Belated thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA. Consensus to promote was reached, and I am now an administrator. I'll be using the tools cautiously at first, and everyone should feel welcome to peer over my shoulder and make sure I'm not doing anything foolish. --Robth^Talk 04:12, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Political party strength in Alabama

{{helpme|why is the US House and Electoral Votes mixed up on Political party strength in Alabama?}} Atlantic Gateways (talk) 22:34, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea. Why don't you go fix it? //roux   22:39, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I fixed it. Atlantic Gateways seems to have wanted to know how to fix it. I explained a little in my edit summary on that article. Qqqqqq (talk) 23:42, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Those blank rows need to be inserted only when a box (one of those shaded column-pieces) you're adding isn't the very next puzzle piece to be added when working left-to-right. Basically you need to insert a place-holder so that the box that will eventually be added to the left of the piece you're adding can later be added. I can try to explain better if you need me to. It's confusing at first, but you'll get it. Qqqqqq (talk) 16:40, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

User:Atlantic Gateways/List of Comparisons of Municipal Incorporations

{{helpme|I want to create an article that compares different forms of municipal government. Is a table the best way to do it, like above? Or sections? And if I wrote it, would it be deleted (that's why i'm developing it on my user page now, I know Wikipedians can be ruthless at times towards new articles. Atlantic Gateways (talk) 15:07, 2 March 2009 (UTC)}}

That looks like original research to me, which isn't allowed. You would need a) references showing that this sort of comparison is important and notable, and then b) references for every entry on the table. Really, it looks to me like something that doesn't really provide much beyond trivia about municipalities. Plus, given the staggering number of municipalities worldwide, the page would very quickly become unmanageably large. //roux   16:09, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
