Why No Section Regarding Genocide Before Europeans Arrived In The Americas?

Don't you think it is rather disingenuous to have a section regarding the European conquest of the Americas without discussing the rampant genocide that occurred with regard to warring factions of existing tribes over other tribes, those tribes either being more peaceful, or in some cases also warring but not nearly as strong? Hopefully the reason isn't because someone feels that wars between different indian tribes don't amount to genocide because both are "indigenous", it should be reminded that most tribes came from somewhere else, at what point do you regard the time frame to what they are "indigenous" or "invading", especially with regard to moving into an area they are simply not indigenous to?

The Americas before Europeans arrived was just as deadly, if not more so, for many tribes that existed. It would go a long way to providing an honest and accurate portrayal of the Americas before Europeans got there. But of course this doesn't fit much of the current "narrative" with regard to revisionist history, now does it?2600:8804:80:2280:65B8:FBB:7AF:9A3A (talk) 03:34, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New additions under Canada sub-heading

Hello all, I am just adding some context and examples and pictures under the Canada sub-heading. Aefmra (talk) 18:04, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, why adding birth rate facts in China under China/Uyghur section was reverted

I recently tried to add some additional birth rate facts under China/Uyghur section, where birth rate drop of around 30% in 2018 is used as a reason of genocide against Uyghur (the birth rate numbers come from Chinese government, and CNN news got confirmation from Chinese government). However, the change was reverted for Original Research reason. However, I provided links to the birth rate numbers in 2017 and 2018, which are the original Chinese government’s statistics.

The fact is the birth rates dropped in many provinces in China in 2018. Certain province like Shandong even saw 24% drop. The province consists mainly of ethnic Han people (the dominant ethnic group in China). If there was genocide against Uyghur based on birth rate drop, by the same reasoning, there was also genocide against Han group in the same year? The sources of the birth rates are the same so if we trust CNN’s number (actually based on Chinese government’s numbers), we should also trust the numbers from the Chinese government.

In summary, there could be potentially different explanations on the birth rates drop in China. But the additional facts need to be listed so people can make their own judgement. We don’t want biased facts to mislead people.

For reference, here is the 2017 birth rates for different provinces, in Chinese: ^[1]

Here is the 2018 birth rates for different provinces, in Chinese:

I would recommend also providing the CNN report in addition to the Chinese Govt.‘s report—how is it treated in the CNN piece you reference? For context, here is how birthrates you mention are treated by the Associated press (the piece concentrates on decline over a number of years, not just 2017/2018): https://apnews.com/article/269b3de1af34e17c1941a514f78d764c . —Hobomok (talk) 15:33, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
