Thanks for uploading Image:Empireatbroadway.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

You may have a point in deleting the section on the Jax metro area. But some type of mention needs to be made, because Jacksonville's situation is fairly unusual. Unlike 99% of cities in the US, the vast majority of Jacksonville's "suburban" area actually lies within the city limits, due to consolidation of the city and county governments about 40 years ago. I think that the purpose in having the metro area was to draw some significant distinctions between the "suburbs" within the city, the suburbs within the county but outside the city limits, and the areas outside of the county altogether. Because it's not like other cities, it can be confusing (and I'm not sure that the section you deleted did an adequate job of clarifying that). Unschool 21:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I live in the Phoenix metro area. I feel it is misleading to say that Phoenix is the 6th largest-city in the United States without qualifying the statement. The metro Phoenix area is moderate in size-- it is the 14th-largest metro area in the U. S. Phoenix is the 6th largest city by virtue of the fact that it has enormous city limits. This is why I feel it is crucial to put the information about the area within the Phoenix city limits at the top of the Phoenix, Arizona page. In the case of Phoenix, area is not "esoteric." Area is relevant for Phoenix. It explains why a city like Phoenix is ranked #6 in population in the U. S. when the Phoenix metro area is only #14 in the country.

Glad you are taking an interest in this article. If you want some material that might sew further ideas for edits to surface tension, please see a draft that I have been working on (off and on for several months now) for a supplement to the main article. You can find the draft at User:Karlhahn/Surface tension (supplement). The audience for the supplement is clearly folks who are adept at math, but the content (such as it is in partially completed form) meshes with the thoughts you added to the main article.

Can you be able to look over the article and make some more comments on it than you did on the article's talk page? Recently, I have tried to talk to User:Thomas Paine1776, who seems to be the one pushing the positive view of the city while attacking those trying to add some balance to the article, yet it appears that I have been rebuffed. In the meantime, I will step back from the article and continue to gather third party perspectives on it so that I could take the correct course of action without inflaming the conflict any further.

Hello,
What is so "silly" about distances between cities?
Where are the list of official neighborhoods within the city limits?
Those are my projections, why no projections? I see them all the time on Wiki. These projections are based on the 2000 census with the population growth at 2% a year (Source: city of Billings) so I thought that the estimate is reasonable and about sources, I don't have the time or energy to research sources for future or what ever else there was. This is general knowledge that is true and accurate and I'm just trying to make this page as complete and informal as possible.

Hi, we've met before, notably on the New England article and talk page. I've done alot of work at WP:RFA, voting on candidates to be administrators. I was wondering if you would accept a nomination to become one. BH (T| C) 05:39, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I noticed User:Raul654 already archived the FAC nom. I think that was a bit quick, since you are working on it to address concerns. Some other nominations given more time. Anyway, I suggest keep working on it, and renominated it at some point. It took New York City seven nominations, but with Providence, I think you are much closer to FA quality. I'll be happy to look at the article again. -- Aude ( talk) 01:18, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I understand that you are frustrated with the IP editor, but removing comments from a talk page is not a good way to proceed. Having said that, restoring openly racist comments and clear violations of WP:NPA may make a point, but we don't do that. this edit and then this one should not have occured. In fact, they now rest in the history of the talk page under your name, which I am sure was not your intent. Jd2718 00:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
You placed a "huh" tag on the intro to bernoulli's principle, i wasn't sure how to describe it, but the sentence wants to say something like
"It is important to note that the only cause of the change in fluid velocity is the difference in balanced pressure on either side of it"
where it is the differential/considered fluid element. But to say that in an intro will confuse readers? What do you think about this? User A1 04:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Just read in the signpost that Providence reached featured status. Good Job. I think you should request that it be the main page's featured article. To do so go to Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests. Boston was recently on the main page, and Samuel Adams will be there tomorrow (July 4, yes its intentional).

