== Lead section readability and relevance == |
|
|
|
|
|
The lead section currently has four paragraphs, none of which are short. However, approximately one-third to one-half of the material in those four paragraphs is detailed explanations of relatively distant history. |
|
|
|
|
|
I propose to modify the lead section in the following way: |
|
|
|
|
|
1. Keep the current first paragraph as is. |
|
|
|
|
|
2. Move the current fourth paragraph to be directly after the first one. |
|
|
|
|
|
3. Transfer the current second paragraph, along with approximately the first half of the current third paragraph, into the History section. |
|
|
|
|
|
4. ... which leaves the second half of the current third paragraph as the ending of the lead section. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's not ideal, but I think it would be an improvement. In my opinion, the current amount of detail about old history doesn't belong in the lead section. ] (]) 15:26, 10 August 2023 (UTC) |

:The history is certainly excessive and should be collapsed into one shorter paragraph, and the lead in general is a bit lengthy. Generally history is the second paragraph, and the last paragraph contains the details on the foreign relations. Perhaps the fourth paragraph can be split rather than being completely shifted. ] (]) 01:53, 11 August 2023 (UTC) |

== Rohingya genocide == |
|
|
|
|
|
I noticed that the history section largely jumps from 2016 to 2020 without mentioning the Rohingya persecution in 2017, which seems a notable event that got a lot of international attention, at a minimum resulted in mass migration, etc. Is there a reason it wouldn't be appropriate to mention here? -] (]) 08:32, 28 October 2024 (UTC) |

:Given the international attention, demographic changes to the country, refugee crisis, etc., I am not sure it doesn't belong in "history" too. |

:However, even within the aforementioned section, the "2013 onwards" seems to have minimal commentary on the 2016-2017 period. At the beginning of the genocide allegations section, there is a "see also" link to "2016–17 Rohingya persecution in Myanmar" (which is not the current name of the linked article - I'd think we should link to the current name regardless rather than engaging in a separate debate) but those events aren't really mentioned much in the "2013 onwards" section of this article. |

::@] I fully agree with everything said here. The genocide of the Rohingya is far too notable and significant to be confined to only one small section of this article. I also noticed that the topic of Rohingya refugees is mentioned in Demographics> Ethnic groups, but it had no word of refugees past 1991. To rectify this, I added this sentence: "Since August 2017, an estimated 23,000-43,700 Rohingya have been killed in the ongoing ], and another 730,000 have fled to Bangladesh.", with three added sources. (Hopefully it doesn't get reverted by some genocide denier, ugh.) Regarding your concern about the "see also" link, it appears as though someone thankfully changed it to "Rohingya genocide" to match the page title (unless you're the one who did that, in which case nice!!) Thank you for pointing all this out, by the way - it's really important stuff. ] (]) 11:39, 30 October 2024 (UTC) |
