Talk:2001 United Kingdom census

message: I've deleted all the stuff about Welsh nationality because it was all wrong. 2001 Census did not collect information on nationality. Previous text was 'bloke in a pub said' stuff.

But someone has reverted it on basis that ignorance is to be preferred. Takes all sorts.

replies: text: The actual question was about "ethnic group", and definitely not nationality. The question on the next census will focus on "national identity", which is also not nationality. The issue also affects the Cornish and English. It needs to be re-written, though I think perhaps not completely deleted. As it stands it is inaccurate and out of proportion with the issue at hand. -- zzuuzz (talk) 20:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

message: There's no mention in the article about the fact that a large number of people recorded their religion as "Jedi" in this census. Does anyone have accurate figures to expand this? Kingbumpkin (talk) 14:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes there was a widely publised campaign on the internet that stated, incorrectly, that if more than 100,000 people indicated they were of the "Jedi Knight" faith it would have to be recognised officially and have its own tick box in future census papers. In all 390,000 UK residents out of 52,000,000 respondents indicated 'Jedi' in the 2001 census.(http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?ID=297) Government's own published figures 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 13:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Doesn't 390,000 out of 52,000,000 make 0.8%? How come in the summary of religious affiliations it says only 0.3% "Other"? This doesn't seem to add up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.120.181.144 (talk) 09:49, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Jedi were officially included in the statistics for 'No religion', not 'Other religion'. There's some detail at the bottom of this page. 78.146.254.155 (talk) 10:07, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jedi 

message: "commonly known as Census 2001"? Maybe I'm just not common enough, but I've only seen it referred to, like previous censuses (Censi?), as "the 2001 Census". "Census 2001" looks more like the name of a website. Pterre (talk) 12:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Census 2001 

message: If the census started in 1801, and has happened every decade since with the exception of 1941, then by the method of fences and posts the 2001 census must be 20th in the series. Xmas1973 (talk) 13:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Ordinal number of the 2001 Census

message: I'm proposing that the article United Kingdom Census 2001 Ethnic Codes be merged into this one. It makes sense to have all of the material in one place and this article already covers ethnicity. Cordless Larry (talk) 00:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure I agree. The main article arguably over-emphasises ethnicity as compared with all the other variables (such socio-economic groups etc). It probably needs some work in that respect. Pterre (talk) 16:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the article should be more balanced, but I still feel that if it is possible to expand it further (which I will try to do) then it is best to have all of the material on the same page. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:13, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: The following comment was left on the article, rather than the talk page, so I'm moving it here. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:25, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The census was in 2001 so things have changed a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.178.23.32 (talk • contribs) 20:41, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really see the problem. The article is about the 2001 census as a historical event, not about the present day. The article doesn't claim that the statistics from the census are still current. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:03, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
