Talk:Mennonites

Germany in Organization: Europe

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mennonites&oldid=1069216452#Organization:_Europe

There are mistakes in the text about Germany. See especially https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mennoniten&oldid=218958519#Deutschland and https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arbeitsgemeinschaft_Mennonitischer_Gemeinden_in_Deutschland&oldid=213370494. Please, correct it. Thanks. Greetings, --Sokkok (talk) 01:16, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide the sentences you want corrected and a source to support the changes. Wikipedia does not qualify. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:24, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The sources, of course... but so the article is disqualified... :-( - See here: http://www.mennlex.de/doku.php?id=loc:deutschland&s[]=mennoniten&s[]=deutschland. Greetings, --Sokkok (talk) 19:59, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to alter the dark history of sexual abuse

The widespread sexual abuse of women within this religious community has clearly been wiped of the page on purpose. For a group that has nothing with modern technology, they are quite good at manipulating online information.

This page should be checked by the Wikipedia team, and certain factual information should be locked from alterations by members of the group, to protect current and former victims. 62.250.168.63 (talk) 10:28, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Countries not in descending order of population

Mexico (with 110,000) appears below Kenya (with 35,575). In the source the order is correct and I wasn't able to identify the source of the issue. MariaMarCG (talk) 22:23, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Making sense of the opening sentence (of the lede )

This is the sentence that currently opens the lede, and therefore the entire article also:

"Mennonites are groups of Anabaptist Christian church communities of denominations."

The expression "church communities of denominations" is either an existing and known expression to describe some type of Reformed or Anabaptist churches, or just a mistaken expression. I fear the latter option might be closer to the truth here, because the expression "communities of denominations" still does not make sense to me. I just keep asking myself what the heck are "communities of denominations," but I'm still not able to come up with a satisfactory explanation to it. Might someone else around here be the wiser and explain it to me? I'd appreciate that. Thank you, warshy (¥¥) 23:20, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bolivia

I don't understand, it says here that there are 25,000 but in the article Mennonites in Bolivia it says that there are more than 150,000Hastengeims (talk) 21:52, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Statistics?

The Stats in the "Regions with significant populations" & "World Statistics" in the info box seem to be the number of Anabaptists and not the number of Mennonites. They seem to parallel the numbers found here https://mwc-cmm.org/sites/default/files/resource-uploads/mwc_world_map_2022.pdf which states it is not only Mennonites on the top-right of the PDF.

Deforestation?

"Across Latin America, Mennonite colonization has been seen as a driver of environmental damage, notably deforestation of the Amazon rainforest through land clearance for agriculture."

Seriously?? Mennonites are "a driver of environmental damage" because they have the audacity to farm? This reads like they are actually a serious threat to the rainforests. Guessing if you had to rank major causes of deforestation in the Amazon, Mennonite farming would be pretty far down the list. This is hardly neutral POV and should be reworded or stricken completely. 38.240.106.145 (talk) 02:39, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Surnames... the sentence is utterly confusing - are these common surnames or not? Where for example are Friesen and Reimer - two of surely the most common surnames?
