== Jetsun Pema was a 'commoner'? ==
== Lhotshampa persecution ==


Section "Family Structure" under "Culture" says the queen was a 'commoner' when she married the king. Is this correct? Reading her page, it seems she is closely related to the royal family, and does not sound like a commoner at all. ] (]) 07:32, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Please fix your changes (in bold) to the lead/intro:
*Why is citation 12 (Sinha, 2001) randomly hovering in the middle of a sentence?
*Why is citation 12 listing four different page numbers (pp. 25, 183, 215, 220–221.) referring to different things? Please can you add the book to bibliography and then use targeted sfn templates. It is much easier for other editors to then verify content.
This entire addition of yours to the lead/intro, what happened to the formatting of citations?????
:{{tq|In spite of democracy, the kingdom has been accused of human rights violations such as banning religious proselytizing, which critics denounce as a violation of freedom of religion. Starting in the 1980s, Bhutan's minority population of ethnic Nepalese ("Lhotshampa"), despite a 1958 government ban, had mushroomed to represent one-third of the population due to continued immigration from India and Nepal. Alarmed by this and the Nepalese establishment of the Gorkha National Liberation Front (secession movement) in nearby India and citing concerns about the possibility of a rapidly increasing illegal immigrant population, in 1988, the Bhutanese authorities carried out a census to ascertain citizenship, followed by the enactment of legislation to induce them to leave. Those who had been granted citizenship by the 1958 Nationality Law were stripped of their citizenship. }}
*The Bhutan article is a level-4 vital article in Geography (edit:and former Featured Article FA) that has been worked on quite a bit. While you have followed ] for citation 12 you haven't done so for the citations added above as far as I can make out.
*Please don't be lazy in formatting. Citations 18 and 19 and so on are terribly formatted. Also, why have the citations been put in front of the punctuation when you can clearly see citations mostly go after? Why are there spaces between some citations. Why are there so many errors?
Please fix all the other errors that you have inserted into the article such as the formatting in the "dress" section. Try editing simpler articles if you can't take time out to format properly.
And if any of the above don't directly refer to your changes; please make the changes irrespective. Thanks for the content additions nevertheless; though I still am not sure if it needs a better spot check. Cheers. ] (]) 14:43, 16 October 2020 (UTC)


== The national anthem Thunder king dragon does not sound like national anthem it sound like mittary parade but same key ==
== Intro — disproportionately summarised ==


Can you fix this page right now this bhutan national anthem does not sound like national anthem for me it sound likes the mittary parade on 1990s Please fix this damn page right now, ] (]) 17:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
The intro does not summarise the article adequately; disproportionate weightage given to some items. This line — {{tq|In spite of recently started democracy, the kingdom has a history of human rights violations}} — Which country doesn't have a history of human rights violations? Let us go through all the Misplaced Pages ''intros'' of each and every one of the approx 200 countries and see how many mention and the weightage given to human rights violations. ] (]) 12:20, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
:{{u|DiplomatTesterMan}}, Bhutan's issues are quite recent compared to many other countries. Another country with recent significant issues, ], also has a similar statement - {{tq|Political dissidents and human rights groups have denounced and criticized the Chinese government for widespread human rights abuses, including political repression, suppression of religious and ethnic minorities, censorship, mass surveillance, and their response to protests, notably in 1989.}}. However, I agree that it is disproportionate and that some of it should be moved into the body of the article. In addition, I think more countries should mention their issues in their leads - for example, ] discusses issues prior to 1900, but nothing about the Civil Rights movement and ] should mention issues with indigenous Americans. ] (]) 14:37, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Bhutan did not establish a Monarchy until 1907, so there could not have been a 'Royal Court' at this time.
Per our normal standards, the infobox map should include the areas Bhutan disputes with China, marked as such.
