Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, West Des Moines, Iowa, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:54, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I found the problem, Magnolia677. I gathered the data on 12/12/2022, but I updated the information in the last 24 hours. The U.S. Census bureau updated their data in the last couple of weeks. Thus, if you were cross referencing the census data on the page with the census data from the website, then they didn't match. I'm assuming that's the issue. I should have just updated the wiki on December 12, but I didn't expect the Census to update it's data page. Clearly, I was wrong. So, if there's a specific data piece that is incorrect, please let me know, as I assume that you've been checking. Again...please don't think me as engaging in deliberate vandalism. I really hope that you understand that it is a mistake. WLRT1 (talk) 19:13, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
