@Wario-Man: An unregistered user has again introduced the information that, to me, is rather encyclopedic, but I have no access to the source to check if there is any way to rephrase it to make it fit better or if this should just be removed altogether. Since you've reverted that edit once, can you give a look into it? Similar edits exist in Rouran Khaganate and the source is used in simple:Ruanruan, but for a slightly different claim. - Sarilho1 (talk) 09:10, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sarilho1: The reason why I reverted IP's edit was because of bad usage of "ref" but the edit itself was OK. You can access the book/source here and copy-edit/neutralize the used content if you think it's necessary: page 49, last paragraph Another point is this article was targeted by Special:Contributions/AsadalEditor and Special:Contributions/MeLoveGames (both are long-term sockmasters) and some other problematic IPS/users, so you better review and verify the whole content of article. You may consider rewriting it. --Wario-Man (talk) 13:22, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ruanruan seems to be an ethnic slur.

Rouran people use Rouran (柔然) as an autonym, while the Northern Wei regime,established by Xianbei people, called them Ruanruan (蠕蠕). As the character 蠕 is written with a (hui3, insect; bug) radical, it is very seemingly that the term Ruanruan is an ethnic slur. Hence, I suggest to move the page to Rouran language.--Cosinepi-fly (talk) 16:09, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
