[edit] Providing sources
Please read our verifiability policy. In particular note that sources must be supplied for any item that is challenged. Also, please read our guideline on common knowledge. -- Donald Albury 22:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
I agree that many things need to be cited, but I feel you have a tendency to overcite. I didn't add back quantatative things (ie demographic numbers) that were not cited. I merely added back the obvious if you live in South Florida. The tri-county is considered one metropolitan area--it is 'common knowledge' or common sense that all 3 airports are used, or that we use Interstate 95. Additionally, even though you may not use colloquialisms like calling Miami--the MIA, it is very popular nationally to call cities by their airport names---Atlanta recently used ATL in some of their tourism campaigns.
Most of the time I think your edits are excellent, but sometimes you do need to consider the information of other editors (and maybe not write so harshly). Thanks. GatorFTL 10:32 28 November 2006
