Edit summaries
I noticed that you recently made an edit summary: Affirmative action; 19:11:26 . . Coolcaesar (Talk) (Fixing the spelling, the idiot who wrote this doesn't know how to spell affirmative)
While I totally understand your frustration, it's generally better not to put it into edit summaries. See Wikipedia:Wikitiqute. ;-) Thanks for working on Wikipedia. The comment above reminded me that I should look at the entries on LA (I'm a LA native). JesseW 02:15, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Yes, people like myself do make spelling mistakes all the time. I always check my work, but sometimes miss things. Please, though, as JesseW said, don't call me an idiot for spelling affirmative incorrectly. (Yes, I was the one who wrote the lines that containted misspelled affirmative [1]). Personal attacks aren't at all constructive, it's better just to make the correction and move on. —siroχo 23:37, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
Cities vs. Towns in California
Just curious about the edit you made to city, where you said in California, a town is any incorporated settlement with less than 10,000 people, and a city is any incorporated settlement with more than 10,000 people. Do you have a source for this? I recall looking at the CA constitution and legal code and I don't recall seeing any such distinction between cities and towns. What I recall, all incorporated municipalities in CA are considered "cities" under the law, although they can call themselves either a city or town. older≠wiser 17:10, Nov 21, 2004 (UTC)
Please be more careful
You pasted in the whole Los Angeles, California article in place of the section on education when you lasted edited it. I just fixed it; I had to merge in two sections that had been edited since. Please be carful about that in the future. It's a hassle to fix. The section on education is quite good, though. JesseW 08:20, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
