Extended family
Added {{Globalize|date=April 2018}} under "Economic background" section. The section uses racial and organizational names that only exist in United States. Words like "AARP", "black" or "latino" have very different meanings in different parts of the world. I also added a section into talk page about this problem.

Arctic Circle
Removed "Much later, in the historic period, there has been migration into some Arctic areas by Europeans and other immigrants" as the claim doesn't make any sense when the article lists 5 European countries that are located in Arctic Circle.

Added {{Original research|date=March 2018}} as the article seems to be full of original research, most claims lack citations and many "claims" seem more like writers personal opinions. Please provide citations (more the better) so that the article lives up to Wikipedia standards.

Environmental racism
Added {{Which?}} and {{Specify}} into "In some Western nations...". In what nations? Saying "in some Western nations" is VERY broad statement. Does it refer to USA or perhaps Sweden? How about Denmark or UK? I think Sweden or Denmark doesn't even have any racial grouping systems and I'm not sure if UK has one either.

Ecological debt
Added {{Vague|date=March 2018}} and {{Clarify}} after "Ecological debt refers to the accumulated debt of Northern countries". What are Northern countries? Nordic countries? Countries on the North side of equator? Is United States "Northern country"? What about Romania, Poland and Finland? This needs clarification as Northern countries is very VERY vague term and can even have different meanings in different parts of the world.

The Kingkiller Chronicle
Added {{According to whom|date=March 2018}} under "Origin of the Lethani" paragraph. Paragraph includes original research and personal observations that have presented as claims without any citations. It seems that the whole article has been lacking citations for a long time and thus may have some other personal observations too but these were the ones I caught as they linked into Taoism.

This article seems to be full of citations and sources that are heavily affected by religion(s). According to Wikipedia guidelines religiously affected citations fall under "Biased or opinionated sources" category of "Identifying reliable sources" guidelines.

European colonization of the Americas
Added {{Vague|date=March 2018}} and {{Clarify}}. There are 50 countries in Europe and only handful of these countries had colonies. The introduction should list the countries that had colonies in Americas. Saying that "various European powers" gives an image that Ukraine, Romania, Finland and Poland had colonies in Americas.

Dutch profanity

Changed "European Empire" into "colonial empires". There has never been empire called "European Empire" and never will be. Europe is a continent that has 50 countries. Some of these 50 countries had colonial empires but none of them were part of some "European Empire". In fact they were waging war against each other all the time.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Edited out word "racist" from the sentence "When the
racist atrocities committed by
Nazi Germany became fully apparent after
World War II..." as the citations given for this claim don't have anything about "racist atrocities" just about atrocities committed by Nazi Germany. The article also seems to have other unsourced/original research problems as well. Don't know if this is because vandalism or what but article about Universal Declaration of Human Rights should perhaps be protected and sourced+checked properly as it's one of the most important treaties of UN.
