Houston population
Hi Student of the Game:

In regard to your edit of Houston on 16 November 2017‎, the number that you changed for the 2010 Census should remain in place until the 2020 population has been released. Likewise, I believe the population density number is based on the 2010 population count. You obviously made this edit in good faith. I have made a similar edit in the past, and did so in error.

There is certainly value in having the latest population estimates. That's why the article records both the 2010 census population and the estimate from the 2016 American Community Survey. The WP:infobox, where you edited the 2010 figure, also contains information for 2016 a few lines down. Also, a box documenting the population of Houston within the Demographics section also includes the 2016 estimate.

I am not an important editor with Wikipedia. And I still make plenty of mistakes. One more thing, if I may be bold enough to suggest: it might be a good idea to read the whole article before editing. This way, you can spot and consider redundancies or inconsistencies before you edit. I am sorry to say that I also learned this the hard way.

I am reverting the edit, which means that I am deleting your changes. There are many other editors with more experience than me, but please let me know if I can be of assistance. Sincerely, Oldsanfelipe (talk) 11:09, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
