Welcome!
Hello, Weissespumpernickel, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Urban planning, have removed content without an explanation.

- Hello Flyer22, as I described in the 'talk' session of the article, the paragraph under 'Global Urban Planning' is everything but not encyclopedic. It is actually part of the comments of the talks and it reflects the opinion of the commentators. Read yourself: "No urban planning I am aware of is dealing with this on an interstate regional basis for urban clusters such as the Bos-Wash corridor let alone on an international global level. We haven't even begun to seriously address climate change let alone the urban planning for it. Cities such as Boston, New York, Washington DC., Norfolk, VA, Miami and New Orleans will be experiencing 2 feet of sea level rise by 2050 and another 2–3 feet of sea level rise by 2100."
- I guess it was a mistake from the contributor who just enclosed his comment as paragraph. The topic of urban planning is pretty tricky - if you read the paragraph about Global Urban Planning, you will actually see that this is really confusing and anything but academic.
- Let me know how to proceed to replace this non-academic paragraph.
- Thank you! Weissespumpernickel (talk) 15:56, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, you've used the {{helpme}} template, which should be used only if you have general questions about how to edit at Wikipedia, since it will bring random editors to your talk page. If you are trying to contatct Flyer22 directly, please do so at the user's talk page. Alternatively, if you want to discuss your edits with other users, you can post on the article's talk page. In this edit it appears you removed a large block of content a portion of which was sourced, without providing an edit summary. For most other editors going through their rounds, this appears disruptive at a first glance, and if I had to guess, I'd suspect that this is why Flyer22 reverted your edit.
