Talk:Mongolian Americans

message: As with the other Foo American articles, this article needs to discuss their arrival in the US, settlement and achievements.  Thanks Hmains 02:38, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Foo American

message: I've recently been reading that the mongols are divided into various different ethnic groups, and that would apply to mongolian americans, too. Also, i've read that there are also non-mongol peoples in Mongolia. Gringo300 04:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure these issues are important to this particular article. And if there any non-Mongol people living in Mongolia that kind of information would likely go under an article that relates to foreigners in Mongolia, not Mongolian Americans. --IanVG (talk) 15:36, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Mongols

message: I'm under the impression that the term Mongolian is more of a nationality than an ethnicity. It looks to me like the term Mongolic American would make more sense than Mongolian American. Gringo300 07:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, like Chinese American and Burmese American, we're already talking about the nationality. Thanks though. Chris 07:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, before I go any further, I need to ask: Would an American of Achang descent be considered a "Chinese American"? I'll need to know before I can go any further with this... Gringo300 05:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For the sake of Wikipedia articles, unless there are significant numbers of Achang in the U.S., then yes it would go under Chinese American. If there is a large or historically significant population, like Hmong American or Tibetan American, then it would have its own article. Go further with what? Chris 05:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, to begin with, generally when people talk about "the Chinese", they mean the Han ethnic group. However, the Han ethnic group are NOT the only people from China. Well, technically, there are TWO Chinas... It looks to me like the "Chinese" in Chinese American is a reference to ethnicity rather than nationality. I'm under the impression that the term "Chinese American" usually means "Americans of Han descent". I have no idea how many Achangs are in the United States. Gringo300 06:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Which people? When Americans, for instance, speak of "Chinese", most mean someone from China, and truly have no idea the number of ethnic groups, just as during the Cold War Americans used "Russian" to refer to any denizen of the Soviet Union, whether they were ethnically Russian or not. The CA article never mentions Han once, I checked. Unless you can source your claim, it is an assumption that the commonly understood use of Chinese-American refers primarily to the Han. I still don't understand what you are planning. If it is to break up this article into smaller ones by ethnicity, don't. Chris 06:44, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm planning to see whether or not the term "Mongolian American" is an officially recognized term among anthropologists and similar such people. I've heard that it wouldn't be the first time there had been a Wikipedia article going outside of officially recognized terms if it isn't. See what happened to the "Malaysian American" article.

text: I've found an article on Kalmyk Americans, and apparently they are one of the Mongolic peoples. However, i'm not sure if there are Kalmyks in Mongolia, so that might not be relevant to this article... sort of. I'll have to check... Gringo300 04:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: Why is this page not named the same way that the (seemingly) equivalent article about Mongolians living in the U.K. is? Is there a reason for that? I think that the U.K. page, Mongolians in the United Kingdom, on this topic is better formatted than the U.S. page. Anyone have objections to changing the current AMCA subheading to a more general "culture and community" subheading? --IanVG (talk) 15:35, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is this page not named Mongolians in the United States 

message: I am not the most experienced on writing/discerning what is important demographically, but if anyone does have an interest, there is data available from the Pew Research Center available on a bunch of different statistics related to the Mongolian population in the U.S. Link is here. --IanVG (talk) 16:23, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Loads of Demographic Stats from the Pew Research Center 

message: The introduction paragraph mentions that Kalymk Americans fall within the category of Mongolian Americans. Should these pages be merged? --IanVG (talk) 16:49, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relation to Kalymk Americans 

message: I think that the subsections on state-specific Mongolian-American activities and history seems odd to be the first thing to read for this article. I am going to move the demographic section and culture and community section to precede these sections. --IanVG (talk) 16:51, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
