Hello, I'm I am One of Many. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Morris, Manitoba, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Morris, Manitoba. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Skol fir (talk) 18:19, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

I really don't know much about how all of this works, other than when facts are posted here that are verifiable, and not necessarily clearly verified by the actual citation included, the info should still be allowed to stand on its own. StatsCan is a reliable source, and the info taken from it was most certainly fact-checked prior to being posted. It is not original research, it is pointing out facts borne out in the information provided and cited. What is your real problem with the facts as they were presented? Can you advise a better way of putting up this factual information with the citation provided so as to not have it deleted again and again? It doesn't appear to me to be synthesized information to advance a position. It is simply facts placed here to add some truthful context to the full picture of Morris, MB. Finally, if I was to do original research (which I have done) to verify the information I posted, and posted it here, it would be deleted because original research is not allowed. So that being said, why delete it at all in this case if the information is verifiable and can be easily checked by a quick search through the 2011 Census information? If you have a problem with something positive being posted about Morris, MB, that's your own problem, just like it's my problem if people post things that are negative about Morris, MB. I fail to see why this required deletion.
