Sources[edit]

This article does not cite several sources, including the 2005 population esitmate, which seems to be inaccurate as several areas within Des Moines is falling in population. Ajwebb 00:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the article and added references. --Iowahwyman 05:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lead is a highlight of article[edit]

I copied some text only in the lead to the relevant article sections. The lead is meant to be a highlight of the article, not a unique source of cited data. One confusing ref is the 2012 Factfinder from the Census, used to support 2017 estimate of population. I found a usable ref from Business Insider to replace an illegible ref, about the fast growth rate of the metro area. - - Prairieplant (talk) 22:11, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
