Talk:Demographics of Asian Americans

message: Hi all. FYI, I removed the following from the article:
"Such trends [high median income] are less common among Asians emigrating to the United States from southeast Asian countries such as Laos and Cambodia, among others. Many of these immigrants can be considered refugees from Communist and totalitarian states and often do not have the educational or socioeconomic advantages of other Asian Americans."
I removed this because most immigrants who come from Southeast Asia are in fact not coming from totalitarian regimes as e.g. Cambodia is a parliamentary democracy and so are many other SE Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, etc. Many Nothern Asian countries, e.g. China and North Korea, are totalitarian and communist. So I removed the part above because it is factually incorrect. If you have any objections, please bring it up here.

replies: text: I believe that the Cambodia reference is regarding those who immigrated to the United States as refugees during the Khmer Rouge period of its history. Furthermore, many Southeast Asians have migrated to the United States as refugees from the former Republic of Vietnam and Laos. Although the inclusion of all Southeast Asia as under communist or totalitarian states is perhaps to inclusionary, perhaps the content can be reworded, and then re-added to the article. The simple fact, which is easily cite-able, that the growth of Southeast Asians in America due to a large part of those refugees resettling in the United States, should be mentioned. Furthermore, a quick search of the article finds no mention of this. Of course it can be also argued that this content can be moved to a more appropriate article, such as the immigration trends section of the Asian American article, especially seeing how this article appears to be a sub-article of the aforementioned article. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 10:47, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Non-inclusive population figures

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Demographics of Asian Americans's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "c2010":
From White American: 2010 United States Census statistics
From White Hispanic and Latino Americans: Overview of Race and Hispanic Origin: 2010
From Hispanic and Latino Americans: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 19:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is there a new 2010 Asian population percentage map yet? 

message: I have boldly moved the historical percentages content to the Asian Pacific American article. The diffs can be seen here:
*removal from this article
*addition to the other article
The reasoning for this is, since the subject of the table is Asian Pacific Islanders, the content should be in that article, rather than this article whose primary subject is Asian Americans, and is a sub-article of the article of that subject.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:45, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Historical percentages 

message: Per WP:BRD I have unremoved a table. Content appears to be from Table A-1 from pages 29-33 from this source. There is more up to date information here, but this is an abstract, with links to more detailed information. Also there is this source which we should look at.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:13, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Contrary to WP:V, the data in the table is not in that source.  If that is indeed the source, then it is WP:SYNTHESIS to extract raw data and present it in the voice of wikipedia.  If a secondary source cannot be found which highlights that specific family of data, then it should be removed per WP:UNDUE. aprock (talk) 16:29, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Removing per policy concerns above. aprock (talk) 16:50, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The source is from the U.S. Government making it public domain, and the verifying source is clearly provided by the footnote. Therefore, there is no policy issue.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:52, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As noted several times, the data in the table is not a source.  Similarly, the content in no way summarizes the source, and represents WP:SYNTH.  I'll give you several days to try and sort out the verifiability and synthesis issues. aprock (talk) 19:57, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Please see WP:AVOIDYOU, please stop wikihounding me.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:09, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

text: First step is to ask the editor to stop, thus why I have not taken it to a noticeboard. I am hoping that by asking, that it need not escalate.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:17, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, no clue what you're talking about.  If you want to discuss this further, I suggest you take it to my user page. aprock (talk) 04:31, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The URL links in the references at the top of the columns in the "U.S. states and territories" section (references #101, #102, #103, #104, #105, #106 and #107) do not show any data. For example, the link provided in the reference ["Total Population: Chinese alone or in any combination". 2010 Census Summary File 2. United States Census Bureau.] (the Chinese column) does not show any data — the website only displays the total population of the United States. Therefore, there is no way to verify whether the data (in the table) for the 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico is correct. The links were retrieved in 2012; it's possible that the links have changed since then.
I looked up American FactFinder's Nebraska data, and the displayed data for Filipinos was 2,741, not the 4,900 displayed in the table in the article. That may be because the 2,741 number is for Asians alone (i.e. not in combination). In any case, I could not find any reference with the 4,900 number. And that is just one state: multiply this issue by 52.
