Please note that I am talking about your edits to French people and Italian people, where your changes to the population numbers contradict the sources used in the articles. LovesMacs (talk) 15:46, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures) please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi FrankVonPedro, I've left a reply to your message on my talk page -- Marek.69 ^talk 18:29, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi FrankVonPedro, I've left you another reply on my talk page -- Marek.69 ^talk 15:13, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I believe you misunderstood my message. You have changed the population of French people per country several times: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. You also did the same thing with the Italian people article. The original population numbers for each country in both articles came from various respected sources.

The reason why so many people have been leaving you messages is that you have been changing the population numbers in these articles without citing a reliable source to back up your edits. LovesMacs (talk) 14:35, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop sending me threatening messages on my talk page.Teapotgeorge^Talk 11:58, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I think you still misunderstand my point. Let's take the population for France in the article French people as an example. You repeatedly changed the population from 64,303,000 to 60,303,000, despite what it says in the cited source.

While many of the people in that 64 million figure will be immigrants, the introduction of this Wikipedia article states that "French people" can refer to "The legal citizens and residents of France" or "People whose ancestors lived in France or the area that later became France". I interpret that definition as including immigrants for the purposes of this article. LovesMacs (talk) 16:09, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I don't know why those specific definitions were used for French people. Your questions should get some wider input at the talk page of the article, which is here. Thank you. LovesMacs (talk) 18:46, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
