[edit] Where is the research?

I don't see much evidence of a connection between this article and research on ethnic enclaves. You know, Portes, etc. --Htw3 04:11, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notes

Off to a decent start but there is room for improvement.

  • You need to cite your source on the first sentence of the page.
  • You should probably include information about how ethnic enclaves impact relations between immigrant communities and broader American society.
  • Another question you may address is whether or not the nature of ethnic enclaves has changed over time. For instance, have some types of ethnic enclaves vanished? Have new types arisen? How has changing technology impacted ethnic enclaves? (Think about how things like satelite television and the internet have enabled immigrants to stay in touch with their home countries.)
  • Finally you could investigate how ethnic enclaves impact the rate of assimilation of different cultures.

Otherwise keep up the good work.

[edit] Choose area of focus - US or world?

I'm not sure if it works to go back and forth in describing the buildup of ethnic enclaves in the US vs. other countries. The timing has been different. While some principles may be the same, there is also sufficient variation to make it too much of a generalization. If there is going to be an attempt to cover all ethnic enclaves in one article, there should be more history given (immigration and ethnic enclaves didn't start in the late 19th or 20th c.), and it should be clear when references are for US locations, or for other nations.--Parkwells (talk) 20:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

In Wikipedia, we can't CHOOSE, unless we want to move the page to Ethnic enclaves in the US. If it's to remain at the current title, it must adopt a global perspective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.251.67.67 (talk) 22:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
