Talk:Demography

Richard: your link to your own resource doesn't work! --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 10:55, 30 May 2007 (CDT)Also, could we abbreviate the section on Malthus slightly, and refer the reader to the page Malthusianism, instead of the detail being here? --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 11:00, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

oops--fixed the link. I will shorten the Malthus section Richard Jensen 11:18, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

Richard, I have the best recent population stats from UN and UNDP. It is better to avoid the CIA world factbook. I started to put the population data on a testpage for all countries [Countries of the World] but we need to include some demographic data too. The question is whther to have a special page of data attached to Demography, or link to a new Countries of the World page with a lot of data. Your thoughts? By hte way, if you can give me an email address, I will email some Excel files to you...--Martin Baldwin-Edwards 12:00, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

tables and images

Having the demographic as in line text is not great. I am not great at Adobe illustrator but I have the program and I will see what I can do in turning that text into images that we can put on the page laid out with text around them. Wish me luck and don't make fun of me. (too much) Nancy Sculerati 12:20, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

Help! I uploaded [1] I can't get it to show up. Can you help? Nancy Sculerati 12:33, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

I think you have to wikify tables. I will try to do this with the UN data, which I have already put on Countries of the World. Give me 20 minutes to try it!--Martin Baldwin-Edwards 13:06, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

But it'ds just a gif- it shouldn't matter what's on it. Nancy Sculerati 13:37, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

Well, I have tried to paste the text, which also has links to country pages. It is impossible to do this easily, and as you can see the columns are not good. Can someone with this technical knowledge please help?, because it is very unprofessional in appearance.. --Martin Baldwin-Edwards 13:40, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
