Added additional detail to clarify the two-part nature of requesting race and ethnicity information (delivered together). Updated preview and reference to preview to reflect guidance.
Created changelog for reference correction.

De-indented copy block, changed link to html vs. markdown because of rendering issues in list.
Capitalize Census in reference. Add missing period.
