At the article List of U.S. states and territories by historical population, you added data for the U.S. territories (such as Puerto Rico). Can you provide a source for that data and then put the source in the article? Thanks LumaP15 ( talk) 03:31, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

The statistics were drawn from each year's census report, all available from www.census.gov, as is all of the rest of the data on the page. I don't think it is necessary to additional sources for the territorial census data beyond what is provided for the state census data. Perhaps there should be a note/reference at the top of each column, or as a footer, linking to each year's census data. Carter ( talk) 21:49, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

I tried to repair what I think was an ungrammatical construction, from Welsh and Scottish Gaelic have been granted co-official languages alongside English → Welsh and Scottish Gaelic have been nominated as co-official languages alongside English, apparently introducing a word with another meaning than I intended to use. Thanks for the removal of nominated and providing a grammatically sound alternative. Redav ( talk) 02:25, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for working to fix the grammar. It was good to get the citation in there, too, so thank you for raising attention to the issue. Carter ( talk) 13:30, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

I kindly invite you to the discussion on Template talk:Infobox election#The Bolding issue to decide whether to bold the winner in the election infobox. Lmmnhn ( talk) 19:20, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Languages#Requested_move_15_March_2020, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. -- Soumyabrata ( talk • subpages) 14:58, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Hey can you update the 2020 house map to make IL03 dark blue since lipinski was defeat? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RaySwifty18 ( talk • contribs) 17:40, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Updated ... Carter ( talk) 18:00, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

The article Sámi Dieđalaš Áigečála has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Randykitty, I've added a non-selfreferential source showing the frequency of publishing in SDÁ. I will continue to seek out additional sources. SDÁ is notable as it is the first, if not the only, peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing only in Northern Sámi. There is not much written about the journal itself, but it is widely cited in books and articles discussing Sámi issues, languages, culture, etc. Carter ( talk) 17:13, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sámi Dieđalaš Áigečála is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sámi Dieđalaš Áigečála until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Randykitty ( talk) 19:12, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
