Logic or WP:POV pushing[edit]

@BowlAndSpoon and Loxley: Please explain why a stub about a village in Lithuania suddenly doubled in size from:

Lapės is a small town in Kaunas County in central Lithuania. In 2001 it had a population of 1038.

to

Lapės (Polish: Łopie) is a small town in Kaunas County in central Lithuania. In 2001 it had a population of 1038. In 1922 90% of the village population declared themselves Polish.[1]

How many people lived in Lapės/Łopie in 1922. What is the relevance of 90% of the population 'identifying' as Polish? How many identified as Polish in 2001? How many lived there in 1943; 1953; 1959; 1987; 1999? What percentage identified as Polish, Lithuanian, Chinese, German, etc. in those years? Do you have the outcomes of every census ever held there. If so, should there be a table for every census and ethnicity per self-identification? Does it not look utterly ludicrous to toss two unrelated sentences together in a tiny stub: small town in Lithuania with population of 1038 people in 2001 + 90% of the village population declared themselves Polish in 1922. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:09, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
