False claim

User @MonsenorNouel is including the false claim that "Brazil has the largest mulatto population in the world". None of the "sources" state the claim. He is doing WP:SYNTH and WP:OR and therefore the claim must be removed. Torimem (talk) 13:40, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now removed. I agree that there are obvious OR/SYNTH concerns to be overcome here. I have no particular reason to doubt that Brazil has the largest mulatto population in the world, but we need a source saying so explicitly. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 19:05, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-There isn't enough information on this page. Say if someone were to really extensively look into the term and the people who are identified as mulatto, you would not be able to get much. Each country in Latin America, for example, should have their own section like the "mestizo" article. It would also be nice to bring the population table back, that was rediculous to delete that in the first place. The word may be offensive to English speakers, but censoring the article is not helpful for those who truly just want to use it for research purposes.

-== Orphaned references in [[:Mulatto]] ==
+==Wiki Education assignment: Humanities 2 F24==
-I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:Mulatto]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
