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)
