Your edits to Template:African American ethnicity
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. When you updated the numbers on this template, you missed a few important things:
 * Note #2 still says that the template is using 2005 numbers, but you have edited the template so that it's now using 2009 numbers.
 * You didn't actually change the references titles or other information. You just changed the URLs. The problem with this is that pages on the internet move around and disappear. We include the title, publication date, and other vital information so that users can find the source cited even if the webpage has moved or been taken offline. When you change a reference in a Wikipedia article, please make sure you edit the entire reference rather than just change the URL.

I've pasted a welcome message below that has some useful links to get you started. Natalie (talk) 21:50, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
