Spelling of first name of author Clodfelter

Hello fellow Wikipedians - Recently I made this edit to this article, correcting the first name of the author of the cited book Warfare and Armed Conflicts: A Statistical Reference to Casualty and Other Figures, 1500–2000 from Michael to Micheal. Shortly thereafter, my edit was undone. The spelling of Clodfelter's first name can be verified at the publisher's website, among other on-line sources. My preference would be for someone else to review this edit so as to not give the appearance of edit-warring.

Thanks to all for their contributions, and happy holidays. KConWiki (talk) 03:49, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was the one who reverted your edit, and it seems I was wrong to do so. I think I misread the name when I googled it to check (in my defence it was quite late, and I was tired). I can change it back, or wait for someone else to do it. Thanks, INDT (talk) 04:19, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's no problem at all; I can do it myself if you like. Thanks for the response, and thanks for your overall contributions. KConWiki (talk) 04:23, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Government status should be (dispute)

Due to the existence of National Unity Government of Myanmar which established their rule in several parts of country, and many UN members are not recognized SAC's rules.
