka (2022–present), at a glance it may not be easy for the reader to deduce the different phases of the battle, who gained lost/attacked/defended etc. without having to read the article, if that sort of quick information is what your looking for. This quick information is useful if you already know some of the topic, but want to update your knowledge. The battles of Loikaw are also separated in time periods of fighting, while Avdiivka have been a more constant fight. Thus it would be easier to quickly understand that the two earlier battles ended in stalemate or ceasefire while this ongoing one ends in x, then based on that read the sections I feel I need to update myself. Personally I just find it easier to navigate and get to what I want to read. In this case I would air on benefitting the reader rather then the editor.
That said, already something like elaborating what the goal of 1107 is could help in the meanwhile, I think 1111 states it's goal is to capture Loikaw. So if a reader then jumps between the articles they can compare and figure it out.

Yeah, that's what I meant by a
WP:HATNOTE. I still think there's value to merging 1107 and 1111 given that there's next to no text/info in 1107 that isn't about 1111. I'll suggest a merge later this week after doing some background research.