What is your issue? What's up with the drive-by fact-tagging on every sentence including several items that are not " likely to be challenged"? Many of the items you threw tags at (such as "Atlanta is the third-highest in elevation...") are hardly controversial and confirmed fairly easily; remember, "You can also add sources even for material you did not write." Also, for metro-Atlanta residents, "legal battles with neighboring states Alabama and Florida" over water are common-knowledge. Why would that be controversial or "likely to be challenged"? Btw, I believe you were the one that fact-tagged the Georgia Aquarium size statements? Georgia Aquarium is linked and fully referenced - you need only click-through to validate that statement. AUTiger » talk 02:20, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Loodog. First, I did not forget about the curl pictures yet, I'll get to them.
I have a few style notes about this edit. First, there's got to be a period at the end of the formula if that formula is at the end of sentence, and that period should be in the math tags, per WP:MSM. Second, variables must be in math or italic style, so or T instead of plain T. Lastly, there's got to be exactly one space between paragraphs, more than that does not look aesthetic. Hope that's useful. :) You can reply here. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 04:33, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
The reference states "Atlanta Leads Nation in Single-Family Housing Activity for 13th Consecutive Year" but your summary states (trying to remove overdressing of a simple fact, ref says nothing about it being single family only). I was attempting to find a reference for the following statement that was sitting there uncited: The metro area has been #1 in single-family housing starts for 13 consecutive years. citation needed It appears to me that the reference that I located is accurate. Feel free to add additional statements based on the article but I believe that it's accurate to leave the original statement alone.
Additionally I did not see any harm in adding the further information with respect to the growth as compared to the top-50 metro areas. I don't see how that would be "overdressing of a simple fact" but instead adding an additional fact.
I don't know if you are likely to read the talk page on the article and so am leaving this comment here instead. Please let me know your thoughts either here or on my talk page. Thanks! Drew30319 16:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey there - sorry I don't log on to Wikipedia all that much these days - I'm mostly a reader. Do you still need the outline map of Rhode Island? I'd like to eventually do spot-maps for all the New England states, but it's a matter of time and motivation. :) All the states are separate though, at least from the source I got them from, so it would be somewhat hard to attach MA and RI together.

You may have a point in deleting the section on the Jax metro area. But some type of mention needs to be made, because Jacksonville's situation is fairly unusual. Unlike 99% of cities in the US, the vast majority of Jacksonville's "suburban" area actually lies within the city limits, due to consolidation of the city and county governments about 40 years ago. I think that the purpose in having the metro area was to draw some significant distinctions between the "suburbs" within the city, the suburbs within the county but outside the city limits, and the areas outside of the county altogether. Because it's not like other cities, it can be confusing (and I'm not sure that the section you deleted did an adequate job of clarifying that). Unschool 21:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I live in the Phoenix metro area. I feel it is misleading to say that Phoenix is the 6th largest-city in the United States without qualifying the statement. The metro Phoenix area is moderate in size-- it is the 14th-largest metro area in the U. S. Phoenix is the 6th largest city by virtue of the fact that it has enormous city limits. This is why I feel it is crucial to put the information about the area within the Phoenix city limits at the top of the Phoenix, Arizona page. In the case of Phoenix, area is not "esoteric." Area is relevant for Phoenix. It explains why a city like Phoenix is ranked #6 in population in the U. S. when the Phoenix metro area is only #14 in the country.

Glad you are taking an interest in this article. If you want some material that might sew further ideas for edits to surface tension, please see a draft that I have been working on (off and on for several months now) for a supplement to the main article. You can find the draft at User:Karlhahn/Surface tension (supplement). The audience for the supplement is clearly folks who are adept at math, but the content (such as it is in partially completed form) meshes with the thoughts you added to the main article.

Can you be able to look over the article and make some more comments on it than you did on the article's talk page? Recently, I have tried to talk to User:Thomas Paine1776, who seems to be the one pushing the positive view of the city while attacking those trying to add some balance to the article, yet it appears that I have been rebuffed. In the meantime, I will step back from the article and continue to gather third party perspectives on it so that I could take the correct course of action without inflaming the conflict any further. Thanks. Pentawing Talk 16:37, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Loodog. Do you think Minneapolis, Minnesota is ready for featured article candidate (FAC)? I see a few weaknesses but no reason not to try. - Susanlesch 07:50, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Tell you what, dude. You better hustle around and find some more people who understand what drivel that article is if you want to get it deleted. You and I do not a consensus comprise. I suggest you look through the old discussion pages for the 2000s article for people who share your antipathy for that crapola. Unschool 05:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions and pictures to Curl. I have one suggestion however. It would be great if the pictures you put in were of higher resolution, and preferable in png, which is not blurry and which is better suited for line art. I wonder what you think. You can reply here. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 03:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
And I have another note. In math notation variables should be italic, so ''x'' instead of x, which shows up as x. And equations should be indented, so

Hi there. User:Mediumostrich has been vandalizing again. Could you do the honours? Thanks, Leo44 ( talk) 19:18, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I just updated the New England historic city list. I liked the geographic order you suggested, and started the list at New Haven, and roughly followed the I=95 corridor to Portland.
And buy the way I warned User:71.235.81.39 about his Anti-Boston trolling on his talk page, and told him next time he posts one of his rants on any talk page that I would start a thread on him at WP:ANI with the intention of having him blocked.

Hello,
What is so "silly" about distances between cities?
Where are the list of official neighborhoods within the city limits?
Those are my projections, why no projections? I see them all the time on Wiki. These projections are based on the 2000 census with the population growth at 2% a year (Source: city of Billings) so I thought that the estimate is reasonable and about sources, I don't have the time or energy to research sources for future or what ever else there was. This is general knowledge that is true and accurate and I'm just trying to make this page as complete and informal as possible.

