Length of article

This article is 190 kilobytes long, but I don't think it would be a good idea to split it up. What do you think? -- Buaidh ( talk) 21:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC) reply

Micropolitan Area Name Changes

I have updated the names used in the table to reflect changes made by the Office of Management and Budget on November 20, 2007. The former names were used in the latest Census Bureau population estimates (as of July 1, 2007) and will change to the present names at the next update.

Micropolitan Statistical Area (μSA) Changes

  • Washington, OH μSA => Washington Court House, OH μSA
  • West Helena, AR μSA => Helena-West Helena, AR μSA

2008 population estimates

I updated the table with United States Census Bureau estimates for July 1, 2008. Please do not alter the table. I reduced the length of this article to 100 KiB. I will update the table with the Census Bureau estimates for July 1, 2009, about March 31, 2010. Yours aye, Buaidh ( talk) 16:36, 25 September 2009 (UTC) reply

Out of order.

OK, so somewhere along the line the table ended up badly out of order (for example, places like Watertown, WI [pop. 83,000] and West Point, MS [pop. 20,000] landing in the same part of the table as µSAs with populations in the 100-115,000 range). I have the current data in an Excel spreadsheet with the order corrected, but I can't port that back into Wikipedia as a table. Does anyone want to poke at it for a bit and see if we can get the table back in order? V35322 ( talk) 19:00, 1 May 2012 (UTC) reply

Sorry for the foul-up with rankings. Everything should be OK now. Yours aye,  Buaidh  14:27, 3 May 2012 (UTC) reply

New data

The data being used to update the list in .xls format is here: [1]. The link in the article is to the CSV table. In process of updating, only 528 more to go... -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 01:10, 18 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Please help relink

On February 28, 2013, the United States Office of Management and Budget defined, renamed, and redefined a large number of United States Statistical Areaa. Please help relink the red-linked Statistical Areas to the appropriate metropolitan area article. If the Statistical Area comprises only one county, please link to that county.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of micropolitan statistical areas's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "OMB_20-01":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 04:28, 2 November 2020 (UTC) reply
