[edit] Regions with significant populations

I think the Regions with significant populations section has been miss-understood, this section is supposed to list UK towns, cities and counties with significant and large Arab populations, not countries with large British populations or whatever this list is supposed to be. If this is a list containing how many people from their respective country live in the UK, then this list should be located elswhere in the article (also, why are the 250,000 Iraqi's not mentioned?????).

[edit] Improvement

This article needs some serious improvement, since some of the articles (e.g. Moroccan Britons) were deleted, which were perfectly acceptable, the 1 million British Arabs are represented by this short and lacking article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.210.62.126 (talk) 21:24, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 20:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Arab Britons → British Arabs — This page was moved from 'British Arabs' to 'Arab Britons' on the grounds that (a) the latter is used by UK national statistics and (b) that 'British Arabs' means 'Arab people of British descent'. However, I can find no evidence for the former claim (correct me if I'm wrong) and uses of this term outside Wikipedia are very rare; in practice Arabic people in Britain seem to call themselves "British Arabs". This can be demonstrated by the National Association of British Arabs, the British Arabs Resource Council, for example. —Cop 663 (talk) 14:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.


[edit] British Tunisians

The number stated is 40,000, which is most likely highly incorrect, and the link in the citation does not state this, anywhere. I'm removing this subsection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.5.194.88 (talk) 22:07, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
