thread_title:  Connection to research on ethnic succession? 

message: Hey guys, you're off to a good start here, but there is still room for improvement.
* You need to cite your source for your opening sentence.
* You have a good core begenning for the sections on environment and segregation. Now it's time to flesh these out. In the environment section you might want to make reference to the Chicago school of sociology which became well known for constructing geographical and ecological theories of deviance. These relate well to the idea of immigrants being confined to certain ares. If you need help finding sources on this let me know.
*In the section on environment it would be a good idea to talk about the economic factors at work. You can note that immigrants are often seen as a threat by those who belong to dominant groups but who are economically marginalized- such as working class whited during the waves of Italian and Irish immigration. These individuals often feel threatened by the immigrants who will soon be competing with them for jobs. You can relate this to the current controversy regarding immigration from Mexico.
* You have the right idea in the section on segregation and now need to expand on it. How does segregation impact mobility? Are all different marginalized groups able to move out of ethnic enclaves and move into areas inhabitated primarily by dominant groups? Is class more important than race in determining how one is viewed in society? Author Patricia Hill Collins wrote a book called "Black Picket Fences" that examines the issues you're talking about. It would be a good idea to go to google scholar or the library's database and look for a book review of this book. I think you would find the information highly useful.
Otherwise keep up the good work.

thread_title:  Some Notes 

message: After reading through the article several times, I still don't understand the concept. Is it as general as "Ethnic groups tend to segregate and displace each other until there is economic parity" ? If so, then the second sentence of the opening paragraph should be removed. It should probably be removed (or clarified) anyways, since it refers to 'the group' when the previous sentence referred to 'groups'. What group(s) is the author referring to here?
There are a lot of these types of references throughout the article making it hard to keep straight which ethnic group is doing what. It's like writing an article about two men and constantly saying something like "...and then he..." Which "he" are we talking about?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.67.181 (talk) 03:12, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing tag 

message: I don't think any of the original editors are working on this article, and it is difficult to make progress on one that was so ill-developed in the first place. If we are going to strengthen it, time is needed to find new sources, or ones that can be verified. Editors should comply with giving complete sources, including author, title, month and date of journal publications, etc. Use Googlebook urls for books available for preview, with links to pages cited. These will enable other editors to better understand what is being referenced and enable readers to check larger sources.Parkwells (talk) 18:28, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
