I think the article needs a summary section right after the lede (or maybe just an extended lede). It should give information like how many countries (a) now collect, and (b) have ever collected, data on race. It appears that very few ever have, but it's very hard going through a couple hundred countries in the article to piece this together. Also relevant would be approximately how many countries do or do not currently collect ethnicity data; approximately how many countries actually use the data for particular purposes; etc. Duoduoduo ( talk) 14:25, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
The article list multiple countries as "[Country X] has not enumerated people by ethnicity since at least 1945" 'cited' to this UN document: [1]. I have checked the first five such countries (Andorra, Austria, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Burkina Faso) and in no case is the country mentioned in the document at all, from what I can see. I would like to see an explanation for why this source is apparently being misused in this manner. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 18:50, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Well, no response from the person who was sloppy in misrepresenting in the sources, even though he's done around 50 edits elsewhere since my posting above. So I'll start fixing things myself, even though I really think that should be done by the editor who created the mess in the first place. Duoduoduo ( talk) 14:45, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

It incorrectly shows Australia as a country "where the ethnicity or race of people was enumerated in at least one census since 1991". The text for Australia later in the article (under Oceania) correctly says it has classified people only "by ancestry since 1986". HiLo48 ( talk) 22:54, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
