Languages and Population geography
I added info on language from 2006 census.

Do you think we still need to keep the 2001 data on the page?

--Paulalexdij (talk) 21:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC) or maybe I should incrporate the 200 data into the 2006 table?--Paulalexdij (talk) 23:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC) okay I've made a bit of a mess of the table now but I am going to edit it a lot and clean it up within the nect couple of days--Paulalexdij (talk) 22:16, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Population geography
I've just cleaned up this section, dividing the original three-in-one table into separate tables based on StatCan geographic type. I also revised the thresholds for census subdivisions from 12,500 to 10,000, and urban areas from 6,250 and 5,000. The new thresholds are more logical and common thresholds for population lists. Although it may not have been intended as promotion, the previous milestone endpoints concluded with Leduc County and Devon, where coincidentally the latter is within the former. Therefore, the threshold revisions address any perceived promotion of this sub-area within the Edmonton Capital Region. I intend to continue verifying/adding population numbers from past censuses in the coming days. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 06:37, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

US Americans in Alberta
Other than 50,000 reportedly to stated "USA" or having United States/American origins, it's not fully known how many Albertans are of American or United States origins, due to a large influx of settlers from the United States of America in various times came into the province during the 19th (farmers and homesteaders) and 20th centuries (ranchers and oil refinery workers), along with an open border between the two countries. Calgary is said to hold the largest American-Canadian population in Canada by percentage (about 10%), but Edmonton and Red Deer may hold higher numbers of persons whose families had originated from the U.S. American-Canadians in Alberta includes white Europeans often of Southeastern background, many are Black or African-Americans, some Mexican-Texans from Texas and Mexican immigrants as well, Chinese and other Asians unable to become U.S. citizens in the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Acts, and American Indians from Oklahoma and other states. 67.49.89.214 (talk) 19:10, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
