Thanks for you intervention at Talk:List of tallest buildings and structures in Paris. Common sense is really needed there. If you're interested, you can also have a look at Talk:Île-de-France (région) and comment. The same user, ThePromenader, has removed the following sentence from the introduction of the article: "Its territory corresponds for the most part to the metropolitan area of Paris.", and he removed it for about the same rigid reasons that he wants to change the title of List of tallest buildings and structures in Paris. It's very hard to reach any sort of compromise with this guy, and despite being told by both User:Metropolitan and I on the Île-de-France talk page that the sentence should remain in the introduction, he removed it nonetheless. Have a look. Your input there would be appreciated. Hardouin 18:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello Jared.
I'm sorry for my strictness, but it's important to remain true to reference here. Paris is unlike many of the world's metropoles, that is to say it is quite administratively separated from its suburbs - this is a real problem for city-suburb relations. All suburban communes have their own administrations, and have often even pride in their quite distinct identity - communes have been around since 1790. These make a large part of the reason that nothing outside Paris is called "Paris" - a situation quite peculiar, I agree, but one you can find in most every reference you look at. You will not find "Courbevoie" under "Paris" - actually, you'll have more chance of finding "La Défense" under "Courbevoie" than "Paris". Since this is supposed to be an encyclopedia, it is important to stick to referenced fact and not rely on greater ignorance - this is the "big deal" with this. Although many theories have been "explained" by certain contributors (Paris is bigger than Paris), nothing has ever been proven in this regard - and there is very good and obvious reason for this.
Just a word of explanation for my stance on this matter, but thanks for your input.

Jared, can you have a look at List of tallest buildings and structures in Paris? User:ThePromenader moved the article to "List of tallest buildings and structures in Île-de-France" although there is clearly no consensus on the talk page to move the article. I moved the article back to its original title. I am afraid that Promenader is going to move it back to Île-de-France. Can you have a look? Thanks. Hardouin 13:13, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
How are you making these images? (For example, ) I'd like to add them to the interchange listings on Interstate 395 (Connecticut). You just say "Made from existing images."
I'm looking for something similar to the other New England state route signs where you can basically put any number in an image, a la , , or . I notice anything over in Connecticut doesn't have a sign image.

Jared,
I'm going to be removing the picture from Portal:Olympics/Selected athlete. The picture is a copyright violation. At best, it may come in under fair use, but that means it's not allowed on the portal page. -- Sue Anne 21:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Jonel,
I was recently doing some edits to the 2008 summer page and I was going through the sports when I realized that the only sport that isn't listed is Aquatics, rather, its disciplines are listed. I've noticed this all along but havn't really made anything of it until now. It seems that the 4 disciplines are not grouped together into one page, like Volleyball at the 2004 Summer Olympics (Beach and indoor). Instead, they have their own pages. Why is this? Is this just something that we have just gone along with and never changed? If it has to do with the size of the page, obviously Athletics would be just as big if not bigger. And that's what subpages are for anyway.
So what do you think? I know you've been on the project longer than I have so I figured I'd ask you, the veteran of the Olympic WP pages! I think that they should be merged into one page, [[Aquatics at the ____ Olympics]], so that every sport is consistant. From there, we can have more subpages, but I think that a consistancy would be nice. With a mix, it just doesn't seem right. Anyway, respond when you can. Thanks. → JARED' (t) 14:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
I see that you've had trouble with this User:2005 in the past. Lately he has been disrupting me as well. His main behavioral problem is that he is an unscrupulous editor, who does not think about others before editing, reverting, or deleting their work. He is quite inconsiderate, and usually it's "his way or the highway". Plus, he never follows the "3 revert rule". Should we do something about this? Cloudreaver 05:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
