Talk:Chinese head tax

message: The Government of Canada collected about $23 million in face value[2] from about 81,000 head tax payers, some of the money being used to support Canada's war effort in World War II. The total head tax collected by 1923 has been estimated as equivalent to over $1.5 billion in 1988 dollars.[citation needed]
This tax started in 1885 and ended in 1923, yet the money is supposed to have been used to support our World War Two expenses?  Either this is a typo and should read "World War I" or else more explanation is needed as to how and where the money was squirreled away all that time. I personally feel that it is a typo.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.222.246.177 (talk) 13:45, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:   Chronological Implausibility 

message: This article is named Head Tax.  There is another article, Poll tax, which talks about the how this kind of tax has been used in different countries and times.  The article Head tax (note that "t" is lowercase, instead of uppercase as in this article) redirects to Poll tax, not here.  It would probably be less confusing if either:
* Head tax redirected here, and this article had a reference to Poll tax, or
* This article were renamed to Head Tax (Canada) or something more specific, and Head Tax redirected to the same place as Head tax.

replies: text: I agree with the renaming suggestion, specifically "Head tax (Canada)" and have done so accordingly! Amchow78 19:25, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation from "Head tax" and "Poll tax" 

message: The original head tax records of the Canadian government are now online, through a website at Library and Archives Canada(database co-developed by researchers at University of British Columbia). You can search the database by the immigrant’s name, head tax certificate number, or year of arrival, and then view an online copy of the ledger page showing the handwritten arrival information. The arrival information of over 95,000 people is recorded. There is no charge for using the database or viewing the images.
I think an external link to this database would be a good addition to this article, but also want to declare my COI – I work for Library and Archives Canada, and worked on this project.
I suggest we create a new Library Resources subsection within the External Links section, and add a link something like this: 
Immigrants from China database at Library and Archives Canada – search and view the original head tax records for all Chinese immigrants to Canada from 1885 to 1949.
(BTW, the date of 1949 is correct! Although the head tax legislation was repealed in 1947, the records were maintained until 1949.) Jmhn1867 (talk) 16:31, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
