 * This edit included a change that changed the word "rural" to "urban" in the sentence "During the antebellum period North Carolina was an overwhelmingly rural state, even by Southern standards.", a clear falsity among other more benign changes. I stand by the vandalism warning that was left here. Your other edits are only worse. Alansohn (talk) 21:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

But
My other edits were a mistake that I did not mean to make. North Carolina is a very urban state and I thought the article was wrong -- what about cities like Charlotte, Greensboro, and Raleigh? ARE THOSE RURAL??????? I WANT THIS WARNING CORRECTED. Ilovenc123 (talk) 21:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The paragraph you changed was about North Carolina before the Civil War. The paragraph continues as :In 1860 only one North Carolina town, the port city of Wilmington, had a population of more than 10,000. Raleigh, the state capital, had barely more than 5,000 residents." That North Carolina has urbanized since has nothing to do with the change you made. While the other changes in the article did no harm, the change you made in this paragraph was factually incorrect. If you do have an interest in making constructive edits in the future to avoid a block, you will need to be very careful to make edits that make articles better. Let the warning I left serve as a reminder to work constructively. Alansohn (talk) 22:17, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
