Distinguishing between Jewish ethnicity, Jewish religion, and who the State of Israel considers as Jewish is not an easy task.
But it would be a good start to sort this out *before coming up with "statistics" wouldnt it?
The statistics already exist; I don't have the means to do my own poll. Now it's just a question of whether to add them to Wikipedia, and if so, in what form and with what explanation. So far, you're the only one to object, and not on any specific reason to distrust the statistics, but just on a general distrust of Israel. For the nth time, this will be explained in detail in an article linked to from the bot's articles.
This is great. I'll be sure to include those, under "External Links".
Ah. Such effortless effort should be noted for its notability.
;) ~S~
What exactly are you objecting to?
Well your right about us getting too carried away. On the other hand, your avoiding the issue --- this thread was about en masse stats uploaded via a bot.
I'm not avoiding the issue. I've posted explanations of the demographic categories in a couple of different messages, and I'll expand upon that in the article which will be linked to from all the bot-generated articles. If you can't find the explanations, I'll collect them and repost them. If you have any specific objections, I'd like to hear them. If you have any specific questions that I haven't answered, ask away.
Unless there is a bot to go around and correct these, I think we can let my statement stand that we should pinch our collective nose at the odium of smelly statistics.
Of course, it will be a very simple matter to have a bot go around and correct/update these articles, if needed (much simpler than creating the articles in the first place). "We're" not pinching our collective nose at anything. I think that you need a better objection than just a general dislike for Israel.
