Hi, greetings! About the page List of cities proper by population I just wanted to tell you that the last population you put as of 2010 is metropolitan and you know no metropolitan areas are suitable for city proper. The modified registred-based estimation counts the metropolitan areas of the administrative centers which is all cities and towns in the entire provinces except villages and this population is actually the population of the province without the villages. You can check in the site of the Statistical Institute and if you compare the 2000 data of citypopulation.de: Province - 10,018,735 ; City - 8,803,468 and 2010: Province - 13,255,685, City - 12,946,730 you see the difference between city and province in 2010 is negligible.Pensionero (UTC)
Hi. With the 2010 Census data becoming a focus for a lot of editing activity, I think we need a US-wide discussion of editing conventions. I've started this atWikipedia talk:WikiProject United States, which I think is an appropriate venue for it. First topic there isDescribing/naming census designated places. Please participate in that discussion and add more topics, if you see fit. --Orlady (talk)19:06, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Polaron, would you like to presise where from did you take data for making a break-down for Life Expectancy in the articleList_of_countries_by_life_expectancy. The reference to "United Nations World Population Prospects: 2006 revision – Table A.17 for 2005-2010" leads us only to the average Life expectacy between male and female. I would be grateful to you if you found the initial source.Front315 (talk)10:19, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I restoredMarch Route of Rochambeau's Army: Old Canterbury Road, an article which you have a couple times obliterated by redirecting, in what appears to be a low-grade edit war. This article is linked now fromPlainfield, Connecticut,National Register of Historic Places listings in Windham County, Connecticut and fromWashington–Rochambeau Revolutionary Route (and also fromUser talk:Polaron/Archive1 ).
You've noted in edit summaries that the site is "described" in the Rochambeau route article, but brief mention in the text there is immaterial to whether an article about the historic site in Plainfield can exist. It's a notable topic; there is a linked NRHP document and a map in the article already, which were obliterated for readers by your redirects. There's a whole lot more detail that can be added. I will proceed to develop the article. I suggest if you disagree, that you open an AFD about the article, which could conceivably result in it being redirected. But I expect the consensus of editors will be that the article is obviously notable and it will be kept. Or, we could have an RFC about the question, to attract other editors.
As you know, there are 4 more similar articles, which I also intend to restore:
Please discuss here or at the Talk page of the article, okay? If you are not inclined to agree with me, please state how you intend to proceed. I will assist in opening an RFC if you wish for that, to obtain wider consensus. I hope it will not be your intention to proceed by redirecting. Redirecting is obviously disputed by me. --doncram18:02, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. If your point is that those specific articles should have been better developed, I could accept that. Am developing them. However they already included info, including clickable individual reference with photos of site for readers, that are not in your merger target article. I seriously don't understand why you would target those 5 out of the 28 historic sites linked from the Rochambeau route article (and now included inCategory:Rochambeau route which might soon be renamed). --doncram04:03, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please seeWikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Polaron reported by User:Doncram (Result: ) --doncram03:08, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. When you recently editedList of historic sites preserved along Rochambeau's route, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation pageRochambeau (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.Read theFAQ • Join us at theDPL WikiProject.

Hi Polaron, I notice you added info toButts Bridge article which i recently created, and toSamson Occom Bridge article. Your info was not supported by any source in the article. Would you please add your source information? As you know, unsourced information can be challenged and removed at any time; i did already remove your added info from one and will for the other soon, assuming you don't respond promptly. We've been through this before...why not add the source right when you are working from the source? Or it has the appearance of trying to cause contention and attract attention, that you edit an article soon after me, perhaps expecting that I will naturally object to your unsourced info.... --doncram02:34, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the improvements you made toPrincipal city.
Notice: 2010 Standards for Delineating Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas made a number of significant changes to the rules for identifying principal cities. We should update the article to reflect these rule changes.
A less important point is thatOMB Bulletin No. 13-01: Revised Delineations of Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Micropolitan Statistical Areas, and Combined Statistical Areas, and Guidance on Uses of the Delineations of These Areas identified principal cities for every Metropolitan Statistical Area, Micropolitan Statistical Area, Combined Statistical Area, Metropolitan Division, New England City and Town Area, Combined New England City and Town Area, and New England City and Town Area Division; not just the Core Based Statistical Areas and New England City and Town Areas as the article states.

Hi, I have created a new disambiguation page from the redirect you made atKishwaukee. You had redirected the term toMoosup but since I saw no mention of Kishwaukee in the Moosup article I didn't mention it on the disambiguation page. If you know how "Kishwaukee" relates to Moosup, please mention it in that article so that Kishwaukee can then be fully disambiguated. Thank you.–Gilliam (talk)04:59, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
