Talk:English Australians

message: English Australians are Australians of English descent, the largest ethnic group in Australia after "Australian" (which contains an unknown number of English and Irish Australians). In the 2006 census, 6.3 million or 32% of respondents identified as "English" or a combination including English, such as English-Australian[3]. The census also documented 860,000 residents of Australia as being born in England.[4] Most of them are descendants of English settlers from colonization and the first English settlers here were from North America.
What is this article about, exactly? 
*Is it about people who in the latest census cited themselves as English Australian, or English? 
Because, if it is, then it should be title Australians of English birth
*is it about all the people who are actually of English descent, because if it is, then the "the largest ethnic group in Australia after "Australian" (which contains an unknown number of English and Irish Australians)" is total nonsense! Obviouusly if this is what is mmeannt, then a llarge number of the so-called "Australians" are part oif thhe same ethnic groups- in fact probabbly the mmajjoority of them are. 
* the first English settlers here were from North America This is a vandalistic addition which has been ignored by other editors, evenn though it is glaringly horribly and stupidly wrong and miisleading! Why has iit been iignored? 
* Beneath it, in the paragraph about colonisation,, the same vandal added a blurb on the Mayflower pilgrims going to America.. They even put in a pic. So someone came alonng and deleted the piic, but lleft the stupid misleading information. Pleeeease someone, fix it!
*Don Bradman.... English Australian? WAS he? His biography on the wiki pages doesn't say so! So what does it mean? It all depends on the definition, doesn't it? Are you "English Australian" if you ancestors arrived on the First Fleet? I don't know when Bradman's fammily arrived, but I Do know he was born in Oz, so howzabout we find a better example. I don't think the Brits would claim him as their own, even if they would like to! 
So, 
1. Decide on the defintion. I would go with "born in England" rather than "by descent" 
2. remove the vandalism 
3. Find a better example than Don Bradman

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hi there
Just thought i'd show a link which gives the figures and percentages of the Australian census 2016.
https://profile.id.com.au/australia/ancestry
This shows the number of people of each ancestry and on a state/city base. 
It shows that the numbers shown in Wikipedia are wrong by around 2-3% in some cases.
Has anyone found this website before?
