[edit] Chippewa Falls + Eau Claire

A question: what was the source listing Chippewa Falls as a suburb of Eau Claire, Wisconsin? I've never heard it described as such, until seeing it here in WP. -- Cleduc 02:29, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I believe that I got that information from the Census Bureau through this site: (It's down right now, but the EPA just listed all of the communities in each urbanized area determined by the Cenusus Bureau. They've also got good maps of the Census Bureau's urbanized areas. By my definition, smaller communities in an urbanized area are suburbs; that makes, for example, Newark, New Jersey a suburb of New York City. Eau Claire, Wisconsin is a smaller urbanized area, and Chippewa Falls is its only significant suburb (>10,000 population).

[edit] Template:Virginia

I do not agree with the changes in the Template:Virginia. Washington DC is not a major city of Virginia, its not even in Virginia. And, how does one include Roanoke and exclude many larger cities? Please explain, and perhaps we can work out the bugs. Vaoverland 06:23, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Template:New Mexico

Great job reformatting the template. I had been trying to do something similar for a long time now, but just couldn't get it to work right. Keep up the good work. --ABQCat 00:23, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)


Thanks, but obviously the Powers that Be disagree with me, so I must have erred seriously, I know not how. Dufekin 21:20, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

You know, I think the reversion may have been to bring things in line with standards that some arbitrary self-appointed committee has arbitrarily decided upon. Your layout was more readable, more aesthetic, and generally just more useful. I'd contact User:Neutrality about the reversion and see why he reverted it. Typically we give reasons around here for reversions - so I was surprised that Neutrality didn't. In any event, the layout you made is much nicer in my opinion. It fixes that darned flag's placement. --ABQCat 04:28, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Further research - if the reversion was based simply upon standards, it should be noted that there ARE no standards for the state templates. Template:Arizona shares the layout with the original New Mexico template, but Template:Nevada is similar to the layout that you used. Seriously - ask the reverter what's going on. I think the newer layout is a lot easier to read. --ABQCat 04:31, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Airports

Dufekin, I just wanted to point out that Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports has a general and consistent style guide for airport articles, and so far the consensus has been to not wikilink destination airports in the airline list. If you'd like to change that, I'd suggest leaving a note on the wikiproject talk page and making your suggestion known. Great work otherwise though! FCYTravis 02:00, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] old hurricanes

Please add inline sources [1] for any new information you add. (I know most information currently there does not have inline sources. This is a major flaw in those articles that, eventually, will be fixed.) — jdorje (talk) 06:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: 15th century in United States history

I've nominated the article 15th century in United States history for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that 15th century in United States history satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/15th century in United States history. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of 15th century in United States history during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion.

Wanted to let you know that one of the reasons this article and 14th century in United States history is that there was no such thig as the United States before 1776, and it would be simply inaccurate to say anything happened to/in the United States in the 15-17th Centuries. You might have a stronger case for keeping the articles if they were renamed Xth Century in North American history. Ytny 22:50, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History pages

Try to add more historical content to those year of U.S history pages as it's currently an borderline A1 in the speedy critiria. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 03:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Also don't create those pages only to tell the life of William Zorach and other people only. Expand the article instead. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 03:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources for Medieval Maritime Culture

You didn't provide any. Could you? I had to delete several of the sentences that appeared rather dubious. More statements that also appear to be dubious will be deleted soon if sources (reliable ones, not secondary sources that don't use notes/references) are not provided by tomorrow.
