Hmong history[edit]

Be careful citing this book in sections about Hmong history. The main source is Hmong: History of a People which has been disputed! WhisperToMe (talk) 15:24, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Characters"[edit]

Is it normal to call the subjects of a nonfiction book "characters"? It feels odd to me, but maybe that's how wikipedia does it? PermStrump(talk) 18:28, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
