Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Lafayette, Louisiana, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 03:49, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Adakiko! I’m Chuck. Thank you for you kind, polite message. I’m new to editing on Wikipedia. In retrospect, I should have added a comment about what I was removing on the Lafayette page for the other contributors. I didn’t see this message until a few minutes ago after I went and edited the Lafayette page again. I removed a reference to Lafayette overtaking Shreveport as it seemed irrelevant to the overall city data. I kept that it’s the 3rd largest metro area in the state as that definitely is relevant information. I did add an explanation to my most recent edit.

I had also removed info about Lafayette being the Happiest city in the US from the “overview” section. I see that that info is there again and I left that alone. I’ll let the other contributors decide but to me, the fact that that designation was from 2014 and it’s 2022 now, that information seems stale and out of date. I could see it being relevant under the section of the Wiki page titled “history.” Chuck12345678910 (talk) 17:58, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
