Talk:Asian Australians

message: OK. Here I am. Now, what was the issue with the information I added again?
:Firstly, this is the place where you need to tell us all about the change you want to make, especially if it's a major one. (And yours was.) Tells us what it is, why, and what sourcing you have. Then await others' responses. Allow a discussion to occur. 
:Secondly, let's get some better Wikipedia etiquette going here. Can you please electronically sign all your posts on Talk pages by typing ~~~~ at the end. That's what I'm about to do here. See my signature...-> ? HiLo48 (talk) 21:20, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing to extreme i just wanted a source more dependable than some vague BBC article. Journalists aren't known to do deep research, so i wanted to hear from an expert in the field. Bernard Salt wrote multiple books on Australian demographics, so his work does seem to have more authenticity. You can check out some of his work on youtube.

replies: text: But it WAS extreme. Your edit reduced the number of Asian Australians by almost a half. That's a big change tp the article. Obviously some definitional aspect was involved. Is it about Indians not being Asians? HiLo48 (talk) 02:19, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It is what it is. 10% of the population have full or partial Asian ancestry. That's just 2% less, than the previous. I didn't view that as extreme. Szekszter (talk) 02:55, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the edits I reverted that first got you arguing are shown here. That shows a reduction from 2.4 million to 1.228 million, or 12% to 6%. HiLo48 (talk) 03:30, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That is the number of FOREIGN BORN asians. On the other hand, 10% is the total number of foreign Born + asians born to parent(s) that immigrated to Australia after the White Australia policy was repelled. That is why I added(including partial asian ancestry)Szekszter (talk) 03:44, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: But can you explain why the number halved? HiLo48 (talk) 04:03, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  The numbers didn't halve. They were never that high to begin with. 10% is like 2.1 million including Aussie and foreign born. 6% is only the foreign born. Szekszter (talk) 04:27, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, so you have extensively restructured the text. I am beginning to see. And you claimed it was a minor edit. LOL. That's why it needed to be discussed here FIRST. HiLo48 (talk) 05:01, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm beginning to see your definition of 'extensive' is different to mine. It's not like I added a whole new paragraph. I just corrected the existing data with the newest information available. Szekszter (talk) 05:08, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Asian Australians WikiProject 

message: Hi, I understand that NewJeans and Stray Kids have Asian Australian members. I would like to include them as well, does anyone know more about reputable news websites and sources that state these outright. I keep finding fan blogs when doing a cursory Google search, not really reliable sources for Wikipedia. Also members should probably have their own articles, rather than just linking to the K-pop group. Also you can't just add photos to the article without writing a bit about who features in the photo in the article. AverageFraud (talk) 10:39, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
