The "Etymology" section would benefit from a reference to the article Rhoticity in English

Please change "non-rhotic variety of English" to "non-rhotic variety of English" Troglodv (talk) 22:27, 30 September 2024 (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? -KaJunl (talk) 08:32, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Further comment: I do see that the topic is presented within Government and politics> Human rights and internal conflicts> Genocide allegations and crimes against Rohingya people.
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 think there could be some improvement here. -KaJunl (talk) 08:46, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
