Remove/alter the genetics part of the article

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

There are several changes I want to request and this will involve a consensus first, but most of it will involve deletion rather then changing it. First of all, the "DNA and genetics analysis" component of the article is excessive and creepy. Most of it should be removed, especially the excessive and creepy genetics data that tells zero conclusions, such as the "Genome Sequencing" section, which is just a chockful of unreadable data and numbers that don't belong on Wikipedia, but on an Excel sheet. Second of all, the number of Vietnamese people derived from the illegal practice of "selling" Vietnamese women to failed Taiwanese men and failed South Korean men should be removed. The number of Vietnamese people should be altered to reflect Vietnamese people who are legally there (workers and students for example) and not from the illegal selling of Vietnamese women. Wikipedians may think Taiwan is a country but Taiwan belongs with Mainland China. It should reflect the reality that in fact, South Korea and Taiwan are oppressing the Vietnamese. 203.166.241.41 (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 00:14, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I will remove the edit request and then wait for consensus and put that edit request back in or someone with necessary privileges can change it for me. Thank you for your time. 203.166.241.41 (talk) 00:27, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There has not been consensus yet due to lack of participants. Can this please be done? I'm putting the edit request back up. I'm not sure if I have done this correctly but here it goes again. 118.211.76.187 (talk) 19:46, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To establish a consensus, try asking for comment on one of the relevant wikiproject pages, for example Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ethnic_groups. Of the universe (talk) 17:22, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The IP is correct. The material was a huge violation of WP:FRINGE. I have excised it. jps (talk) 18:42, 26 December 2022 (UTC) jps (talk) 18:42, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 May 2023

Vietnamese is the name for all ethics in Vietnam. The Vietnamese in this page only included the Kinh people, the most populated ethic race in Vietnam. I wish to give more details about the Vietnamese people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LordChimera (talk • contribs) 12:32, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article name should be changed to either Ethnic Vietnamese or Kinh people

Per Vietnamese government officials–Vietnamese people are citizens of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam–while the ethnic Vietnamese are official recognized as "ethnic Kinh" but not "Vietnamese" which reserved for all people of Vietnam. (Dân tộc Kinh (nhandan.vn)). Origins and the usage of the ethnonym Kinh as discussed in the article were much older, pervasive, and deep-rooted in medieval history.

- Change to Ethnic Vietnamese helps readers to acknowledge the cultural and ethnic diversity of Vietnam, to ease recognition of the difference between Vietnamese people and ethnic Vietnamese/Kinh; and to avoid the fallacious lumping of other identities into one.

- Change to Kinh people further conforms with official government usage and helps readers to gain acquaintance. 2601:207:200:464D:6451:CCF5:7D29:44BB (talk) 22:47, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar and tone

Recent additions as well as pre-existing ones have made this article verge on the side of unreadable. There are numerous grammatical issues, citation issues, tonal issues, and various unnecessary trivia. There is awkward use of or missing particles all over the place and the entire article just reads awkwardly as it is obviously not written by native or English proficient editors. I would rewrite it myself but there are also tonal issues and citations that are either incomplete, don't link to anything, or shouldn't be there. Lots of citation spamming in between sentences, breaking up reading flow, and WP:OVERCITE. I can't check properly since I don't understand Vietnamese. The article itself is relatively small but over half of its content is citations. The history section is unwieldy and a poor reading experience for the above reasons and the paragraphs are too long. Tonally, some of this article reads like it was written to prove something, especially the parts with four or more citations. Qiushufang (talk) 22:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
