That the fellow is "pioneers in bringing digital switching" is not encyclopedic unless it can be sourced from an independent resource, and at any rate is not encyclopedic, it makes the article read like a fansite. Source it or remove it.

That is a retaliatory edit for what I placed at
Tin Oo. Knock it off, I did source it.
"Chan Htoon, former Attorney General and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and the architect of the first constitution of Burma (Myanmar) in 1947." Uncle Monty???????

U
Myint Thein, known as Uncle Monty. Sounds like his career. I knew him back in 1988. He was writing a secret history of his life, but I don't think he ever finished it.

I need to find if someone has died, and this is tricky...
The subject is
Ye Htoon. The problem is, he's Burmese. Burma has been a notoriously closed society for nearly 50 years, with low Internet accessibility, and any source material would be in Burmese, which we don't have for this article. This article has been vandalized multiple times since I started it, as the man is basically an enemy of the state. He's even edited this article and provided the photo, but attempts to contact him via his Wiki account have been fruitless. However, two different IPs have posted him as dead of late. I reverted as they were unsourced. It could be just vandalism, it could be for real. Google is bag-o'-nothin', any ideas where else I can look? --

It looks like there's good documentation of Mr. Htoon being alive as of the end of 2009, both from the sources in your Wiki article, and also from elsewhere on the web. After that, silence. That means that the applicable principle is
Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Deceased, and I quote: "...anything questionable should be removed promptly. Any individual born less than 123 years ago is covered by this policy unless a reliable source has confirmed their death." So Wikipedia should continue to assume Mr. Htoon is alive until a
reliable source states otherwise. --

It's likely a hoax. Exile publications like the Irrawaddy, Mizzima, etc. would definitely have reported the death of someone of his stature. (I also looked through a couple of Burmese language weeklies published in May (that's what the purported death was). Nothing. Couldn't search the daily papers though; the archives of daily papers on the government site only go back a couple of weeks.)

I have just added archive links to one external link on
Ye Htoon. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
