There are a number of libraries around that are depositories of UN documents, the Denver Public Library for one. But to get this back on track as far as it being a mailing list topic. A reference given to support something in Wikipedia should be to a page in a readily accessable document, not to something that might be found if one searches an extensive document.
In this case there is a middleman, which one might use if that person gave an adequate reference. (In his written work, not after calling him up and asking for one).

Nevertheless....I offer to consult the original UN documents (if I have them; I think I do) to see if the 472,000 figure appears there and in what context. If the number is not there, I'll refute the claim that it is. If it is there, I'll quote it in context.
Thanks, Zero. Your return to these pages would be most welcome, though I understand your reasons for leaving.
Jay.
