User talk:Yererfor

Welcome
Dear Yererfor, thanks for creating a user account for your work on Wikipedia. I hope that this will improve your experience here. It certainly allows me to better get in contact with you and explain why things had to be reverted in the past. Wikipedia is a project that is governed by rules, and it is really helpful to learn what these rules are before you continue with your edits on population numbers for the Gurage people. Certainly we all now that the numbers currently shown on the page are not very near the real number of Gurage people. The problem is that we can only show numbers that have been published by a reliable source, such as the national census, or a good academic publication. So you can update the existing numbers, but only if you replace the current given source by a new source that indeed states what you change - and this source needs to be reliable, and not just the personal blog of the chairman of the Gurage Liberation Front. The next opportunity for a new reliable source is going to be the next census, which was planned for last year but had to be postponed. Let's hope that it happens soon, and then we will be eager to update the numbers to what they really should be. Right now there is not much we can do. Please be patient!

Your report is biased and can you verify also the numbers for Tigray,Amhara, Oromo and others which are hyper inflated. Before you embark on changing the Gurage people's population figure check on others and adjusted to their 2007 census Yererfor (talk) 14:38, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If you check the edit history of these pages, you will see that I do exactly that - I revert every change of population numbers that is done against the stated sources. I spend much too much time of my life reverting unsourced edits to population numbers, as this seems to be the current fad on Wikipedia. Everybody wants their ethnic group to be the grandest and largest in the known universe, but in Wikipedia we still need to have all claims to be backed up by sources. So your attempt at whataboutism doesn't really help your cause. Please acquaint yourself with the rules of Wikipedia before editing any further. Landroving Linguist (talk) 15:54, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * This is my final warning: I see you falsify sources like this one more time, and I will call in an administrator to block you. This is no small matter, but really serious. This kind of behavior is not tolerated on Wikipedia. Landroving Linguist (talk) 12:43, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
