And the complainer is highly like a sockpuppeter that you have reported. Since you're not informed of this by the complainer, I let you now. Keep up the good work cleaning socks.Caspian blue 17:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Fiji Indian diaspora

95% of the people emigrating fron Fiji are of Indian origin. The Figures used in this article provide an an approximate number of people in these countries who are of Fiji Indian origin. This emigration has been going on since the 1960s and the rate increased following the political upheavels starting in 1987. If one adds the children of these these ex-Fiji citizens then the numbers would be much larger. Anyway, the total of these figures is still still less than the total number that have emigrated since 1987. I believe that these figures give a good indication of the countries of destination and their numbers relative to the present Fiji Indian population in Fiji.

[edit] Re:Chinese people in Puerto Rico

Hello CaliforniaAliBaba, thank you for the lessons in Wikipedia 101. I guess I haven't been around Wikipedia long enough (only since 2004) to know what I'm doing, my apologies. There is nothing in policy which states that I "must" use the infoboxes already established and that I cannot create new ones, I mean that is how this infoboxes get created in the first place. The flags in the infobox represent the people which are discussed in the article and the infobox is in uniformity with the series which I created. Once again thank you for your message and I wish you well. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

• Thank you once more for your comments, however I must point out to you that I never stated nor insinuated any claim to "ownership" of the article which I created. However, I will stand on the fact that I have created close to 500 articles in Wikipedia and among them the series which I mentioned, or is it wrong to use the word created? I mean since when do the words create and owner have the same definition and are the same? I understand the discussion about the flags, however in the same discussion there are various points of view and a policy making consensus in regard to the subject was not made. As I stated the flags of both China's have been posted representing the people of said nations who are discussed in the article. This shouldn't be such a big deal. Thousands of readers have enjoyed the article and no one has made any fuzz until now. I don't mean to be harsh or anything, it is just that it shouldn't be a big deal that's all. Take care and happy editing. Tony the Marine (talk) 03:11, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] on second thought ...

In all fairness CaliforniaAliBaba, I have to tell you that your mention of the flags had me thinking these last few days. I realized that the there wasn't a justifiable logic of usage in the immigration series for the following reason, when I placed both versions of the Chinese flags, I did so believing that I would be representing the people discussed, but then I told myself "Tony, the timeframe of the article also covers the people of China pre-1940s, which flag represents them?". Unable to find any logic, I removed the both flags from the article and also from the other immigration articles which I wrote. Therefore, I thank you for bringing up the issue in the first place.

[edit] Pakistanis in Japan

Pakistanis in Japan refer to Japanese citizens who also hold citizenship of Pakistan. Mostly Pakistanis people came to Japan in the 1980s, when Japanese diplomats signed agreements with South Asian officials including Pakistan to obtain temporary "guest workers" to work in Japan.

Common professions of Pakistanis living in Japan include Car trading, heavy equipment business, carpet business, and the restaurant trade. They are influenced in speaking and understanding Japanese language. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.71.53.92 (talk) 08:19, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

According to an article published in a Non-English language news magazine Weekly Akhbar-e-Jehan, showing that In 1999, there were around 25,000 Pakistanis living in Japan including majority of illegal immigrants. After the incident of September 11 attacks, a larger number of illegal immigrants living in Japan deported from Japan except around 10,000 legal immigrants with only 200 Pakistanis holding Japanese citizenship.

[edit] Self-published book

I'm working on compiling a book containing information about almost all Non-indigenous ethnic groups living or working in Pakistan. The population of a particular ethnic group would be obtain respectively from their diplomatic missions in Pakistan including regions with significant populations, languages spoken and religious affiliations. I'm not very good with writing so it would be great, if you would like to collaborate with me. --116.71.53.25 (talk) 05:55, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

You didn't get my point. I'm working on compiling a free content book containing detailed information about Immigration to Pakistan and Non-indigenous ethnic groups living or working in Pakistan. I'm already in communication with many diplomatic missions located in Pakistan for acquiring exact figures of particular nationality in Pakistan. I'll look forward to include regions with significant populations, languages spoken and religious affiliations of a particular nationality and it would be great, if some Wikipedia user join me to get it done.--116.71.53.25 (talk) 11:16, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnic groups in the United Kingdom

Hello again. I've had my eye on Ethnic groups in the United Kingdom for a long time now with a view to completely overhauling it. There are numerous problems with the article, including a lack of sources and a general problem regarding how to define an ethnic group. At the moment it combines the census definitions with country-of-origin type groups. Do you have any ideas on how I should go about doing this? Cordless Larry (talk) 23:36, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Diaspora templates

Dear Cab

Thanks for your interest, but I tried to iplement your advice and it didn't work for Norwegians or Sri Lankans. Even your Swedish example didn't work. I tried coping and pasting your noinclude on all of these and it still didn't work. I may just abandon the whole project. --Dudeman5685 (talk) 03:16, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
