replies: text: Actually, several of the ethnicity figures in the Kenya census were nullified and are presently being revised. This, in particular, is the case for the Somali in Kenya, whose numbers appear to have been grossly inflated (c.f. ). That source therefore unfortunately cannot be used for this particular parameter.

thread_title:  census figures extended version 

message: The following source:
Godfrey Mwakikagile, Kenya: identity of a nation, (Godfrey Mwakikagile: 2007), p.99-102.
Which is used for the majority of the edits here is poorly written at best, and not from an academic (his biography states that he attended graduate school in the united states, but did not seem to graduate).I will try to find a more reputable source for information on kenya and incorporate the census figures as well.

replies: text: Actually, Godfrey Mwakikagile graduated from Wayne State University. He is also one of the foremost contemporary scholars in the field of African studies. That unfortunately makes his work very much a reliable source, and thus is not going anywhere. What it asserts about the various ethno-linguistic communities in Kenya is also hardly unique and can be found in any number of other sources (e.g. , , , , ). And that includes the Kenyan government too (). Middayexpress (talk) 21:35, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  dispute about categories & Godfrey source 

message: if we're going to have this inappropriate categorization and unnecessary information, let's at least be consistent, bantus, nilotes, cushites, semites and indo-europeans. Anyone who comes to this page will realize how ridiculous it is immediately, but at least let's be consistent with our notions. If there is any dispute, do not simply revert without discussion, fully discuss.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.74.249 (talk) 13:58, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  fine 

message: julius sahara et al. do not revert the additional groupings without explanation. I explained the changes in the discussion page, so if you have a problem with consistency, please explain and do not revert by simply claiming it's anonymous. Anonymous contributors deserve respect if their changes are sourced and explained. Cheers.
:I don't know where you got the dubious idea that Indians are "Aryans" or the rest of your nomenclature, but it's original research (which is why you were reverted). Neither the Kenyan government nor other mainstream sources classify the nation's various ethno-linguistic communities as you have, so the material has been restored.
