Talk:Languages in censuses

It seems to me that the synthesis in this article is of a trivial character, there is no original research. Andres (talk) 21:12, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

I question the value of collecting all this in one article. —Tamfang (talk) 08:46, 21 November 2014 (UTC)


 * "there is no original research": Good. Wikipedia is not a site for original research.
 * "of a trivial character" (also ): Would you care to be more specific? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.

 * I just objected to the claim that this was original research. I didn't mean to comment on the usefulness of the article. Andres (talk) 10:25, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

I can imagine a reader who wants to know what languages are spoken in a given country, and its language policy; such information ought to be in that country's article (or one spun off from it). I can imagine a reader who wants to know how many speakers a given language has in each country; such information ought to be in that language's article. I have a harder time imagining why anyone would want every such list at once. This article will inevitably be uneven in quality, inconsistent in format, and awkward in size. —Tamfang (talk) 05:46, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Languages in censuses
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Languages in censuses's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "cia": From Turkmenistan:  From List of territorial entities where Portuguese is an official language:  From List of territorial entities where Chinese is an official language:  From Ukraine:  From Wishful thinking:  From Portuguese language:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:37, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

United States
I was surprised that the US was not represented here. The material I put into that section is These U.S. Government pages have no copyright notice and are evidently therefore in the public domain. --Thnidu (talk) 04:29, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) mostly, directly quoted from the U.S. Census page referenced at the end of the section
 * 2) with a parenthetical note taken from another Census Bureau page

Chinese characters are using romanized in Pinyin system.
What does this mean? There must be a mistake in that sentence. --2.245.120.30 (talk) 14:45, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
