The article covers most of the bases required for the United States Census Bureau. Nothing really distracted me while reading and everything was pretty relevant. Everything was decently organized for the most part, although one issue I found was that while the article showed all the regions that they collected their data in, it did not touch on the different methods of collecting data. They mention giving surveys but they don't explain how the surveys are distributed. It would be useful for people reading up on the Census Bureau to know the different methods and tactics they employ in order to collect their data. Another minor thing that I found was the separation between the Computer Equipment and Handheld computers (HHC) headings. Since they are about the same general topic, they should all be under the Computer Equipment heading with a Handheld computers (HHC) subheading. Also, some of the surveys listed in the articles are missing links. The links are are available do work though. The article is neutral in tone and doesn't swing one way or the other politically. There's no bias from what I've read as I am currently typing this. The sources that the article used are also fairly unbiased. They mostly used peer reviewed articles and news articles from neutral news sources and well as information from the Census Bureau itself. Aside from the heading and subheading issue I mentioned earlier, some of the information is outdated. The Computer Equipment section's last written sentenced talks about a source from 1951 and the Organizational Structure section needs to be updated from 2013 to 2018's standards. The talk section discusses different demographics like Hispanics and Japanese as well as the internal organization of the Bureau. This article is rated C-Class and is relevant to 4 WikiProjects, mostly relating to politics, government, and economics. The article goes into more detail than how we've done it in class.
Ideas: My ideas are posted on Edge city's talk page under the subheading "Ideas". You should find it near the bottom of the talk page.

As with any city, Edge Cities go through phases of growth and redevelopment. Politics within Edge Cities are unique in that they typically revolve around developing them. They contribute to a "growth machine" that spreads the urbanization of the United States. [1] They can obscure smaller settlements that are also going through similar phases of redevelopment. Depending on the size of the settlements the modes of urban politics can change. "State interventions are important both conceptually and to the empirical matter of this article since the extent, timing, nature, and legacies of state interventions significantly shape the mode of urban politics in different places and in a single place over time". [2] State interventions are essential to the politics in developing edge cities. Tysons Corner, Virginia is an example that went through the process of development due to the county government's aggressive recruitment of businesses. [3] Similar methods of development can be seen and applied to other edge cities as well.

I think you are keeping a neutral, encyclopedic tone throughout your edits which is great. You are providing some more detailed information on edge cities which is great. Maybe use one other source for some information so you are pulling information from a variety of sources. Everything looks good grammar and punctuation wise. Its good that you provided a real example of an edge city which I did not see much of on the article. Good job.
Theodore10's Suggestion: History of Edge Cities
Edge cities emerge from originally small towns and cities that grow and expand to create the size of its current state. Typically, these small towns and cities were suburbs. Many terms are used to refer to edge cities, such as: suburban business districts, major diversified centers, suburban cores, minicities, suburban activity centers, cities of realms, galactic cities, urban subcenters, pepperoni-pizza cities, superburbia, technoburbs, nucleations, disurbs, service cities, perimeter cities, peripheral centers, urban villages, and suburban downtowns. [1]Depending on the purpose and intent of the edge city, they may be built to serve that particular function. They may even serve to be extentions of larger metropolitan cities such as the relationship between Century City and Los Angeles.
Jpayan1488's Suggestion: What did the government do specifically to recruit more businesses?
Tysons recruited businesses with the promise of growth in the future. More businesses coming in allowed for the city to grow which led to the businesses growing as well. A chain reaction was crerated which crafted the modern day Tysons Corner, Virginia. Tysons was also an example of politics playing a role in developing an edge city. It could be traced to a special commission established at the request of the County Board of Supervisors that examined the fiscal capacity of the County vis-à-vis perceived shortfalls in collective consumption expenditures (County of Fairfax 1976a).

Edge cities contribute greatly to urban development by creating new jobs by attracting workers from the metropolitan areas around it. Also as a result of the rise of edge cities, more department stores, hotels, apartments, and office spaces are created. There are more edge cities than their downtown counterparts of the same size. Garreau states one reason for the rise of edge cities is that, "Today, we have moved our means of creating wealth, the essence of urbanism - our jobs - out to where most of us have lived and shopped for two generations. That has led to the rise of Edge City." [1] In comparison with urban centers edge cities offer global corporations many advantages: cheaper land, security, efficient land communications, advanced technological installations, and a high quality of life for their employees and executives. [2] The appeal of edge cities attract large corporations as well, boosting the already growing city.
