The country's area is wrong
The country's area is not 78,315 square kilometers, but 48,442; the larger number appears to be the area of the whole island (including Haiti). Please see this link from the Dominican Embassy in the U.S. with the correct area information: http://drembassyusa.org/geography/

can you please unmerge the two articles that were merged by someone making fun of Dominican history . The Hatian invasion in Dominican republic is a seperate a legit article that was originally on the countrys main article page someone merged it and changed the title to make fun of a very dark time and massacres of thousands of men women and children just for being white hispanics in a time where there was no more slavery. the person who made these huge changes was anti Dominican and abusing there power please unmerge the two articles and place the correct one.148.101.133.119 (talk) 15:41, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
Ethnic groups information is quite wrong
Meztisos 72.9% Mixed Tri Racial -Taino indian,White,african mix 16.1% White 10.9% African 0.1% Asian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kate2020 (talk • contribs) 23:47, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

The information in the Ethnic groups of the DR, added by some unregistered user causing a mess, is absolutly wrong. It says:
But "Dominican" is not an ethnic group, is the demonym of the people fron the DR (and also from Dominica, another caribbean island). And "Haitian" is not an ethnic group either, they're only the others habitants of the west part of the same island and the greatest inmigrant group in the DR.
The information should be reverted as before, that information above does not even has a reference to back it up. The old information was backed up on a previous census quite years ago. It goes pretty much as:
72.9% Mixed 16.1% White 10.9% Black 0.1% Yellow
Reference: Cuarto Censo Nacional de Población, 1960. Santo Domingo: Oficina Nacional de Estadísticas. 1966. p. 32.
I'm not aware of any other census later with the same information.
Also, do not confused (as I've read it in some of edit of this page too) "Mixed" with "Mestizos", is not the same. Mestizo are persons that descendents from native americans and europeans.
It doesn't matter who make the change to fix this error, I only want it to be fixed because is quite wrong and pretty controversial.
Partly done: I removed the |ethnic_group parameter and its values since the information was either unsourced or poorly-sourced. I am not adding the information above since it is decades out of date and does not add useful information. I agree that "Dominican" and "Haitian" are nationalities and not ethnic groups, so the information was at best misleading. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:29, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Meztiso means Multi racial not just native american and white which Dominicans also are in a vast majority even with all this haitian invasion in DR . the real Origin of Dominicans are meztiso tri racial people just like every other hispanic country, numbers dont lie and theres only 5 million Dominicans in DR not 10 million u cannot count the hatian immigrants. So yes over all its a population of 10 million but the 5 million Dominicans are indeed Meztiso mixed Multi racial people that has been proven by the unniversaty of UASD in Dominican republic on august of 2018
Ethnic group section is from 1966

The GDP section has to be updated.
The GDP section shows stats from 2017. All we have to do is click on the source to see the 2018 stats. So, a new source does not have to be provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18C:D07F:F0C1:B0A5:A2B6:D89B:1B55 (talk) 15:52, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Please change the nominal GDP from $76.850 billion to $81.65 billion and the nominal per capita GDP from $7,543 to $7,932.22. Also change the GDP PPP from $174.180 billion to $186.983 billion and the GDP per capita PPP from $17,096 to $18,164.46. The reason for this request is that the old numbers are from last year and these new numbers are from this year. The source is the same. So I don't need to provide a source.

in a study done by the Unniversaty of UASD in Dominican republic out of 10 million people in DR only 4.5 million are of Dominican origin, out of that DNA testing that was done as of 2014 to now august 2018 Dominicans are 73% Tri Racial, 16% White, 10% African, 1%Asian. mulato is a OFFENSIVE WORD used back in the day to speak badly of bi racial people and while there are bi racial people in DR that does NOT NEED ITS OWN CATEGORY, that should also call in the mixed tri racial category as it always has before. someone keeps editing the article to put this word mulato to belittle the article of this country. if someone can help me i will lock this article and pay to keep it locked because the ethnic information is wrong very wrong. MULATO IS DISRESPECTFUL WORD AND IS INACCURATE AND DOES NOT NEED ITS OWN CATEGORY! Dominicans are MOSTLY TRI-RACIAL PEOPLE! Kate2020 (talk) 00:20, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
Not done: I don't see anything close to that as a category. Dolotta (talk) 06:24, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
1844 + 72 does not equal 1865
"the newly independent Dominicans were forcefully annexed by Haiti in February 1822. Independence came 22 years later after victory in the Dominican War of Independence in 1844. Over the next 72 years the Dominican Republic experienced mostly internal conflicts and a brief return to colonial status (but Spain had not come to take away its independence) before permanently ousting Spanish rule during the Dominican War of Restoration of 1863–1865 - if the intent is to claim that conflicts and a return to colonial status continued until the US occupation that began in 1916, then 72 years is appropriate BUT that is not what the sentence says. It clearly says that conflicts and a return to colonial status continued until Spanish rule was ousted in 1865 - which is 21 years after 1844. So, which is it???

"Unification of Hispaniola"
The island was never willingly united politically, many people like to believe that Haitians helped free Dominicans from Spain but thats false. Santo Domingo was already independent from Spain months before Haiti invaded and occupied for personal imperial gain, not to actually help and unify the people like many believe, Haiti just wanted more control over more land and so they militarily invaded by force and without Dominican agreement, it was a military takeover not a friendly unification. Secondly, the 2 were never same culturally, and people from Santo Domingo never seen themselves as the same as Haitians. People like to use the geography factor that the 2 are on the same island, to pin 2 entirely different cultures together. So this name is misleading, it should be called "Haitian occupation of Santo Domingo". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.143.199.165 (talk) 17:53, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
