replies: text: The original term is Four Little Dragons (四小龍), meaning the four rapidly growing economies. They were “little” compared to Japan, which was already a developed nation then. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 10:27, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

text: The term was coincided by the time these four economies were still considered emerging market or developing countries dates back to 1970s and 1980s. Meanwhile, Japan was already a member of G7 and regarded as the only one developed country in Asia in forementioned era. Sheherherhers (talk) 20:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Lead section summary is a little too long and detailed with information that isn't covered in the body of the article. For example, the summary discusses neoliberalization and it's related policies; but it is only briefly mentioned once in the body.
Section 'Territory and Region data' needs to cite sources of data- many figures missing citation. 
Underdeveloped section on information regarding the start of industrialization and characteristics of the Four Asian Tigers. Hong Kong has specific mentions of industrialized sectors(ie textile, clothing, plastics), but not for other countries such as Singapore and Taiwan. Expansion/elaboration on details of 'government involvement' is also needed to understand how different countries developed their economies(ie. the level of involvement from the state and private sector during industrialization would help understand the difference in development between Korea and Singapore). Missing information on ESI(Export Substitution Industrialization) as a characteristic of these four countries. 
Organization and flow of this page is distracting. The order of placement for subsections 'cultural factors' and 'financial crisis' section seem out of place. Rather than have Cultural Factors with it's own subsection, perhaps a new subsection about overall factors for successful development of Asian NICS. Included with the cultural factors should be political and economic factors(ie the significance of political unrest in China in spurring foreign investment in Singapore)

message: Could "developing the cerebral intellectual abilities of their human talent, fostering and retaining their gifted geniuses" not be replaced by "education"? It reads very strange. Are a few "gifted geniuses" really more important than a highly skilled/educated workforce in general?

replies: text: Agreed.  Much of this overblown language was recently inserted into the introductory paragraph, completely derailing the historical summary.  Per WP:LEADPARAGRAPH, that paragraph should identify the tigers and briefly outline the trajectory that made them so remarkable.  If there is to be an extended discussion of education and technology, it should be in the body of the article, not the lead, and certainly not in the opening paragraph.

replies: text: I have moved this material from the lead to a new "Education and technology" section, but it still needs extensive cleanup.  Kanguole 13:53, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

text: I have again reverted the insertion of this material into the lead paragraph.  Other problems with that edit are flags in the infobox contrary to WP:INFOBOXFLAG, linking to a copyright-violating copy of The Dictionary of Human Geography and removal of many fixes by several editors.

replies: text: The recently added references to support "superior IQ geniuses" are to blogs with data purporting to show that IQs are highest is east Asia and lowest in sub-Saharan Africa.  The blogs appear to be based on the much-criticized study of Lynn and Vanhanen.  We cannot use controversial claims with such a weak basis.  Kanguole 12:06, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

message: The lede should say what these countries have in common, and why they're grouped together with a nickname. We don't have a wikipedia page for every possible combination of four countries.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zsrocks04 (talk • contribs) 06:39, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
