The UN data is inconsistent with many sources. Many of the notes of 2005 already point that out. Just copy them. -- Nic Roets ( talk) 07:36, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

The UK being between France & Germany in the table, & all being within 10%-20% means these three countries should be the same colour. The map however makes it appear like the percentage of Britain's population is made up of fewer migrants when this is not the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.222.79.190 ( talk) 03:33, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
After backing out the Native American population (less than 10%, I believe) shouldn't all current citizens be counted as immigrants? Does this table only mean "recent" imigrants? Nearly everyone in America today traces their ancestry to Europe, Africa, Asia, et cetera? Does anyone else see it this way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.40.160.154 ( talk) 11:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

How do immigrants in UAE make up more than 100 % of the population? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.173.88.37 ( talk • contribs)
I'm thinking all of the higher than signs (>) in the Percentage of total number of immigrants in the world column, should be lower than signs (<).

The table sorts alphabetically, not numerically (1000 is ranked lower than 9, because the first digit is lower). I've tried to play about with the code along the lines described in Help:Sorting, but without success. Can anyone help? Matt 07:43, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
I think I've fixed the sorting problems now. The table used the SMS template inappropriately and aligned at the decimal point in a way that made proper sorting impossible. -- EnOreg ( talk) 05:29, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
I dont know how many precent of the swedish population is from other countries but its definetly NOT 12/100.(maybe, if you count finland-sweden immegrants? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.233.10.135 ( talk) 18:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

What about Taiwan? It has a non-gray color on the map, but isn't listed in the table. If it should be counted under China, then we should say so. 71.131.194.193 ( talk) 20:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
There are millions of foreign born citizens and immigrants in Turkey. 1.5 million is very low estimate. Only Yugoslavia and Bulgaria expelled more than one million Muslims.

I find it awfully hard to believe that there are only 156,000 immigrants in the Dominican Republic. There must be more than that from Haiti alone. Funnyhat ( talk) 05:12, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Why is Australia marked with the colour for 10-20% and not 20-50%? The percentage of Australian's born overseas is 25%, as given by on the following Australian government website (from 2008): http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/15population.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Denkealsobin ( talk • contribs) 23:55, October 19, 2009
Most articles on Wikipedia (e.g. the ones for Monaco, Demographics of Monaco etc) state that only 15-16% of the population are native Monegasques. This article presents a much larger number. Any reasons for the discrepancy? Avman89 ( talk) 19:14, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Canada has a population of only about 34 000 000 people, but we are listed as having 38 000 000 immigrants. It also says that those 38 mil. are 12.81% of the country's population which would make Canada's population 300 million.

By popular demand again the appeal: Don't update individual numbers! To keep the numbers comparable they all must be from the same year. Update all (based on a new study) or nothing.
If you have a reliable source for a new number for an individual country you can add a comment in the Notes-column, mentioning the number and referencing the source. However, don't update the numbers in the other columns unless you update all of them based on a new, consistent UN study. The lemma has 2005 in it for a reason.

The idea of 45.38 percent of the current (or 2005) population of Gaza and the West Bank being born outside of said territories is definitely overblown by at least a factor of 10. There has been no immigration to these territories to speak of since 1949. I recommend deleting, unless someone can get reality figures from a serious source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.72.9.174 ( talk) 22:58, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
I checked and found that the numbers given by the UN source appear to use a broader definition of "immigrant" (i.e., other than "people born outside their country of residence") in all countries where the UNRWA registers so called "Palestinian refugees", defined by UNRWA as both actual refugees and all of their descendants. Happy politics. As the most reputable UN is involved in this piece of flagrant propaganda and dishonesty, I do not mind if the article keeps the wrong numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Alkibiades ( talk • contribs) 20:52, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
