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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Indians in Thailand

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Indians in Thailand, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.thaiconference.tu.ac.th/1011abstracts/INDIA%20AND%20INDIANS%20IN%20THAILAND.doc. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Indians in Madagascar

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Indians in Madagascar, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Hinduism in Madagascar. 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.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
