Welcome - making changes to Hmong people article
Welcome to Wikipedia, 3miao. I noticed that you have repeatedly change the population figures for the Hmong people page. Please note, the numbers given are referenced in the article below. Before making such major changes, make sure you have a reference to support them. You may be trying to conflate the Hmong people population with the Miao people population figures (which are close to 10 million). Not all Miao people are Hmong (many are Hmu, A Hmo, etc.) Feel free to take this discussion to the discussion page of the Hmong people article. I will leave a Welcome message below with some links that will help you get familiar with editing Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you continue to help improve Wikipedia. --Nposs (talk) 20:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
