74 % Germans ?

I removed the pie chart from the "Ethnic minorities" section because the number of "Germans" and the number of repatriates were unsourced. I also changed "Germans" in the table to "Without migrant background" and removed the flag of Germany from that line. The source "Bevölkerung und Erwerbstätigkeit ..." by the German statistics authority (destatis) has a very clear idea of who is German: A person having a German citizenship. If some WP editors have a different idea, they have to base that idea on reliable sources and reference those sources. An essentialist conception of Germanness (you become a German by having "German blood") is being rejected by all major political groups in Germany, even by the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland.

I wonder what ethnicity does a person have whose ancestors are German and who doesn't have any other ethnicity? In your opinion a German ethnicity does not exist and you do changes and removals of the mentioning of German ethnicity on all pages. What is the ethnicity of these people in your opinion?

There are no sources because you literally remove or contest all sources someone brought to Wikipedia and you only do that selectively for German ethnicity. 2A01:C22:BDD8:1100:733C:1C7:17D9:F528 (talk) 12:59, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Vital Statistics 2023

It is September, there are no vital statistics for 2023. Please delete! Berni229 (talk) 10:54, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I would say so, too. A population number for the beginning of the year makes sense, but births and deaths are unknown and extrapolating the extant data to the full year makes no sense.--Chaptagai (talk) 08:59, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Missing Current vital statistics? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.203.135.67 (talk) 11:05, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Germans without immigrant background

It says on the pie chart on the "Ethnic minorities and migrant background (Migrationshintergrund)" section that Germans without immigrant background are 81.3%, but it says in the text right next to it that the actual number is 71.3% year 2022 (latest stats). The rest of the numbers on the pie chart are actually correct and updated to year 2022, but the number about specifically germans without immigrant backgrounds is not, and it's taken from the old number from 2005, which is clearly seen if you look at the stats throughout the years.

There's more Germans in total than that of course today, but it clearly states in the source added to the number on the pie chart that this means specifically with people without"immigrant background" and not that it means all Germans. So in short, the rest of the numbers are correct, but it should say "71.3%" for Germans on the pie chart since it means "without immigrant background", so it fits with the actual stats showed on the left, which are from year 2022.

Someone please fix both the pie chart graphic and the information. Thanks! MeManBlaze (talk) 17:42, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit: This error is now fixed!

Number of Births in Current Vital Statistics are wrong

The number of births for 2024 in "Current Vital Statistics" are a mismatch with the numbers given in the source. Before I go ahead and correct it, is there a reason why we put a higher number than the authorities? 77.37.5.243 (talk) 10:19, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
