[edit] Population numbers

I wasn't the one that initially put in the numbers that were removed from the template and don't know where they came from BUT the template as it is now is virtually unusable as it greatly misinforms readers as to the type and extent of the Polish diaspora. It is ridiculous that the current template implies that Brazil is the third most populous destination of Poles around the world. That is blatantly wrong and does a disservice to wikipedia. I suggest restoring the old numbers, removing the citations next to them and distinctly marking them as unsourced estimates. This way the counties can be compared in some more relative terms and the template can become useful. JRWalko 02:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
