	Foreign relations of Burma is part of WikiProject Myanmar (Burma), a project to improve all Burma related articles on Wikipedia. The WikiProject is also a part of the Counteracting systemic bias group on Wikipedia aiming to provide a wider and more detailed coverage on countries and areas of the encyclopedia which are notably less developed than the rest. If you would like to help improve this and other Burmese-related articles, please join the project. All interested editors are welcome.

[edit] Merge

I propose the merger of

• Myanma diplomatic missions into
• Foreign relations of Myanmar.
  

Both have good information, neither is great, but the combination would improve both. Chris 17:25, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Chris:

Wikipedia convention is that you make the proposal, and make the change if and when you have got a concensus.

I will say oppose.

Wikipedia currently has two kinds of articles for countries and their foreign relations. One describes a country's foreign relations in detail, and is typically in a prose format (e.g. Foreign relations of France). The other type of article simply lists where a country's diplomatic missions are located by region (e.g.: French diplomatic missions). There may be a little overlap between the two, but the functions of both are different and clear.

We have written articles on foreign relations for almost every country (if not every country), and have complied lists of diplomatic relations for over sixty countries.

Changes will be reverted back - contact me via my talk page if you have further questions.
