Yaa Baa is what???

The article states of the United Wa State Army:

" . . . it is said to produce methamphetamine, or yaa baa, which is not only much cheaper and easier to manufacture than heroin, but also more affordable."

But many sources agree that Yaa Baa "are tablets containing a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine" [Wikipedia's definition] -- not just methamphetamine. Which is it? Daqu 05:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in United Wa State Army

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of United Wa State Army's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Lintner":

From Khun Sa: Lintner (1999) 526
From Kokang: Lintner, Bertil (1999). Burma in Revolt: Opium and Insurgency since 1948. Silkworm Books. p. 48. ISBN 978-1-63041-184-8.
From Wa National Army: Lintner, Bertil (1999). Burma in Revolt: Opium and Insurgency since 1948. Silkworm Books. p. 17. ISBN 9781630411848.
From Wa National Organisation: Lintner, Bertil (1999). Burma in Revolt: Opium and Insurgency since 1948. Silkworm Books. p. 17. ISBN 9781630411848.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 22:54, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
