== Population numbers ==

Hi Karansarathy, I had to undo your edits to [[White Namibians]] and [[Baster]]. When new population numbers become available, they cannot just be copied into the article without providing a new reference. Otherwise content would become inconsistent, with an old source apparently supporting a new number.

If you have newer references, by all means put them in. If you need help, just drop me a line. Cheers, [[User:Pgallert|Pgallert]] ([[User talk:Pgallert|talk]]) 10:03, 3 August 2014 (UTC)


Response: Hello {{u|Pgallert}}, 124,000 of 2.1 million is less than 6%. The white namibian population is estimated to be 8%, while other sources state 6%. The correct population should than be 130,000-154,000. If your not going to change it, I will change the population with the right sources. You can't argue the sources and the math!!!. According to the Namibian government, white namibians make up 8% of the population. This is the most recent source of 2003.

:Hi Karansarathy, the template to ping me is <nowiki>{{u|Pgallert}}</nowiki>, but that is not necessary as I'm watching your user talk page for a few days. All I'm saying is that the old source cannot support the new numbers. If you have newer numbers, please put them in ''and'' source it, then there is no problem. Cheers, [[User:Pgallert|Pgallert]] ([[User talk:Pgallert|talk]]) 20:14, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

{{u|Pgallert}}, so where did 124,000 come from?, atleast I know where 154,000 came from, The Government of Namibia. That's the latest source. After 2003, there aren't reliable sources pertaining to the figures.
:Have you got a url for that? The older numbers come from a scientific paper (for Basters) and from a web site which is no longer reachable (for Whites). Cheers, [[User:Pgallert|Pgallert]] ([[User talk:Pgallert|talk]]) 08:01, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|left|alt=|link=]] You currently appear to be engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]&#32; according to the reverts you have made on [[:Nambudiri]]. Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus-building in talk pages|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[Wikipedia:Consensus|try to reach a consensus]] rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.<br>
Please be particularly aware that [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|Wikipedia's policy on edit warring]] states:
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made'''.
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. You can post a request for help at an [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|appropriate noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]]. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|page protection]]. If you engage in an edit war, you '''may be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing.'''<!-- Template:uw-ew --> [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 18:38, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Regarding the comment you made concerning {{replyto|Paul Erik|p=}} in your edit summary for [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wolf_Blitzer&diff=818218265&oldid=817943493 this edit]:

[[File:Information orange.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Please do not [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|attack]] other editors. Comment on ''content'', not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please [[Wikipedia:Staying cool when the editing gets hot|stay cool]] and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-npa2 --> -- [[User:WikiPedant|WikiPedant]] ([[User talk:WikiPedant|talk]]) 19:20, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

== Your edits to [[Wolf Blitzer]] ==

[[MOS:BIO#Context]] explicitly states: 

:''"Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the place of birth should not be mentioned in the lead <u>unless they are relevant to the subject's notability</U>."''

Neither Blitzer's birth in Germany nor his supposed German ethnicity is relevant to his notability. So, under the rules of Wikipedia's Manual of Style, this information does not belong in the lead section. -- [[User:WikiPedant|WikiPedant]] ([[User talk:WikiPedant|talk]]) 07:38, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
