Hi.

Greetings. I see you're attempting to make some edits to the Indianapolis page. There are several issues. First, if you change cited data, you'll need to update the source as well. Second, you attempted to change the photos in the cityscape section and were reverted, you shouldn't re-attempt that same change, without discussing it on the talk page, and achieveing consensus there. Third, the picture you were attempting to insert is your own work (which is fine), but you uploaded it under a free license (the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license), so the "courtesy of" stuff would not be included in the caption, On Wikipedia attribution is provided in the page history. Fourth, your edit in the lead: [http://www.stats.indiana.edu/profiles/profiles.asp?scope_choice=a&county_changer=18000&button1=Get+Profile&id=2&page_path=Area+Profiles&path_id=11&panel_number=1 848,788] is what is known as a "raw link", which shouldn't be done. If you'd like to add a citation, please use that format. Fifth, and finally, census figures are only to come from the census bureau. State and local governments can inflate/deflate figures. Take a look at the above links which the other editor welcomed you with. Wikipedia can be confusing, but if you ask questions, you'll find that most editors will help you.
