language populations

Hi Thanneer,

I see you added "significant numbers" of speakers of several Indian languages to various countries in List of languages by number of native speakers. Do you have sources for these claims? We've spent a good deal of time squaring all the data with Ethnologue 15, and arguing for any changes on the talk page. Ethnologue isn't always very reliable, so we're happy to change, but if we don't verify everything, the article quickly becomes useless. (Like having 250 million speakers of Turkish, or a significant number of native Spanish speakers in Bangladesh.)

Flags in human migration articles

Hi, can I suggest you read Wikipedia:Manual of style (flags)? Flags shouldn't be used for decorative purposes, nor in situations where they would wrongly imply something about people's nationlity. Furthermore, flags shouldn't be used to represent people who wouldn't identify with those flags. Because of this, they definitely don't belong on articles about human migration and ethnic minority populations; many members of ethnic minority populations left their countries of origins before those countries even adopted their current flags. Thanks, cab (talk) 01:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I've started a thread about this at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (flags)#Flags on articles about immigrant populations. cab (talk) 02:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Indians in Madagascar

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot.

It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
