Number: 4M or 2.8M
There is currently a bit of an
I see that Kagoikunai, here, has again changed the figure in the article from about 2.8M to his user talk page 4.1M. The edit summary of that change says The 2018 US Census data shows 4.1 million Filipino Americans, both full and partial Filipino ancestry. The 2.8 million is for full Filipino ancestry. It would be a complete disservice for those multiracial Filipino Americans to not include them in this entire population. If you’re editing this article for other reasons, please refer to actual US Census Bureau data as you would see both full and partial Filipino ancestry are counted within the same group
I have placed a warning about
Kagoikunai:
- The source cited to support your assertion that the 4.1M figure does not mention that figure, but gives a figure of 2,843,071. where is the support for your 4.1M figure?
- Where is the support for your assertion that the 4.1M figure includes Filipinos with both full and partial ancestry and the 2.8M figure includes just those with full ancestry?
Digging around, I found this U.S. Census source titled, "Census 2000 PHC-T-43. Table 1. First, Second, and Total Responses to the Ancestry Question by Detailed Ancestry Code: 2000", which gives figures of First Ancestry:1,938,790; Second Ancestry:177,688; Total:2,116,478, and I found this source which gives some information about that. Your assertions appear to contradict this. Do you have a source which would help resolve this apparent contradiction and explain these ancestry issues further?
Also, I see that you currently have a total of 457 WP edits under this username, yet you conduct yourself as an experienced editor. Are you a new WP editor or an experienced one? Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 16:53, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
I placed a {{discuss}} tag in the article, and Kagoikunai removed it, saying What’s there to discuss? Even the US State Department says, “There more than four million U.S. citizens of Philippine ancestry in the United States.” Please refer to both the Census and State Department websites as these are official data. Are you editing the Filipino American population data for your own prerogatives?
I do recall past official statements to the effect that there were more than 3.8 million Filipino illegals in the U.S. and, googling for the quote in Kagoikunai's edit summary, I found this U.S. State Dept web page where that appears. I have changed the asserted figure to "Over four million" and replaced the cite of this census bureau source which gives the 2,843,071 figure as a supporting source with a cite of that State Dept web page.
Kagoikunai: Please read
Spanish and Chevacano
This edit caught my eye. I've reverted it because Spanish has a constitutional basis along with Arabic. I also moved mention of Chavacano from among outside languages to a place which presents it as a language of the Philippines. The second part of that followed on the description of Chavacano as a Creole and info in the Creole language article saying that that is "a stable natural language that develops from the simplifying and mixing of different languages into a new one within a fairly brief period of time". I read that as Chevanaco is a language which developed in the Philippines (i.e., a Philippine language). I'm not a linguist, and what I see here gives me second thoughts about Chevanaco as a Philippine language, but I see here that Ethnologue seems to classify it that way.

Content in article introduction
Recently there's been a dispute over the proper content in the introduction. I added

Rublov made that edit here, as indicated above. I nitpickedd his edit with modifications here and here and, hopefully improved it. Kagoikunai then reverted both of us here. Since a discussion had been opened on this, with a reasonable waiting period for comment before the reverted edits had passed, I believe that the reversion was against

Infobox image
Per
The majority of FilAms do not reside in NYC, New York state, or the NY Metro area. To choose the image which FDW777 re-added is to give undue representation of that population of FilAms, and does not represent the entire FilAm population, who are the subject of this article, as a whole. It is best to return to the way it had been added.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 20:06, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- MOS:NOETHNICGALLERIES does not refer to a single image. It refers to galleries such as this one, which I actually removed. FDW777 (talk) 20:34, 14 November 2021 (UTC)]
- Quoting: "should not be illustrated by a photomontage or gallery of images". (emphasis added). Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 20:42, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- It's not a photomontage either. It's a single unmodified image. FDW777 (talk) 20:54, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- Per WP:APPNOTEI have notified relevant wikiprojects, and users of this discussion.
- Even though it is not a collection of images, part of undue weight to a portion of the population which make up less than 5% of the the total population of the ethnicity. Thus why at Demographics of Filipino Americans, no single population concentration is highlighted in the introduction section, and relevant images are included in their relevant sub-sections.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 22:06, 14 November 2021 (UTC)]
- According to the Philippine Independence Day Parade article, the New York parade is the biggest in the US. Simply because there is a larger population elsewhere than New York doesn't make that larger population a better representation of Filipino Americans. No matter where in the US they are from, and no matter how big the population is there, they are still Filipino Americans. FDW777 (talk) 17:40, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

- I agree this is a good call, not only because of the policy that RightCowLeftCoast has stated, but the removed photo is objectively very poor to illustrate the article in the first place, showing only a parade crowd. Additionally, if you look at the articles for all the major Asian American ethnic groups (or any American ethnic groups in general) they have shunned the idea of illustrating the infobox with the faces of people. - Fuzheado | Talk 00:32, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
- It's not the most exciting image, but I don't think it contravenes MOS:NOETHNICGALLERIES. On the due point, while the image certainly doesn't represent all filams, I would not expect any individual image to represent all of any group of people. That said, if a good map or other abstract image is preferred as is used in the Demographics article, it seems likely to win out on individual merits. CMD (talk) 01:38, 15 November 2021 (UTC)]
