  • ... that Dominican Republic recently got area and managed to annex dominica?

  • Not only is Dominican Republic ineligible for DYK (not a 5x expansion, was not brought to GA within the last seven days), but the proposed hook is patently false. The Dominican Republic has not annexed Dominica: the two countries aren't even close to each other, so such an annexation is unlikely.

Ethnic Racial Composition innacurracy

There seems to be an attemped to make the Dominican Republic more European than it actually is. Everytime someone post a reliable source and more accurate sources that have more realistic estimates from the dominican population, they attempt to reverse the white population and black population. In reality the Dominican population has more black dominicans than white dominicans, with mixed race being the majority. At no point in history was the population of whites higher than the blacks, even when it was just one big island (hispaniola) at the time when it was not divided. Only in the beginning was it different (1490s-1500s). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C56:60F0:B9F0:91F5:10EF:57EA:30EC (talk) 17:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 17 January 2025

at the bottom of "the Trujillo era" it says, "The assassination of Trujillo the day before finally eliminated the threat," and it sounds very confusing and doesn't look correct, also you should add "they" between "finally eliminated" The real PikaGamer (talk) 19:27, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: put "they" before "finally eliminated" The real PikaGamer (talk) 19:29, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The assassination eliminated the threat, there should be no "they" in this sentence as "they" did not eliminate the threat, the assassination did. Jiltedsquirrel (talk) 02:13, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