Hi, we've met before, notably on the New England article and talk page. I've done alot of work at WP:RFA, voting on candidates to be administrators. I was wondering if you would accept a nomination to become one. BH (T| C) 05:39, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I noticed User:Raul654 already archived the FAC nom. I think that was a bit quick, since you are working on it to address concerns. Some other nominations given more time. Anyway, I suggest keep working on it, and renominated it at some point. It took New York City seven nominations, but with Providence, I think you are much closer to FA quality. I'll be happy to look at the article again. -- Aude ( talk) 01:18, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
I understand that you are frustrated with the IP editor, but removing comments from a talk page is not a good way to proceed. Having said that, restoring openly racist comments and clear violations of WP:NPA may make a point, but we don't do that. this edit and then this one should not have occured. In fact, they now rest in the history of the talk page under your name, which I am sure was not your intent. Jd2718 00:13, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
You placed a "huh" tag on the intro to bernoulli's principle, i wasn't sure how to describe it, but the sentence wants to say something like
"It is important to note that the only cause of the change in fluid velocity is the difference in balanced pressure on either side of it"
where it is the differential/considered fluid element. But to say that in an intro will confuse readers? What do you think about this? User A1 04:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Just read in the signpost that Providence reached featured status. Good Job. I think you should request that it be the main page's featured article. To do so go to Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests. Boston was recently on the main page, and Samuel Adams will be there tomorrow (July 4, yes its intentional). If you do request I'd chime in if you wanted. Black Harry (Highlights| Contribs) 16:02, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that you just warned 71.235.86.179 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) about vandalism to Boston. I ran the "WHOIS" thing, and it appears this user is from New Haven, CT. New Haven, is also home to the trolling IPs 71.235.81.32 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) and 71.235.81.32 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) (thpse two are the same person).
While the evidence is only circumstantial at best, I suggest we keep an eye on that whole range of IPs.

What is your issue? What's up with the drive-by fact-tagging on every sentence including several items that are not " likely to be challenged"? Many of the items you threw tags at (such as "Atlanta is the third-highest in elevation...") are hardly controversial and confirmed fairly easily; remember, "You can also add sources even for material you did not write." Also, for metro-Atlanta residents, "legal battles with neighboring states Alabama and Florida" over water are common-knowledge. Why would that be controversial or "likely to be challenged"? Btw, I believe you were the one that fact-tagged the Georgia Aquarium size statements? Georgia Aquarium is linked and fully referenced - you need only click-through to validate that statement.

Hi Loodog. First, I did not forget about the curl pictures yet, I'll get to them.
I have a few style notes about this edit. First, there's got to be a period at the end of the formula if that formula is at the end of sentence, and that period should be in the math tags, per WP:MSM. Second, variables must be in math or italic style, so or T instead of plain T. Lastly, there's got to be exactly one space between paragraphs, more than that does not look aesthetic. Hope that's useful. :) You can reply here. Thanks. Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 04:33, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
The reference states "Atlanta Leads Nation in Single-Family Housing Activity for 13th Consecutive Year" but your summary states (trying to remove overdressing of a simple fact, ref says nothing about it being single family only). I was attempting to find a reference for the following statement that was sitting there uncited: The metro area has been #1 in single-family housing starts for 13 consecutive years. citation needed It appears to me that the reference that I located is accurate. Feel free to add additional statements based on the article but I believe that it's accurate to leave the original statement alone.
Additionally I did not see any harm in adding the further information with respect to the growth as compared to the top-50 metro areas. I don't see how that would be "overdressing of a simple fact" but instead adding an additional fact.
I don't know if you are likely to read the talk page on the article and so am leaving this comment here instead. Please let me know your thoughts either here or on my talk page. Thanks! Drew30319 16:27, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey there - sorry I don't log on to Wikipedia all that much these days - I'm mostly a reader. Do you still need the outline map of Rhode Island? I'd like to eventually do spot-maps for all the New England states, but it's a matter of time and motivation. :) All the states are separate though, at least from the source I got them from, so it would be somewhat hard to attach MA and RI together. Let me know. Petros63 18:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me for trying to let people know of our progress.Other city article's don't need them because they have for the most part Great Reputations and are filled with millions more people.Are you even from Detroit?

Im just thinking,a big part of Detroit is how far we have come and putting that in history just wouldn't be right because the cahnges are current or since the 90's anyway.Im gonna go ahead and edit the History section for now and see what i can do with it,maybe not add a whole section but i'll play with it.

I replaced Image:Uniform curl.JPG with Image:Uniform curl.png which is better looking, by running your code, going on the image, clicking on "Edit -> Save Selection As -> EPS" and then I converted the EPS to png. I was not so lucky with the other images. Image:Nonuniformcurl.png looks ugly since the sticks of the arrows are not seen.
