Allow me to respond to your comments on the Pompano Beach, Florida discussion page
Every city does have its less polished areas. however, I do not have the time to add such information to every city page. that is the whole point of wikipedia-- we edit what we can and what we know. if you look at city pages throughout wikipedia, you will find that there are discussions of cities' negative aspects. I am a local and the other editor who has been reverting your edits is a local and we both acknowledge western pompano's reputation for strip clubs. the assertion that there are several strip clubs in western pompano can be backed up by reference to a local phone book, citylink magazine, or another resource that lists local strip clubs. as for other cities having run down areas, feeel free to add this informaiton -- it is not my obligation to edit every city page, and I probably ought not to, as I am far less familiar with a place like hollywood than I am with Pompano. however, be sure to substantiate your claims -- i dont know if you have driven around the collier city area lately or if you have driven through deerfield's "rundown" area (and deerfield is a city with which I am quite familiar) between dixie and 95 and done a comparison, but it seems hard to assert that collier isn't, on the whole, far more run down than anything in deerfield. there is a dramatic difference in the quality of housing stock and infrastructure between these two areas and widely available crime statistics show that collier city's level of crime and general social depravity far exceeds anything in Deerfield....And Deerfield has no strip clubs... But I digress. As for the improvements that have happened in Pompano, notice that I have not interfered with the numerous mentions of improvements on Pompano's east side. If you are familiar with evidence that Pompano has finally started to do something about the west (after many, many years of utter neglect...I somehow remember driving on a dirt road out there in the mid nineties...and arent a lot of those houses still on septic systems?), feel free to post this. This is how you can constructively contibute to the Pompano Beach page -- by adding to it. In fact, I hope you do add something because Pompano is a nice town with a lot of nice places and many good things happening in recent years. This does not, however, mean that it does not have flaws or a red light district. Remember, this is an encyclopedia, not a place for mere boosterism. Yourebustedyo 05:39, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Facts about Fort Lauderdale written by Bastique

 * 1. In one of the city's worst traffic disasters, on March 17, 1993, an Amtrak passenger train collided with a loaded gasoline truck at the Cypress Creek Road crossing in north Fort Lauderdale, which was prevented from moving due to heavy rush hour traffic. The disaster killed the truck driver and as well as five motorists that were stopped at the crossing. Nobody on the train was seriously injured.


 * 2. As space becomes increasingly unavailable in and around Fort Lauderdale, high-rises are springing up in formerly single family and light industrial areas. This rapid development faces intense opposition from many longtime residents.


 * 3. Downtown Fort Lauderdale suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Wilma on October 24, 2005.

Pick your battles wisely. And you better be damned sure that you are right. If you want to improve the Pompano Beach article, do so with truthful facts. You seem to have a problem with what other people but you don't seem to know how to write anything yourself.  &#08492;  astique &#09660;  par &#08467; er  &#09829;  voir  &#09809;  22:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
