Look, if people want to know where a wikilinked city is located, they can click on the link. I consider adding "United States" in bad taste, but I won't revert unless I notice it. I think your edits, at best, fall into the category of a stylistic change, which should not be done unless necessary. In February 17, you've made it clear you're not interested in improving the article, as you reinserted a clear error. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 10:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Please moderate your behaviour, not only was your recent message to me pompous it contained incorrect speculation: "you've made it clear you're not interested in improving the article." This is quite wrong. I made an edit to correct a bias that is all too common in Wikipedia, that is the default country is the USA. My edit was for the benefit of a global readership, many of whom will not have the knowledge of US cities as you may have. Therefore I have replaced United States. Please do not remove, and please be polite in the future correspondence with other editors as you risk driving away those trying to help.

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 13:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
