Thank you

Just wanted to thank you for all the census updates you’ve done. It’s an under appreciated job, but an important one! Grey Wanderer (talk) 18:26, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Citations

Thanks for the census update, but please use the same style of citation that was already present in the article. You can automatically harmonize whitespace in citations using this script. SounderBruce 03:35, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Yes, please use the script to update the reference also. Thank you, - FlightTime (open channel) 18:13, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
Thank you :) this is exactly the way it should be done :) Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 04:48, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
Again, please fill out the citations. It would be extremely helpful to include the Census Bureau as publisher and add May 2019 (the date for the release of city-level datasets). SounderBruce 23:57, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Please format your citations using a template to avoid link rot. See my example at Stanwood, Washington#Demographics. SounderBruce 05:56, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Please stop

Please stop adding data for the VILLAGE of Mamaroneck to the article for the TOWN of Mamaroneck. Thanks ɱ (talk) 17:35, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Stop deleting paramaters

Please stop deleting infobox parameters on the page Lexington, SC. There is a place for census data for both the 2010 official data and the 2018 estimation. Stop deleting relevant content. Any further edits will be considered vandalism (Nicholemacgregor (talk) 22:03, 11 August 2019 (UTC)).

Irvington, New York

Do not put the 2018 numbers into the infbox unless you have the correct erefernce to support them. The one you're putting in goes to a 404 page. No reference, no numbers. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:48, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

The same is true of all your 2018 numbers. I am rolliong them all back. Do not restore them without includng the correct reference. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:50, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
  • Good, now that you've fixed the reference for the Irvington article, please do the same for the thousands of other article where you added 2018 figures with ther wrong references. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:17, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Noticeboard thread about your edits

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding some alleged broken links that you have used as citations. The thread is User:TylerKutschbach - Mass rollback needed.

Using specific references for census estimate data

In this edit, after issues raised by other editors, you used a source that provides a specific number for the municipality in question. Yet in this edit, you return to the status quo ante of adding a generic source that points to data sets across the nation. Why not use more specific -- either city level or state level -- for each article, rather than merely pointing to a page that has no direct access to the data? The concerns raised by other editors regarding the source backing up the specific census estimate is legitimate.

This page from the Census Bureau has tables for each state that shows the exact data for each municipality. Why not use these in your sources? Alansohn (talk) 17:35, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
