AIDS/HIV Data
New data by the government concerning AIDS/HIV in Cyprus at http://www.philenews.com/main/1,1,22,0,15383-.aspx Use a translator if you do not speak Greek. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.168.49.202 (talk) 11:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Ridiculous
This article (Demographics of Cyprus) contains the links to its sources but someone decided to tag it with this article contains information for the CIA Factbook. The CIA factbook TOOK this data from my contributions and copied them in its websites! The CIA Factbook is only a compilation of all the information on a country you can find in the internet. I still do not see why some people still do not understand this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WhiteMagick (talk • contribs) 18:25, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The CIA took your contributions to Wikipedia and published it in the CIA World Factbook? Whoa.  That's circular.  That brings the very credibility of the CIA World Factbook into question.  We may have to remove all of it from Wikipedia.  Assuming what you say is true, this is a serious problem, that needs a wider venue of discussion.  (This is big.  It could be the Signpost's next big story.  Hell, it could be tomorrow's headline news!)


 * I suggest you report this problem at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Demographics, and post an announcement that links there at WP:CBB.

Graphical material showing the demographic change (Greek vs. Turkish Cypriots) is VERY needed
The intro passage is a bit confusing. It tries to include all waves of immigration from 1960s after independence! But in reality there should be several separate waves:


 * Turkish people from Turkey
 * Turkish people from Bulgaria
 * Bulgarians
 * Balkan peninsula
 * EU citizens (also, Turkish ethnicity people from EU countries) after Cyprus joined EU

If ALL official censuses would be presented in a graphical way, it would be extremely informative. The statistical data from these censuses would be THE start of discussion. But now it's a bit messy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.173.39.45 (talk) 09:06, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

BTW, i think this page is of utmost importance to Cyprus, as the Turkish part of Cyprus would love to join the EU, as well as Turkey does. And exactly the things stemming from the current demography and history of Cyprus are the reason why Greece and some other EU countries counter Turkish Cyprus claims to join EU, as well as Turkish efforts. The international solution of the "problems" associated with the history and demograhic change in Cyprus will not come easily. And this article could help to shed some light unto the facts and then the debate could continue.

Demographics of Cyprus: references for the section "Demographic Statistics"
Please answer the specific question I put on your talk page:


 * On 13 June 2008 WhiteMagick started updating the numbers in Demographics of Cyprus. As of today, there are no references and no sources for the updated numbers that appear in this important section of the article. Could WhiteMagick please insert the relevant references and sources for each subsection? You can do it in any format that you prefer: my main concern is to have the source information, the style can be fixed later. Thank you. --Zlerman (talk) 05:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

I do not need general paragraphs of text or references for general paragraphs of text, as you provide above on this talk page. I need specific references to sources that you used for the data in Demographics of Cyprus starting 13 June 2008. These references are needed for each subsection separately or for groups of subsections if the numbers come from the same source. Thank you. --Zlerman (talk) 16:23, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

 * AIDS: http://www.euro.who.int/aids/ctryinfo/overview/20060118_10 which need update according to this: http://www.politis.com.cy/cgibin/hweb?-A=837915&-V=archivearticles

 * For the number of Immigrants I used the 2001 Census and the immigration and emigration of 2002-2007 and calculated them. Do you want me to send you that file? It's in excel.
 * Thank you. This should be sufficient at this stage. Yes, please send me the 2001 Census file and the imm/em data (my e-mail address is on my talk page), but much more importantly let me have the URL of these files. Also please consider the possibility of your calculations being regarded as OR. --Zlerman (talk) 02:55, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Ethnic groups
WhiteMagick added extremely important and interesting numbers on ethnic groups in Cyprus (13 June 2008, as subsequently updated). Unfortunately, these data are not sourced and I cannot find them in any of the sources recommended by WhiteMagick in previous communications. I therefore temporarily hid them with an edit note, pending provision of appropriate sources. When the sources are provided, we can easily reinstate them to replace the sketchy CIA statistics that I have inserted for the time being as the best sourced approximation. --Zlerman (talk) 06:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I've had a look at the major source, the 2007 Demographic report. It's a joke in this area - the figures are very clearly significantly understated.  This almost certainly has to do with the methodology used, namely a Passenger Survey.  CIA seems to be as good a source as any. Vizjim (talk) 21:43, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Demographic Report 2007
This is the demographic report for Cyprus for end of 2007. Please updated the Demographics section. If the file does not appear please go to http://www.pio.gov.cy/mof/cystat/statistics.nsf/index_en/index_en?OpenDocument

Thank you. 25 June 2009 WhiteMagick

Historical population during Ottoman times
If anyone wants to add more detail on this, many figures are given in p.31-34 of Volume 4 of George Francis Hills History of Cyprus. Oncenawhile (talk) 12:45, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

The Data to be added Population Census Table
