Speedy deletion nomination of Shaggybevo
A tag has been placed on Shaggybevo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Table of United States primary census statistical areas
Please do not vandalize United States Census Bureau data. Buaidh (talk) 01:49, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That was not vandalism. What is your problem?Scottolini (talk) 02:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in the US Census tables. When we update a US Census table, it is important to update the entire Census table and not just your home town. Piecemeal updates corrupt tables and aggravate maintenance. If you would like to assist with future updates, please let me know. Yours aye, Buaidh (talk) 16:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Will do.Scottolini (talk) 18:59, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Population wording in lead at Austin, Texas
In prose, numerical figures of one million or higher are written as X million or X.X million. This is the proper style when writing a prose. The estimated numerical population figure for the metro area is listed in the infobox. The lead section of an article is an overview and should be a snapshot&mdash;not full of statistical numeric figures. See New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, etc. These cities have populations over one million and they are written as X million or X.X million. The wording of this has been discussed at length. See Talk:New_York_City, Wikipedia_talk:USCITY, and Talk:Houston for recent discussions. You should discuss your disagreement on the talk page of the article or research prior discussions before engaging in an edit war like you are doing now. &mdash;RJN (talk) 00:42, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

What you call the "exact numbers" (which is NOT the actual population) are already in infobox to the right of the lead section. The rounded number is appropriate for the lead section, which is an overview of the article. Giving an 18 month-old estimate to the nearest person is false precision. &mdash;RJN (talk) 00:42, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes at Talk:Austin, Texas. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. &mdash;RJN (talk) 00:51, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
