This article is about a person, place, or concept whose name is originally rendered in the Burmese script; however the article does not have that version of its name in the article's lead paragraph. Anyone who is knowledgeable enough with the original language is invited to assist in adding the Burmese script. In addition, depending on the subject matter, the name may also need to be rendered in other local languages, such as Shan or Karen, and help of this nature is greatly appreciated and most welcomed. For more information, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Burmese).

[edit] The city vs. the state

The title of this article being simply an alternative transcription of Kengtong, I suggest having this page redirect to the article on the city, moving this here text to Kengtong (state). Moreover, this century-old Britannica article is in dire need of an update. /The Phoenix 10:45, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] First sentence

The first sentence of the article looks wrong: "Keng Tung is the most extensive of the Shan States in the province of Myanmar." Myanmar isn't a province. Maybe it was meant to say "Keng Tung is the most extensive division of the Shan State province in Myanmar."

Also, it's confusing having a map alongside with no caption, showing the whole of the Shan State province. Maproom (talk) 12:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
