Table width
The table is a bit too large to work with, especially if you are trying to read the most recent figures. It should be chopped up into 2 tables. ImreK (talk) 02:01, 11 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Agreed (only 8 years too late...). I will work on this now. too_muchcuriosity (talk) 16:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Order of table columns
I would think that most people reading this are most interested in the population statistics from the most recent census, not the earliest. As it is currently formatted, it is a bit difficult to read the stats on the far right. If no one objects, I'll go ahead and reverse the order. Xylospongium (talk) 18:32, 27 August 2017 (UTC) Most of the Buriat Mongols were killed under Communism and under Stalin the Red Army killed the Oirat Mongols.


 * I came here to say this. For a few minutes I was reading the first column thinking it was current.
 * I checked similar articles for Brazil, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Vietnam, and they all have it backwards in time, so I guess it's a uniformity thing.
 * Still an unpreferable way of doing things, in my opinion. Your observation is a good and helpful one. Kaasterly (talk) 22:31, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Terrible maps
The maps on this article are so terrible that they are in effect disinfo. Not sure if they were intended as such, to my eyes it looks more like general incompetence, but either way they've got to go. Or ideally be replaced by better ones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 11:57, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You could go to Commons:Commons:Graphics lab, but please also bring sources and explanations so people know what new maps to make. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:37, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Russian-government aligned sources
I read a Russia Beyond article about Asiatic ethnic groups in Russia:

However Sputnik and RT are both deprecated in Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources along with ANO TV-Novosti. It would be nice to check assertions in this Russia Beyond article and see if Reliable sources actually support this.

I am aware that Sixth Tone is encouraged for non-political topics but deprecated for political ones, so maybe the same practice could be done for Russia Beyond?
