 * Hi - in addition to the standard welcome template above, I wanted to explain how to cite sources properly. Captain Medusa reverted you above because you inserted a link to the census data as an external link, rather than an in-line citation. I know that sounds pernickety, but actually most of the time people do that, it's because they're vandals inserting a link to a dodgy website, or people trying to advertise a product or company. Recent changes patrollers like myself and Captain Medusa revert stuff like that on the spot - I was about to revert your changes myself, but I took a closer look and saw what you were doing.
 * Rather than using an external link, the correct way to cite data like this is via an in-line citation. If you look at the top of the editing window, you'll see a little 'cite' option - if you click on that, you can then choose from a number of templates. The right one for the census data is 'Cite Web' - then, you just fill in the URL, publisher, title, access date (i.e. when you looked at it), etc. That way is better because (a) the reference will appear in the list at the bottom of the article, (b) if the U.S. Census Bureau change their website address slightly, it makes it easier for another editor to recover the link, and (c) it's a lot less likely to get reverted!
 * I hope that makes sense - drop me a note on my talk page if you have any questions, and thanks again for your contributions. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  18:28, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
