So many Germans?

This is the first time I see the figure of German immigrants as high as 1,639,000 souls. I think that figure is so exagerated that reaches the level of vandalism. Please somebody fix that.Wikisanchez (talk) 02:36, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, we should assume good faith, and I don't actually interpret it as being WP:VANDALism. I've checked the source, and someone has added the entire number of immigrants from the table instead of the German immigrants. I've adjusted the figure accordingly. What is of concern is all of the other numbers and percentages are attributed to "Source: National Migration, 1970" which doesn't exist anywhere in the references or bibliography. It's a very generic name, so I have no idea of where to even begin looking for this reference. If the discrepancy between the only sourced numbers (German immigrants) and what this enigmatic source says are so huge, I dread to think about how inaccurate the figures are, full stop. I'm tempted to hide this section or, better yet, move it to the talk page until a reliable source/s is/are found if I can't locate the original source which may have been lost somewhere over the course of the editing history. In its current form, it is a breach of WP:NOR, and misleading at best. Any thoughts from other editors? --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:26, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've found the original addition of the section and table on 1 August 2015 here. The source was never properly identified, so it would be appreciated if the author, Derekitou, could elaborate on what the source actually is. Obviously, the use of WP:CALC for percentages is completely original research if even one of the stats is wrong... which has been demonstrated to be the case. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:54, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong totals

This section's table total states that there were 8.090.000 in total numbers of immigrants from 1857 to 1940, however the total only adds up to 6.531.054. 203.25.139.133 (talk) 22:59, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Argentines of European descent

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Argentines of European descent's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:35, 26 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
