Hi Res. You asked why I used the CIA vs. UNICEF. Frankly, because I was checking 200ish entries to the Factbook, so it was easier. I checked cites to the different sources given though, and when robust (Palestine, Turkey, India & Algeria) I used those in preference. UNICEF isn't a good fit for this table, as you need to be pretty good with stats and to know the male:female ratio in order to get all 3 figures in the table.

Obviously, altering one entry (as you did) and not the rest is not useful, as it means the data for that country is inconsistent. Hence the revert, as outdated consistent data beats incorrect data every time. Hope that makes sense, and I've no problem if you find a cite that supplies the total, the male & the female for Brunei. Also, a census is never (AFAIK) over a period (i.e. 2007-2011), it is rather at a specific point (i.e. 2011). Hope that all makes sense. Bromley86 (talk) 22:25, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
