Talk:Yi people

message: Under the history section it says that Chinese soldiers executed Yi children. The citation for this is a book called "Warriors of Tibet" which appears to be an autobiography. Can this claim of executing children can be found anywhere else?

message: Maybe Liao Yiwu's latest book "God is red" (2011) should be mentioned, since it deals with the Yi and Miao people and their religious believes. --Johannes (talk) 17:02, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The article reads: "After the Opium Wars, many Christian missionaries from France and UK visisted the Yi area.  Although some missionaries believed that Yi of some areas such as Liangshan was not under the ruling of Qing dynasty and should be independent kingdoms, most aristocrats insisted that Yi is a part of China despite of their resentment against Manchu and Han’s ruling."
Which "aristocrats"? Han or Yi? Or French or British? Historian932 (talk) 04:53, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

message: The header pretty much says it all, take a look at the china.org.cn location in particular. It's been rearranged somewhat but still has paragraph-long chunks exactly as written. EDIT: It might also be noted that of the sources that function, three of four have PRC official spin, and I would call both questionable in terms of neutral content. The sections (erm) quoted here are more towards neutral but concepts like PRC "liberation" still get through. The fifth source yields a 404 error. I would mark some of this in the article text but am relatively new to formatting the articles in detail and don't know how to insert the "citation needed", "dubious", etc. tags.

most broad groupings are lacking a wikilink. What should be done?

replies: text: Yi people is a umbrella term defined by China, (recognized as one of its 56 minority ethnics) for a group of people (Nuosu, Niso, Lolo...) who speak different languages (the Loloic languages). The article scope is about the "Lo Lo" people in Vietnam. The Lo Lo people is one of Vietnam's official 54 ethnic groups, but they are not the same as all other Yi in China. They have distinct culture (clothings, customs...) and speak a local language only found the region. In China they are classified as Yi. There should be a separate article because 1/ it describes the ethnic group in Vietnam (same way we have Korean people, Koryo-saram and Koreans in Vietnam articles) and 2/ they are not quite the same people (only by Chinese definition). Same as Tajiks of Xinjiang are Sarikoli and should not stand in the same article as Tajik people. Sgnpkd (talk) 17:30, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

message: It says: "The most important god of Yi Buddhism is Mahakala".
Mahakala is a wrathful manifestation of the bodhisattva Avalikiteshvara, also known as Kuanyin. If Mahakala is a god, then Yi Buddhism is unlike other kinds of Buddhism, in which bodhisattvas are not considered to be gods.
I tried to check the citation at the end of the section, but it was 404-compliant, so I removed it, and tagged the section as uncited. I now consider this part about Yi Buddhism to be both questionable and uncited; I may return and delete it (or at least, this particular claim).
