Talk:Demographics of South Sudan/Archive 1

Photo irrelevant and provided with a false caption
I have deleted the photo that was inserted right when the article was created. It was provided with a false caption: this is revealed when one checks the photo's documentation. The photo shows children in a refugee camp. The caption claims they are of the Acholi tribe. However, the photo source does not state the children's tribe. On top of that, the photo's original caption identifies the children as Ugandans. They are not South Sudanese. The photo was used simply because it depicts Africans from an adjacent country.

Another flaw in the article was the level of the prose was crappy. Hurmata (talk) 18:58, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Seems lots of contradictions in the section "Ethnic groups"
First, the 1st paragraph says "About 40% of South Sudanese...speak one of the Nilo-Saharan languages", and then "The other 5% speak languages from the Ubangian family", where 40%+5% is definitely not 100%. Second, the Luo People is described as "the third largest ethnic group with over 2 million", then the Nuer People are said to be "the second largest group in South Sudan, representing 15.6% of the population in 2013 (or about 1.8 million)", where 2 million is bigger than 1.8 million. Maybe the source of population number is not in the same time, but we have to clarify. 2001:CE0:2201:880C:107B:1580:5495:B02 (talk) 07:55, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * It appears that this edit by an IP back in 2012 changed what was 95% to 40% with no edit summary or reference. I've gone ahead and changed it back to 95%, which makes things consistent again (95% and 5%). The other contradiction isn't a contradiction; the Luo people are describe as "the third largest ethnic group with over 2 million" in Kenya, not South Sudan; there are only 171,000 of them in South Sudan.
 * With the correct and clarification above, I've gone ahead and removed the contradiction template.  C Thomas3   (talk) 04:32, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
