Race, ethnicity and religion in censuses
[edit]- ... that the United Kingdom began enumerating people by race/ethnicity in 1991, two whole centuries after the United States?
Created/expanded by Futurist110 (talk). Self nom at 06:39, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
A QPQ article was not reviewed. Also, I suggest to rename the article to Race and ethnicity in censuses or just Ethnicity in censuses, because religion, in my opinion, is not in the same category as ethnicity and race. --Երևանցի ասելիք կա՞ 23:02, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- I now did both the first part (I reviewed this--Template:Did you know nominations/Julia Alapai) and the second part of what you said. Futurist110 (talk) 03:04, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- Good, but the article still has numerous errors. For example, under San Marino section it talks about Argentina and few other similar errors that I've found. I also wanna add a map that will show the countries and the last census that counted people by ethnicity or race.--Երևանցի ասելիք կա՞ 03:34, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- I fixed the San Marino error and all other errors that I could find. I also eliminated all census references to religion throughout this article by now. Do I really need to make a map? Also, is my article long enough? Thank you very much. Futurist110 (talk) 08:55, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't say you need a map, I just wanted to add a map by myself. This has nothing to do with the nomination, I was just wondering that the map will be good.
- The length. On November 1st the article had a about 6,500 characters and as of now it has 25,205. So it wasn't expanded 5 times. About 7,000 characters are needed.--Երևանցի ասելիք կա՞ 20:28, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
To be more precise, according to DYKcheck, the article had 6112 prose characters on November 1, the last edit before the current expansion began (on November 24). To achieve a 5x expansion, 30560 prose characters will be needed, and DYKcheck puts the latest total at 24161: you'll need to add another 6399 prose characters.

According to BlueMoonset it's 32,500 now. So good to go!
- Yerevanci, there were other issues (and errors) you noted above: can you please confirm that these are all fixed and that the article meets all the other DYK criteria, including inline citations and close paraphrasing? I see that the QPQ has been completed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:39, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, the issues I mentioned above have been fixed. I forgot to clarify that.--Երևանցի ասելիք կա՞ 21:02, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
- Restoring Yerevanci's tick, which had been put in abeyance by my query. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:59, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
