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. {{unsigned|Paisan1}} | |||

I was referring to you siting the Misplaced Pages source claiming that you did not write it, while ignoring and sidestepping the issue. I cannot stress this enough, you may twist this into something else as much as you like, I'm still joyfully holding the mirror towards you. Also, in keeping with you willfully ignoring the clear evidence, the Wikipedian who edited Houston after me changed it in favor of my point. But go ahead and continue with not practicing what you preach about insanity. "I will no longer bandy with you" - I see that you even ignore your declarations and definitions - by your own definition, you are insane. | |||
Revision as of 18:19, 18 June 2014
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)
