== DYK == == New York City== You've really done most of the heavy lifting. Feel free to move my music section into "Arts" and edit it, it's not really 100% up to quality but it's not really my field. User:Kaisershatner 20:09, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC) == New York City == Two words: Wikipedia:Be bold. I have done a lot of editing on New York City before, but specifically the subway. Frankly, the organisation of the New York City page is awful, and it should never have been allowed to spawn to 62k. User:PZFUN 06:12, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC) : Oh, and one other thing. Articles with 300px images: MTR (featured), Johannesburg (featured), and South Africa (featured). How's that? ==Cooper-Hewitt== My page on the Cooper-Hewitt predates yours by three months, and also uses the correct name of the museum, according to its website. Can you figure out how to merge the content/redirect and also fix the link in the New York City article. Bwahahahaha... User:Kaisershatner 22:22, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC) == Black Death == Thanks for your comments. I agree the point is interesting, and perhaps useful in a social consequences section. But social points are difficult to document. The anon who wrote the original paragraph didn't provide a source. If I can find the source that I got my memory from (see my original comment), I'll put a paragraph in. In the meantime, feel free to look for similar references. Comments welcome. User:WBardwin 01:02, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Re your changes to the L.A. page == I concur that the sentence about mugging was probably an exaggeration, but I am putting back in the other sentence you took out. It sounds like you're not a L.A. resident. If you actually read the L.A. Times every day, you would be familiar with the enormous variety of random crimes and car-related crimes that occur in the City of Los Angeles on a daily basis. There have been two fatal random shootings on the Harbor Freeway in the past three weeks, as well as random thrill killings on the streets of Pacoima and Harbor City during that same period. All these crimes occurred in broad daylight. If you want an even more comprehensive list of the variety of murders, assaults, and robberies that occur in L.A. every day, look at the Newsroom Web page on the LAPD Web site:[http://www.lapdonline.org/press_releases/press_releases.htm] And don't forget to look at the press release archives for past months, too. Also, if you run a LexisNexis search through past L.A. Times articles you'll notice that the crime rate was actually much higher in 2002. --User:Coolcaesar 09:19, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC) == NYC == Hi. You ask: :Hi, what was your intention of breaking apart the intro just to add the heading "overview"? I think its pretty clear that for most large city articles the intro serves ''as'' the overview. I've also never heard of what you're calling the "convential position" of having those separate, and I think the article looks much worse now. --User:Jleon 18:21, 13 May 2005 (UTC) Firstly let me congratulate you on your speedy response. I've actually yet to see the results of my edit (apart from the pre-save preview) as all Wikipedia will give me is ''Sorry- we have a problem... The wikimedia web server didn't return any response to your request.'' However the intention was not about breaking up anything, but rather about making sure that the contents were shown in a rational place in the article. When I first looked at the article, viewing full screen on a 17" monitor with medium sized font, I couldn't even tell that it had a contents list, and I therefore assumed it was a fairly short and lightweight article. Obviously I was sufficiently motivated to scroll down and find that wasn't true, but other readers may not. The contents list performs an important 'selling' task in giving the reader a quick view of how comprehensive the article is, but only if readers don't have to scroll to see it. Or to put it another way, here is what the Wikipedia:Manual of Style has to say about the lead section: :The lead section is the section before the first headline. It is shown above the table of contents (for pages with more than three headlines). The appropriate lead length depends on the length of the article, but should be no longer than three paragraphs in any case. (my emphasis). The lead section before my change had four relatively long paragraphs. Please feel free to change what I have done, but do please consider the need for the contents list to be immediately visible. -- User:Chris j wood 18:48, 13 May 2005 (UTC) :Ok, I've managed to display the article now, and I see what you mean about the whitespace mismatches. Obviously someone had carefully aligned the contents and the info box, and my change kicked them out of kilter. I've tried again; if you still don't like feel free to revert. Will copy this discussion to Talk:New York City -- User:Chris j wood 19:22, 13 May 2005 (UTC) == GE Building == Response to: "Hey, I like the photo you added for the GE Building, but the time stamp needs to be taken out using Photoshop. If you'd like me to, I can easily handle it. Just let me know. --User:Jleon 15:47, 15 May 2005 (UTC)" Hi Jleon! I would like you to remove the time stamp for me THX! --User:Geographer 00:07, May 16, 2005 (UTC) ==Size limit== I do not oppose a long (61k) article on the USA (as long as it is <64k ) but I oppose double standards. See talk:Germany. User:Andries 19:52, 20 May 2005 (UTC) ==African Burial Ground== Hey, thanks for creating the article. I know very little about the subject, to tell the truth, but just enough to know that there should be an article on it and it should be mentioned in the New York City article. I will try to do some research though, and add to your start. --User:Sophitus 17:51, May 25, 2005 (UTC) ==World cities - Tokyo photo== You mean you don't recognize the bridge? It is Nijubashi Bridge at the Imperial Palace. It is THE symbol of Tokyo as much as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, Buckingham Palace is to London. The old Tokyo photo is not a good picture either. All cities have urban sprawl. Nothing unique about that. User:Photojpn.org 18:43, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC) == Louisville on the United States page == Louisville, Kentucky was removed from the list of 20 largest cities in the U.S. on the page United States because it was not one of the 20 largest cities in 2000 (see the [http://www.census.gov/statab/ccdb/cit1020r.txt official list] from the United States Census Bureau). That list lists the 20 largest cities ''as of the 2000 census.'' Louisville and Jefferson County were merged into a single government in ''2003''—in 2000, the population of the city of Louisville was the number now shown on the United States page. User:Mateo SA | User talk:Mateo SA 17:57, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC) == Houston- Fastest Growing == I have removed the quotes that were restored. I do not know the source for the quotes because they were already there before I started editing the Houston, Texas article. User:UH Collegian 17:44, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC) :I also don't like the fact that you and your colleages keep on removing the picture of Houston, Texas in the United States article. It seems like the materials on that page are very exclusive and guarded from "non-regular" Wikipedians from adding in anything. User:UH Collegian 17:57, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to my user page, As I'm currently a grad student in Urban Planning, you may notice that most of my contributions revolve around planning and architecture related topics. I'm also a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City, which is a very loosely held group aimed at directing the contributions to all things New York City. So far my primary areas of attention to New York have been: articles within the List of museums and cultural institutions in New York City , List of Queens neighborhoods, and the History of New York City. Other areas of interest to me are Zen, postmodern literature, geography, and many general history topics.
