Talk:Demographics of Kosovo

In every country or people group, people born decades earlier eventually die, meanwhile in Kosovo you have decades long birth numbers between 40 and 50 000, but decades later only 9 -8 000 people die. Its unnatural, while birth rate is dropping from nearly 60 000 in late 80s and early 90s, to today's 22 000, death rate stays same as in 50s and 40s. In every other demographic chart you can see that by those numbers death rate in Kosovo would be between 40 000 and 50 000 people in last decade. If only 8-9 000 people die it would mean that the population of Kosovo is more akin to 200-300 000 people and not 1.7 or 1.8 million.

An updated population pyramid of Kosovo is needed for this article to be consistent with other articles about Demographics of countries.Bird Vision (talk)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Demographics of Kosovo's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:06, 1 June 2023 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello,

I noticed that the article mentions Kosovo population data from 1961. However, I couldn't find a clear source for this information in the references. Could someone clarify where this data comes from? If the source is already listed, I would appreciate it if you could point me to the specific reference.

From what I know, population data before 1961 and later years is available in Serbian annual statistics, but only in thousands. However, in the article, the data from 1961 is provided as exact numbers. This raises the question of where the precise figures for 1961 come from.

I also reached out to the editor who added this data on February 11, 2011 (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Demographics_of_Kosovo&oldid=940340061) for clarification. Here is the link to their contributions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/79.143.166.52.

If the source is missing or unclear, would it be worth adding a citation or discussing this further to ensure the article's reliability?

Thank you for your help! 78.45.28.225 (talk) 13:52, 27 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
