Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media.

- For census citations in particular, please make sure to place them in the
population_footnotespart of the infobox; the estimates should be blanked, but the parameters retained so that they can easily be updated. SounderBruce 07:11, 13 March 2024 (UTC)- Also, how do I edit the infobox without removing a bunch of stuff? AleXYZ-510 (talk) 21:18, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry about these mistakes. I'm new here at editing. Is it that I have to use better sources for these populations? AleXYZ-510 (talk) 21:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- The Census Bureau source is fine, and your edit to Clyde Hill was much better. I've made some tweaks in this edit that you should follow as you update other articles, namely using repeat citations and the proper date. The work is much appreciated, there is such a large backlog nationally. SounderBruce 22:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! Let me know if I make more mistakes. I hope to be a helpful contributor here. AleXYZ-510 (talk) 22:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Just another note: citations should be placed after punctuation, rather than before. I have also modified some of the citations added to Washington CDPs to be more clear. SounderBruce 23:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
