Change "Maroons" to "maroons". The existing article, as well as the other source below, do not treat the term as a proper noun so it should not be capitalized.
Additionally, the citation for the term is out of date; the Encyclopaedia Britannica article on Haiti does not use the term. Suggest changing it to the page on the maroon community: https://www.britannica.com/topic/maroon-community Mark20044 ( talk) 16:47, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Should me mention "None" as a de-facto government? - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 19:14, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
You may begin Rambling Rambler as per your WP:ONUS request on why my recent edits backed by citations need to be excluded given the fact that it is based on current events suitable for a WP:LEAD (as well as subtly addressing the spiraling “Cannibal” misinformation that is taking social-media by storm by some pretty well-known media personalities that I will not name or haven’t you noticed?). It was written in conjunction with the current political climate and organizations involved in an insurgence in Haiti and was in no way meant to be trivial.

It's mostly about myths that have been debunked, or things that there is no evidence for. There's no point in mentioning it. Richard75 ( talk) 23:37, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
The claim that there were "100,000 British Casualties" during the Haitian independence wars is surely wrong. The British army in the late eighteenth century was surprisingly small and numbered roughly 100,000 men in total, most of whom were stationed in Europe and elsewhere around the British Empire (especially North America) for obvious reasons. There are in fact very few contemporaneous accounts of Britain's involvement in Hispaniola (which, in itself, argues against the alleged scale of British involvement), but such accounts as there are suggest that there were perhaps some 20,000 "British" troops in Haiti (many of whom would have been recruited in the Americas), and that roughly 60% of them died of disease (mostly yellow fever) - i.e. 12,000 casualties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.108.92.22 ( talk) 11:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

In the Post-Aristide era (2004–present) subsection of the History Subsection, the last sentence of the last paragraph says "On April 25, 2024 Transitional Presidential Council of Haiti took over the Governance of Haiti and is cheduled to stay in power until 2026." I would like to make a grammatical edit in the word "cheduled" to "scheduled" B123r123e1234 ( talk) 13:03, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Haiti's sovereignty on 1 January 1804, leading to the massacre of the French. The country thus became the first independent nation of Latin America and the Caribbean, the second republic in the Americas, the first country in the Americas to eliminate slavery, and the only state in history established by a successful slave revolt.

La souveraineté d'Haïti le 1er janvier 1804, conduisant au massacre des Français. Le pays est ainsi devenu la première nation indépendante d'Amérique latine et des Caraïbes, la deuxième république des Amériques, le premier pays des Amériques à éliminer l'esclavage et le seul État de l'histoire établi par une révolte d'esclaves réussie.
