Talk:Demographics of Jehovah's Witnesses

message: The significance of the number of 'hours of preaching' needs some qualification. This time is based on self-reported figures of people counting time that includes walking and driving around in addition to actual time spent specifically 'preaching', and also includes studies conducted by JW parents with their children. Without indicating in the article what the time actually entails, the figure may be misleading.--Jeffro77 (talk) 11:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: 1) Feel free to improve the article. Your second point isn't relevant.--Jeffro77 (talk) 15:34, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought you have more sources for these articles in case of JW. As it will be similar. I am afraid. I have no such a elaborate statistics like LDS. Maybe someone else --89.176.48.136 (talk) 16:52, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Interactive map, which is in article as reference shows only 2008 data. Not for 2010. Thanks for up-to-date 1876-2010 map very soon. Josh --89.176.48.136 (talk) 14:57, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

message: An editor has suggested that it would be more accurate to refer to the number of 'lands' for which JWs report activity that are not independent countries as "some" rather than "many". Since the number is approximately 50—and more than 20% of the total number of countries— it is more accurate to say "many". In the context used, "many" is the preferred term for referring to countable nouns, and 'some' in this context is likely to be misunderstood to mean only 'several' or 'a few'.--Jeffro77 (talk) 08:37, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with Jeffro. "Many", given the % of "lands" that are not countries, is more accurate. Vyselink (talk) 17:47, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

message: No data is publicly available that shows the information the chart is purporting to indicate. The 1992 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses is the first to provide grand totals for 1991. Among the sums, it includes peak publishers, average publishers, memorial attendance, and memorial partakers worldwide. All yearbooks since 1992 provide this information. I recommend the removal of the chart as soon as possible. I've gone ahead and created a chart with actual numbers beginning with 1992. You're free to use it as you see fit. -- Gorba (talk) 12:39, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This image was considered at the time. However, whilst it is good to provide source data, the table included in the image results in a large area of nothing in the bottom left, which is not good presentation. The information in the table would be better included in the source information for the image (rather than just saying "own work"), with just the chart itself in the actual image.--Jeffro77 (talk) 01:21, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
