BC Stats population estimates
Hello, I'm Hwy43. I noticed that you made a change to an article, West Kelowna, involving substitution of the latest federal census (Statistics Canada) population with a recent population estimate from BC Stats. It's since been removed per WP:CANPOP, which states "the population figure from the last official Statistics Canada census is the primary and definitive source for population data in articles." This allows for consistent comparison among all municipalities and communities across Canada. Do note however that the recent BC Stats population estimate is already listed in the infobox next to the "2016 pop. est." heading per WP:CANPOP, which further states "... for the sake of consistency across all municipalities, the infobox's population = field should reflect the federal census figure, while its population_blank1 = field can be used for intercensal updates." If you need guidance on including population figures on Canadian articles, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
