Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Min Maha of Prome” as governor of Prome (Pyay) from 1422 to 1429. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1421, 1429, 2006, 1724—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Maha, Prome and governor can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as governor of Prome (Pyay) from 1422 to 1429. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28231381. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1421, 1429, 2006 and 1724.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
