→Demographics: Deleted historical populations table because it mixes Manhattan apples with five-borough oranges. See User talk:Shakescene#Census. The footnote about Bronx inclusion before 1898 just muddles thing further. The table should be reworked before possible restoration in some form.Tag: Reverted

Undid revision 1194529680 by Uness232 (talk) The small weather box is useful and the only one I want to read; those big ugly weatherboxes (anywhere) have always been too intimidating for me to start exploring. There's surely a place for those details in the NYC Climate subarticle, but it's too much information for the reader seeking a general picture of this topic among many, many others. We may have to start a Talk Page discussion.

→Demographics: Uncollapsed population growth because collapsed version won't guide people to one of the first questions that they might ask about NYC. However, while I wanted to replace the Show option with a Hide one, I've forgotten how to do so. Help appreciated

→Climate: The small table at the top gives useful information for the general reader. But the big weatherbox that I'm deleting is too detailed and non-intuitive for the general reader (so many bright boxes that general readers like me are deterred from starting to explore it); it properly belongs in the specialized NYC Climate subarticle.

Undid revision 1192581189 by Nikkimaria (talk) This table is standard in U.S. city & state articles, and answers general-interest questions from those who might not dive into the subarticle. However much of this section's text needs editing and summarizing (with referral to the subarticles) because mentioning ethnic group A will generate aiddtionst about groups B, C, D & E, which in turn will bring in text about groups F, G,..etc.Tag: Undo

Undid revision 1191950656 by Векочел (talk) After a very protracted and animated discussion, it's been decided that QV's name is Queen Victoria, so changing her title might do more to confuse, rather than clarify, her identity for the general reader. ON THE OTHER HAND, I'd have no objection to adding a parenthetical "{of the United Kingdom)" [outside the wikilink] for the same reason, clarityTags: UndoReverted

Jacob Javits
Undid revision 1191932433 by 213.233.110.216 (talk) No source given for involvement in Trotskyist movement; the Trotskyist SWP ran candidates against him. Classical vs post-classical liberalism is a classic dispute in itself — but many sources call Javits a liberal or a liberal Republican, even though many partisans and leftists would say he wasn't really a liberal.Tag: Undo
