Made a mistake. The powers-that-be granted me permission to change semi-protected pages but I didn't know the permission was granted. I resubmitted my request for permission before noticing that it has already been granted.

Area rankings in cities

While some of the changes you made may be true with respect to administrative area, they are NOT w.r.t. population. The latter is generally more important. Therefore, I am wholesale reverting your edits in this regard. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee " 00:09, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

w.r.t = with respect to. Very easy to look up. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee " 06:29, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

There is no reason for you to respond by e-mail, and I don't want my inbox littered with Misplaced Pages messages. Keep the conversation in one place.

I can choose any country's system of English spelling as I see fit. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee " 06:36, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

I am beginning to think you are searching literally. Rankings w.r.t. population clearly indicate ranking by number of persons residing in city limits.

Knowledge of what constitutes proper Misplaced Pages etiquette is a prerequisite to criticism of another's "skills in diplomacy and common courtesy". Hardly any other Wikipedian would resort to e-mail to discuss an issue as trivial as this. None of my posts here are rude in the slightest. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee " 06:48, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Much better. But your comment about w.r.t. being "very easy to look up" was rude specifically because it was condescending. And hardly any other Wikipedian so flippantly undo another's edit with the comment "man you gotta realize ______". Frankly, I didn't take the latter as bothersome as your w.r.t. comment. It's a matter of professionalism. Furthermore, be real. Email is the more efficient way of communicating. Claiming it as a breach of etiquette is downright foolish and contrived.

Rankings by population are listed in the "list of U.S. cities by population" vs. "list of U.S. cities by area". The problem is the inaccurate (or misleading) use of the word "large". The reader will better comprehend the difference when "large" refers to area as opposed to population - alternatively, "most populous" when referring to population. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paisan1 (talk • contribs)

And hardly any other Wikipedian so flippantly undo another's edit with the comment "man you gotta "...—your words. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee " 07:05, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

... um ... yes they were my words ... your point? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paisan1 (talk • contribs)

I almost never begin a sentence with "man", unless referring to humanity, as I consider it crass and low-class. It should have been clear I was imitating you with humorous intent. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee " 07:18, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

The responsibility of communication lies more with the giver of the communication than the receiver. That fact that it wasn't clear ... whether you think it should have been clear is irrelevant. The "you" in your post was terse - the fact that you cannot see that shows you are oblivious, but it unfortunately also appears to be typical of your comments on this thread. The irony lies in your comment that beginning a sentence with "man" is crass and low-class yet you are clueless as to your own lack of tact, something "very easy to look up". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paisan1 (talk • contribs)

What I lack in tact I make up for by self-awareness, self-perception, and several orders of magnitude in finesse and taste, the latter two infinitely superior to most people I know (why else would they be constantly listening to music that almost certainly will not last a few decades, then?. And, 1) stop responding by e-mail, especially if you're going to post here anyway (what a waste of time) 2) sign your posts with ~~~~ 3) get a life and some sense of humour (I know mine is low enough), too. I've even outright attacked others (I don't any more) in edit summaries only to be awarded with a Humour Barnstar. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee " 07:46, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

first, you criticize my emails as a waste of time, and then tell me to sign my posts ... ON MY OWN TALK PAGE? See I do have a sense of humor because to me THAT'S FUNNY! That along with the finesse and taste. Second, HELLOOOOO KETTLE! I do have a life; I don't spend my time trolling Misplaced Pages posts
