Philadelphia and Baltimore neighborhoods

edit

Hey, nicw work on the neighborhood articles, seems that you either know alot abut these cities or that you know how to do some good research. Was considering though, about renaming the Baltimore articles to the same naming convention like that of the Philadelphia articles, the XX, Baltimore, Maryland. It seems to be the perferd convention for city neighborhoods, for the most part their are some exceptions, and i think it might look a bit better. Figure i get your input as your doing some work on the articles, before i go and start making the moves. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 21:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • Yes, change away! I was actually wondering about that when I began writing the Baltimore neighborhood articles, but I'm a bit of a newbie so I didn't feel comfortable making a radical change to the naming convention that's prescribed in the main neighborhoods article.

Thank you for your good work on the Inclusionary zoning article. It needed the significant expansion you gave to it, as do many others related to Affordable housing. Castellanet 23:25, 28 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Delaware Valley

edit

Hey i see that you cleaned up alot of the pov on in thr Demographics section of that article, thanks. I figure i give you a head up on that being that you seems to have, at least apparent form your editing, of demographic issues, especially when it comes to Pennsylvania. Their is a user that likes to make outlandish claims and basically provide false information and sources that do not match the information he states. I have basically labeled him the PA Demographic Vandal, he edits under an ip, recently as 72.81.90.246, but his editing spans back to at least early February. I first came across him on the Pennsylvania article, you might want to see the talk page for the discussion on the edits. He also seems to focus on the counties of Philly as well, mostly Montgomery. So i figure i give you a heads up, encase you come across him again, basically i would take any info that he posts as being false, and if he provides a source, verify with that source.

I also just caught you response to my Baltimore Neighborhood question, i hadn't did anything because i had not her back from you. I don't usually check the pages of user i post questions to. So ill go ahead and make the changes, though i might put something in the list article so if other editors want to chime in. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 08:01, 11 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Source of demographic data

edit

I've noticed several updates to pages providing information on demographic data for various municipalities, but no sources were provided. I'm not questioning the information, but I would love to see the sources and add them as appropriate to the pages where the data has been used. Alansohn 03:59, 16 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Wow, Passdoubt! I created this category a few weeks ago and began adding the cat to pertinent articles (found mostly in related List pages) a couple of days ago. I came back to it today (having gotten as far as Akron, Alabama last time) and found you've begun adding them too! Suddenly it seems like half as much work :) You seem to be covering the 'Communities' list so I'll head over to the 'Counties' list and continue. Athaenara (talk) 21:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

List of U.S. cities with most households without a car

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of U.S. cities with most households without a car, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Proposed deletion of Ellen McCarthy

edit
 

The article Ellen McCarthy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable administrator. Lots of people are the directors of adminstration at lots of places. That does not make them notable.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
