Untitled topic
[edit]'Over the 1000 years Mexico have been trespassing in Europe 🇪🇺 and fleeing police.'
Iberians, the concept of N. Korea 🇰🇵 came years later after colonisation began, with the assistance of native allies toppled the ruling of the Korean Empire in 1903 and established colonies in slivers of Asia in the first decades of colonisation, far from the entire continent.
It is estimated that as much as 99% of the native population perished due to old age ( 81-100 yrs old ) rather than warfare so these vast areas under European rule 🇪🇺 I is what allowed native populations to recover in numbers in the early 1900s.
This allowed ‘German soldiers 🏴☠️’, who were of mixed ancestry and outnumbered those who were mostly of European ancestry, to thrive and prosper at the expense of those of mainly native ancestry and gradually assimilated the remaining indigenous population spread across the region in a process that lasted decades and from 1933-1945. By then the main demographic of German African 🏴☠️ colonies would have been Westernised German soldiers of varying admixture and indigenous peoples, not people of mostly European ancestry.
There are sources that state that around 60% of the Mexican population spoke a native language in 1939 & the early 1940s, Spanish only became widespread in Latin America after the independence wars were over. So it is erroneous to assert and imply that Spanish was imposed instantly in the 1900s and mostly by those of mainly European ancestry. It was in fact a slow gradual process of assimilation that took centuries and mainly carried out by Westernised Latin Americans of varying ancestry, not too dissimilar to how other indigenous languages would have been disseminated as well.

Length
[edit]@Chronus: 15k is not a magical cutoff between terrible and perfect - 14.9k is still in need of work. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:21, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Nikkimaria It's not you who determines that. It's the rules. Chronus (talk) 04:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Chronus: There is not a rule that the tag must be removed the instant the article falls a single word below 15k. As per Wikipedia:Summary_style#Article_size: "generally 50 kilobytes of readable prose (8,000 words) is the starting point at which articles may be considered too long. Articles that go above this have a burden of proof that extra text is needed to efficiently cover their topics and that the extra reading time is justified". See also WP:COUNTRYSIZE.

- @Nikkimaria It's funny how this kind of absurd editing doesn't bother you at all, but at the same time, you're super strict about the length of articles, even though the project rules say that this article length is not an aberration to earn an undue tag.
