message: :Image:Seal monstate.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: That article deals in some detail with he very restricted time period of 1757 and immmediately following; since  this is niot covered well in the main article,   it should go there as a merge. I will carry it out soon if no objections. DGG (talk) 06:45, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Holocaust of Mon

message: Are there really 8 million Mon? According to Demographics of Burma, the Mon people make up only 2% of Burma's population of ~ 50 million. Now that's 1 million. — Stevey7788 (talk) 07:56, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think so. Many Mon has been assimilated through marriages. In major cities, Mon is rarely spoken. SWH® talk 08:34, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mon population 

message: I removed this text "Recent studies have adduced evidence indicating that the Mon and Bamar share some common genetic ancestry. A genetic study done on Mon from Southern Myanmar and Bamar from Southern Myanmar showed a high prevalence of a particular glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) mutation not found among Khmers, Laotians or Thais."
The reason is that the texts cited on a study done in 2008; "Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase mutations in Mon and Burmese of southern Myanmar." The result of the study  suggests that Mon people share a common ancestry with Burmese rather than Cambodians.
In my opinion, this study is obsolete and reinventing the wheel. Here are my reasons. First of all, of course, today's Mon share a common ancestry with Burmese as the Mon have been effectively assimilated to Bamar/Burmese for centuries. Second of all, being the same language family has nothing to do with common ancestry.  Moreover, the study is just a cross-sectional study and prone to selection bias.
