Georgia Populations Estimates

Hi Phantomsku. I noticed that you have been adding 2005 census stats to Georgia counties articles. I am not questioning the accuracy of the information, but can you tell me where you got it from? I am a resident of Walker County, and I was interested in more recent data. Prometheus^-X303- 22:19, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Got your reply. Thanks, and happy editing! Prometheus^-X303- 23:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Escambia County, Florida

Same deal here as above. I'm happy to have new data, but I'd like to reference it. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 16:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I got my info from the Census Website, under the Estimates Category. Then selected counties, folowed by selecting Florida. [1]. I'm super new to this, not sure if this is how I respond or not. you can reference it if youd like. I'm just a pop freak and wanted to update these places.

You got responding to someone right. I like to thoroughly reference things, especially if it's a new article. There are people on WP that will {{prod}} or {{speedy}} delete any new articles you write because they're "not notable" unless they have a billion sources :( ... I've actually had a new article I've made deleted while I was editing it, maybe a minute after I'd made it. Talk about frustrating. So, yeah, references are the only tool you have to combat excessive deletionism. See WP:CITE (and my favorite method of doing so, WP:FOOT) for more on how to use them. If you have any other questions or need help, just ask me :) —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 19:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Formatting

Just wanted to ask: when you're converting to the 2006 data, could you please use the <ref> and </ref> tags? Thanks! Nyttend 13:18, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
