Comment moved from {{Merge being discussed}} to its talk page
I just noticed that your comment § Article for deletion was included on every talk page that uses this template. I've moved it out of the template and onto the template talk page. Please take care when commenting on templates! Your comment may also be more usefully directed to one of the WikiProjects that relate to that article.

A tag has been placed on Category:Census-designated places in Jefferson County, Mississippi indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

Sorry re Highwood, Illinois
Regarding the [Illinois edit], I must have missed your response initially. I am working on a somewhat-delayed project of getting all places (incorporated and unincorporated census-designated places, but not yet including minor civil divisions [townships in states that have them]) updated with 2020 Census data, using the CenPop semi-automated script which I have developed off and on over the last 6-7 years.
As part of the 2020 Census update, I was hoping to automate to the maximum extent possible replacing the "as of the year census, the population was xxx" (and variants) with 2020 data for those many articles from places that rarely get updated. To avoid leaving up incorrect references (i.e. to previous decade populations), I had the script removing references subsequent to the "as of ..." sentence.
I could probably add an exception to leave it alone if it already says as of 2020 (or whichever decade, 2030 will be on us soon enough lol).
However, a safer and more comprehensive alternative would be to insert a reference of my own (linking back to the US Census API) after the script's newly inserted "as of most recent census, [current population]." Would you be okay with this latter alternative or should I just try to do the exception above to not mess with references people have already put in for this decade?
(For now, I've disabled the part of the script that does "as of year Census" replacements. Waiting on your reply). Thanks. DemocraticLuntz (talk) 17:32, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, Sorry i am a little late. I just started a new job. I think what you are doing is great. Just a few questions. Does the script automatically populate (and remove info) or are you populating some or all of it yourself? Where do you hold the link to the population that you are updating? How does someone know that you updated the density calculation and that is not just a leftover density amount from the 2010 census? Could you show an example of what you are proposing? Patapsco913 (talk) 15:16, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- I hope you don't mind if I add to this discussion here. I noticed that you've been changing some population density calculations back to "auto" in city infoboxes. Just be aware that the "auto" calculation is inaccurate, as it calculates the density over the total area rather than the accepted practice of calculating density on land area only. Would you be interested in taking a stab at fixing the calculation? (It's well beyond my capabilities and apparently most others' as well.) Another option, which I've used in the past for population estimates, is to add the comment "as of __year__" next to the density figure. What do you think? --Ken Gallager (talk) 14:40, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Ken Gallagher, hmmm that is a problem although I think User:DemocraticLuntz is fixing with a bot that is updating the population with the 2020 census number as well as the geographies and the density. Hopefully he is using the land area rather than the total area if that is the consensus.Patapsco913 (talk) 20:44, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- It's unclear to me what should I be changing it to? (I am pretty sure I have the script setting it to auto for uniformity and it sounds like that's causing problems). Also either way, it sounds like the solution is to fix the settlement infobox template? DemocraticLuntz (talk) 00:49, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi User:DemocraticLuntz, perhaps Ken Gallager should start a discussion at Template talk:Infobox settlement and Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Census to propose changing the auto formula to land area alone for the density calculation if that is the consensus. A problem could arise if the land area is not set although I believe your bot will populate that. Patapsco913 (talk) 01:00, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- It should be possible to program it to display nothing if land area is not set (i.e. for newly created municipalities/census designated places/etc), but yes, my script is linked into the Census Gazetteer files and updates to the latest land/water/total areas.
- Does someone have an idea of who to petition for access to template programming and modification? I have long wanted to add a [All data is from (links to previous Censuses) unless otherwise specified to the US Census population templates.

I found three discussions in the topic.
- to calculate population density based on land area
- "Auto" density should compute based on land area, not total area
- the density from land area instead of total area

County flags in infoboxes
Hi there. For settlements, please don't add county level flags to the infoboxes. Per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG only the country and first level subdivision (in this case state) may have flags. So the county flag cannot be shown in the infobox. Thanks. Canterbury Tail talk 19:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry, I did not know that. I started because someone linked the county flag to a non-free image so I fixed it. Other counties had like half of the entities with county flags so I added a bunch. My original task was to go through all the new CDPs in New Jersey and setting them up with population, proper info boxes, proper categories, elevation, and GNIS numbers. I will not add anymore county flags but it does seem like a strange rule that will just lead to people adding flags and others removing them.Patapsco913 (talk) 20:11, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Well flags are discouraged, but not banned at the other administrative levels, also per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG. At the end of the day the flags in infoboxes are so small as to be practically useless and just distracting blocks of colour. Many settlement articles, even in the US, don't any as they're just noise which is why they're discouraged in general. Are you able to go through and clear out all the flags you added? Canterbury Tail talk 20:27, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- I can work through them as I work through the CDPs. I think there are only 4 counties with free use flags in New Jersey.Patapsco913 (talk) 20:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

On 11 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Marc Fogel, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that American teacher Marc Fogel was sentenced to 14 years in Russian prison for possessing a small amount of marijuana, but has gotten little public attention compared to Brittney Griner? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Marc Fogel. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Marc Fogel), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Justin Ishbia
Hi, Patapsco913. As you're the creator of the Justin Ishbia Wikipedia article, I'm reaching out to see if you can review a request I've made to correct his birth year and add a few relevant details to the article. The full request is at Talk:Justin_Ishbia. In short, in addition to a hopefully pretty quick correction to his birth year in the article introduction, I'm suggesting adding a mention of the soccer team he has invested in, and some major donations he's made that have good media coverage. I'm making the request as someone with a financial conflict of interest, since I work for Shore Capital Partners. Is there any chance you could look at this? Thank you for your help.

Hello. As of writing this, there are 29 entries at Special:LintErrors/self-closed-tag and 28 of those are because you've improperly "closed" the HTML tag for small element (e.g. diff, diff).
