This page needs some attention, although the history appears sourced it should not be signed and needs to be more streamlined as to me it currently seems to contain much "waffle". I am unsure whether to attach the expert attention tag or not someone with greater knowledge of the area should perhaps make this decision. Bass fishing physicist 12:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
The long-winded history section is either original research or a direct copy of copyrighted material. In either case, it's completely unreferenced. I googled various sentences and couldn't find any websites that it would have been copied from. The entire edit was made by an unregistered user with IP: 216.231.141.4
It all sounds like it's good, accurate info, but who knows? Does anyone think that 216.231.141.4's edits should be reverted?

They look like they were done by someone who researched the subject and contain a brief list of references. But they are by someone unused to Wikipedia processes. Suggest they are kept and the authorship removed to this page ( follows). Lumos3 08:53, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
from a brief search, it seems that whether a populated area is considered one or the other depends less on size than on state law and local system of government. who knew? here's just one applicable link i've dug up: http://www.census.gov/population/censusdata/places/24md.txt. - Metanoid ( talk, email) 03:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
it appears you're right, divisions of municipalities are indeed for states to define. here's a Census.gov page with multiple documents listed: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/garm.html. the entry under Chapter 9: Places seems to spell it out especially. - Metanoid ( talk, email) 04:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the cite, Metanoid! I've raised the issue here. Pilch62 ( talk) 12:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
