Hi, i think we need a new world map image since there are actually more than 10,000 people of German descent in New Zealand- the real figure according to the New Zealand government is some 200,000.
Comparing to other ethnicity pages, there is too little infographics in the leading section, too much emphasis on the holocaust, not talking about the communities around the world and no significant personalities.- Alexceltare2 ( talk) 10:18, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
or maybe something like this:The Germans are an ethnic group and a nation native to Germany, Austria, Alsace and parts of Switzerland, Belgium...
PadFoot2008 07:59, 22 June 2024 (UTC)The Germans are a West Germanic ethnic group native to Germany, Austria, Alsace and parts of Switzerland, Belgium, and comprise a large portion of the population of United States, Brazil and Canada...
Should simply restore the version from a decade ago that actually comes with a source and is inclusive of all the world wide view. Germans ( German: Deutsche) are the people who are identified with the modern country of Germany and historically Germanic Central Europe. This connection may be ethnic, residential, legal, historical or cultural. [1] Moxy🍁 21:03, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Moxy. My two cents. The first part seems similar to what we have now but the second part is a can of worms? Germanic central Europe could include Attila and his allies. -- Andrew Lancaster ( talk) 22:02, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
the map and the numbers added are wiki standard. if some wants another set up for the page, they have to change the wiki standard and rules. if all pages look like that you can do it to the Germans page too. ;) BauhausFan89 ( talk) 05:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
why is there a science section missing. should be part of the Germans page, like its on all other ethnic group pages regarding major ethnic groups. BauhausFan89 ( talk) 05:16, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
I am of German heritage myself [...] I even did a genetic test. – Austronesier ( talk) 16:25, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
