Sourcing population data

Regarding this and this, do not change the data without a WP:Reliable source supporting the change. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:54, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

African American population

Reliable source

https://blackdemographics.com/ 2018 Black Population: 47.8 million, 14.6% of USA In 2018 US Census Bureau estimated 47,841,851 African Americans in the United States meaning that 14.6% of the total American population of 327.2 Million is Black. This includes those who identify as ‘Black Only’ and as ‘Black in combination with another race’. The ‘Black Only’ category by itself totaled 43.8 million African Americans or 13.4% of the total population. SEE MORE POPULATION DETAILS

47,841,851 or 14.6%: Black Only and Black in combination with another race 43,804,319 or 13.4%: Black Only 44,085,665 or 13.5%: ‘Black Only’ and ‘Black in combination with another race’ (non-Hispanic) 40,902,223 or 12.5%: Black Only (non-Hispanic) it had a reliable source. You changed it to make it appear as if European Americans are a majority, whereas the truth is Europeans are the minority. So it is not true and I can prove you tampered with the statistics because I create videos with information from Wikipedia as reference, as I am with this conversation regarding you are tampering with the real factual information that was originally posted on Wikipedia. African Americans can count their census. We do not have to rely on a Europeans to tell us how many African Americans there are.

Race and ethnicity in the United States

Race and Ethnicity in the United States

Black and African Americans Edit Main articles: African Americans and Black Hispanic and Latino Americans Black and African Americans are citizens and residents of the United States with origins in Sub-Saharan Africa.[40] According to the Office of Management and Budget, the grouping includes individuals who self-identify as African-American, as well as persons who emigrated from nations in the Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa[41] who may alternatively identify as Black or some other written-in race versus African-American given they were not part of the historic US slave system. In this case, grouping is thus based on the geography of the individual, and may contradict or misrepresent their self-identification, for instance not all immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa are "Black". Among these racial outliers are persons from Cape Verde, Madagascar, various Hamito-Semitic populations in East Africa and the Sahel, and the Afrikaners of Southern Africa including such notable figures as the inventor Elon Musk and actress Charlize Theron.[40]

African Americans (also referred to as Black Americans or Afro-Americans, and formerly as American Negroes) are citizens or residents of the United States who have origins in any of the black populations of Africa.[42] According to the 2009 American Community Survey, there were 38,093,725 Black and African Americans in the United States, representing 12.4% of the population. There were 37,144,530 non-Hispanic blacks, which comprised 12.1% of the population.[43] This number increased to 42 million according to the 2010 United States Census, when including Multiracial African Americans,[41] making up 14% of the total U.S. population.

This is also a reliable source and it confirms the above WP source

WP:Edit warring

Stop edit warring at the African Americans article. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 01:30, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

The African American population is 14.6% Wikipedia 2017 listed African American 14.1%. Freeborn 22 Flyer your agenda is to incorrectly post the information based on European Americans population decline. Furthermore the WP user cannot falsify statistics based in the incorrect statistics they seek on WP. I suggest you read RACE AND ETHNICITY category BLACK AND AFRICAN AMERICANS WP list African Americans population at 14% who is really warring when you change the real information to reflect your prejudices when you change the original information.

WP statement says: According to the 2009 American Community Survey, there were 38,093,725 Black and African Americans in the United States, representing 12.4% of the population. There were 37,144,530 non-Hispanic blacks, which comprised 12.1% of the population.[43] This number increased to 42 million according to the 2010 United States Census, when including Multiracial African Americans,[41] making up 14% of the total U.S. population

When all African Americans are counted including those who are admixtured. The population is approximately 14%. It is noted on WP why are you concerned about the African American population? Why are you trying to reject that African American population is 14.6% is questionable. What population do you represent? Please maintain your groups representation in the population Freeborn 22 Flyer. African Americans population is not a category you would personally monitor daily. There is a population decline however the African American population is not stagnant and stop growing in 2010 which was 13.4 you need to stop warring with the Black and African American category. It is obvious what you are doing

Linda Keita (talk) 14:54, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on African Americans; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.--Cúchullain ^t/c 16:44, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
