On the 2nd of April 2022 I inserted the following text in the Britain section, but it was reverted by one mvbaron only 54 minutes later: "In 2006 David Coleman, a professor of demography at Oxford University, published an article called "Immigration and Ethnic Change in Low-Fertility Countries", in which he wrote: "This article explores the implications of the recent trends and projections of the ethnic or foreign-origin populations of selected European countries. It suggests that if the composition of these European populations continues to change as projected, the resulting ethnic and social transformation should be regarded as a "third demographic transition." On conservative assumptions, the foreign-origin proportions of these populations are projected to rise to between 15 percent and over 30 percent by mid-century with almost linear rates of change." Source: Immigration and Ethnic Change in Low-Fertility Countries: A Third Demographic Transition, by David Coleman, in Population and Development Review, Vol. 32, No. 3 (Sep., 2006), pp. 401-446 (46 pages), published by the Population Council https://www.jstor.org/stable/20058898". mvbaron claimed it was "irrelevant". I don't understand how an article about ethnic substitution can be irrelevant to the topic of ethnic substitution. I tried to reinsert the text, but in vain.
