David Stoll and NPOV edit

The section mentioning David Stoll is written in a very NPOV style: "David Stoll criticizes X group for doing Y action because of Z motives, but he's wrong, because he doesn't understand group X would never do Y action because they have W motives". I don't know enough about this subject or Wikipedia editing to handle this constructively - maybe the entire section should go, or maybe it should be written "David criticizes X group for doing Y action because of Z motives. However, X group believes that this is an inaccurate portrayal of their motives, and is officially opposed to Y action because of W motives." AbigailBuccaneer (talk) 13:56, 2 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Replacement of the word indians? edit

I wonder if the words indian, indians and latin american indians can be rephrased. These were likely the phrases used at the time as they root in colonialism but it may be more clear if there is alternative language available to remove potential confusion between the indigenous populations of of south america and people native to the country india. (Potential editors should be careful not to replace words used in quotes.) Zzooeee (talk) 18:41, 20 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
