Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Hi FrankVonPedro, I've left you another reply on my talk page -- Marek.69 ^talk 15:13, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits

Hello, I believe you misunderstood my message. You have changed the population of French people per country several times: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. You also did the same thing with the Italian people article. The original population numbers for each country in both articles came from various respected sources.

The reason why so many people have been leaving you messages is that you have been changing the population numbers in these articles without citing a reliable source to back up your edits. Loves Macs (talk) 14:35, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop sending me threatening messages on my talk page.Teapotgeorge^Talk 11:58, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I think you still misunderstand my point. Let's take the population for France in the article French people as an example. You repeatedly changed the population from 64,303,000 to 60,303,000, despite what it says in the cited source.

While many of the people in that 64 million figure will be immigrants, the introduction of this Wikipedia article states that "French people" can refer to "The legal citizens and residents of France" or "People whose ancestors lived in France or the area that later became France". I interpret that definition as including immigrants for the purposes of this article. Loves Macs (talk) 16:09, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I don't know why those specific definitions were used for French people. Your questions should get some wider input at the talk page of the article, which is here. Thank you. Loves Macs (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
