Population
May I ask where you're coming up with the population figures you provided in this edit to Des Moines, Iowa? Please do not change them unless you can verify these figures through reliable sources, as any editor can revert them. Thanks, --Iowahwyman 21:53, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * pardon me iowa highway man or whatever that stands for but who are you on this website? are you a certified editor? by the way the des moines metro area is constantly growing so ,you have no input or revision to make on that. thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Treyl719 (talk • contribs).
 * I'm not a "certified" editor or anything of that sort. I'm just trying to do my part to make sure the information in Wikipedia is accurate and backed up by reliable sources. I searched Google and couldn't find another source for the population figure you gave. The most recent official estimate from the United States Census Bureau was 194,163 from 2005. Estimates for 2006 have not been released yet, and they probably won't be out for a month or two. Also, the Metropolitan Statistical Area population is not the same as the Combined Statistical Area population since an MSA and a CSA are two different things. Yes, the Des Moines area is growing, but we need to make sure that we have the facts to back that up.
 * I'm not trying to bite here. I'm just trying to make sure that you know that any editor -- not just myself -- can revert your edits if they feel that the edits aren't factually accurate. --Iowahwyman 22:40, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
