An interesting result, one which highlights the consistent differences between what people say on surveys, as reflected in our article (only 16% agnostic or atheist), and what they show through their behavior. Are you proposing that we add something to the article based on this source? I would support it. HiLo48 (talk) 22:55, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HiLo48 I'm unable to view the article text, but certainly welcome any appropriate article improvements. Thanks! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:01, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. HiLo48 (talk) 06:19, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Population

Washington State's Office of Financial Management provides non-census year estimates of the total population. Should this article be updated to reflect the annual population estimate that's generated by the OFM? As far as I know, it is the best source for population estimates on non-decennial years. OFM estimates that Seattle's April 1, 2023 population was 797,200. 136.27.14.127 (talk) 01:22, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For consistency with other U.S. articles, the Census Bureau's annual July 1 estimates should be used here. The OFM's projections can be used as long as the two aren't mixed together. Sounder Bruce 04:42, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected article request

In the infobox, it says that it’s the 58th largest city in North America. Could someone change that to 54th to match with the List of Largest Cities in North America article please? 2603:8080:D03:89D4:5455:7E51:D6A9:6A7C (talk) 01:06, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
