Talk:Population White Paper

Discrepancies
Oh for the love of-! Read the White Paper - it DOES NOT say that the population is projected to be 6.9 million, much less targeted at that number. This has even been repeatedly clarified in the mass media, in ministerial statements, and on the White Paper FAQ page. Opposition politicians have been bandying this misinterpretation about, but anyone with a primary level of English comprehension and who has read the White Paper would see this to be true.

My edits are all well-sourced but you and your friends keep coming in to revert them for no good reason. Your version is rife with errors and broken links, draws heavily on opposition statements and misreporting, and attempts to state your personal opinion as fact. Now you accuse me of edit warring, but the first reversion was yours and it was for absolutely no reason at all.Logicpls (talk) 17:33, 11 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Some selective direct quotes from the White Paper; I've bolded two relevant quotes for clarity:

 * I'm glad you've done that for me. Thank you. So the White Paper says that Singapore's population could reach 6.5 - 6.9 million. This is not AT ALL the same as saying that 6.9 million is THE projected number. More importantly, it does NOT mean that 6.9 is a target - as has been repeatedly clarified. Compare my edit to the one you have restored. See the problem with the original?Logicpls (talk) 18:45, 11 February 2016 (UTC)


 * No.
 * But I would suggest that you edit in small successive increments so that anything that is non-contentious can remain and the reversions (if any) made by me and others will indicate what is unacceptable...
 * Thanks for helping to write a better encyclopaedia. BushelCandle (talk) 19:05, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
