message: On the list of prominent members of the Dinka tribe, can someone include the runner Macharia Yuot?  He is a distance runner at NCAA Div III Widener University.  He recently won the 10k, 3k steeplechase, and 5k at the Div III track & field championships - the first runner in any division to win all three of those in the same year.

I'd do the editing myself, but I'm afraid I'd muck up the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.245.147.124 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggested update in re Macharia Yuot 

message: Two errors in the information here: 
* the Maasai are not River and Lake Nilotes, as alleged here - they are Plains Nilotes (see http://www.bluegecko.org/kenya/contexts/nilotes.htm, and http://www.kenyafilmcommission.com/Home/Facts-&-Figures. Maasai are pastoralists, and have never inhabited riverine / lake regions. In Kenya and Tanzania, they inhabit some of the most arid sections of the two countries.
* the Maasai are not the tallest group in East Africa - not by a long shot. The Tutsi are far taller, and even the Kalenjin are probably taller. The Maasai are perhaps more famous, but they are not very imposing vertically!

message: This section levels accusations against Riek Machar that need to be documented from reliable sources. Pending such documentation, I have tagged the section as failing in neutrality. Awien (talk) 18:18, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a really badly documented event but it happened. The Dinka are very bitter about it. It's hard to find a proper source but Google books as a mini achieve of texts with their numbers. The range appears to be from 2,000 to 3,000, obviously not the previously linked 69,000.

message: Just removed a "defence lawyer" from the Notable Dinka section, only to have my edit reverted.  It's amazing what a low bar there is to be considered "notable" here.  I suspect people add themselves or their relatives, often without respecting alphabetical order. Horstvonludwig (talk) 00:13, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Notable" Dinka? 

message: How do we know that the flag shown at the top of this article is real?
I see no references for this in the article, and I cannot easily google up anything. The one site that I do uses Wikipedia as the reference, which is not acceptable.
If there is no source, it should be removed.
Tagging User:C1MM, who added it. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 20:16, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
