I can't find any information on the book "Moroccans abroad. identity and cultural diversity" edit

I can't find any sources on this book; is this information factual? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:244:5500:30D9:5D4E:4310:4258:30C0 (talk) 01:44, 21 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

I also couldn't find any evidence that the book was published. I've removed the text, which also seemed promotional. See the original edit: Special:Diff/376957338/prev, by a user that appears to be connected to the website it was promoting. --IamNotU (talk) 16:15, 21 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Extensive unsourced changes and vandalism to population figures edit

Most of the population figures in the infobox have been changed by a number of different IPs and short-lived accounts over the past year or more. They no longer reflect what the given citations say. In many cases they have been inflated hugely, and are obviously falsified. I don't have time at the moment to check every source, so if anyone else can help, it would be appreciated. --IamNotU (talk) 16:30, 21 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Moroccans in Israel edit

@Cordless Larry: The data is supported by sources (among them an article of the Jerusalem Post). Syphax98 (talk) 09:27, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

In particular the article of the Jerusalem Post tells that "There are about one million Israeli Jews who are Moroccan or of Moroccan descent". The same number is actually confirmed by a vast amount of sources (including books, articles etc.). The first source is a statistical abstract published by the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. --Syphax98 (talk) 09:33, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Can you explain where in the first source (I presume) the 472,800 figure is? Cordless Larry (talk) 09:34, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Well, you can correct the data, but not delete it. And most importantly you can't delete the article of the Jerusalem Post. --Syphax98 (talk) 09:36, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
The correct figure is actually 493.2. --Syphax98 (talk) 09:38, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Where did 472,800 come from then? I'm confused. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:40, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
It's a mistake. 472,800 came from a previous statistical abstract of the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. --Syphax98 (talk) 10:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
OK, well please take care to check that the sources you're citing fully support the material you're adding in future. Population figures are particularly prone to problems, as highlighted in the section above. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:41, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
The fact that you included a source access date of 6 December 2022 rather than today's date also raised my suspicions. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:43, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
