Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Union City, New Jersey, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that all material added to articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 02:09, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your hard work on both the German and English Wikipedias. Don't worry about mistakes. They happen to everyone. As for the references, it is true that Guttenberg is the most densely populated place, but Union City is the most densely populated city. Guttenberg is not incorporated as a city. But thank you for the New York Times ref. I would add it to the article, but it is from the 2000 Census, and not the 2010 one. Danke! Nightscream (talk) 19:01, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, okay now I get it and I see you are from Union City. Pretending the first place ;) Just had this problem when I updated the population from Louisville (Kentucky) in German Wikipedia, since this city had a population of 256,231 at 2000 Census, but was incorporated(?) with the whole "Jefferson County" in the year 2003. English Wikipedia offers 2 population numbers, one "consilidated" (didn't check the word in the dictionary) and a "balanced" one, the balanced one is for the Louisville/Jefferson County metro government (balance), Kentucky and the more realistic one: the consolidated city-county of Louisville-Jefferson County that does not include any of the 83 separate incorporated places (municipalities) located within the city and county. Well I needed 30 Minutes to write it somehow understandable in German and than my Internet crashed and usually I always copy the text before sending it, but this time I forgot and immediately got the Problem... going back doesn't work. So I wrote a new short 5 minute version, but it is really hard to understand this for me as a "Berliner" (we are like the District of Columbia, Washington but we count as a state (Bundesland), Washington and Puerto Rico do not if I'm right, Puerto Rico for sure not. But its hard to understand, people from a real state at least got municipalities, a city doesn't. Maybe that is the reason why its very difficult for me to get this with the places, than the (metropolitan) statistic areas (there are many different types too) from the United States Census Bureau.
And what thanks for? I didn't do much in the English Wikipedia and I think you did 1000 times as much as I did and English Wiki is my best source, it is the best of all wikis of course so I have to thank you ;)But thanks for the polite behavior ;) I don't know if you are an admin, but a few days ago I did my first vote for an admin in the German Wiki, I didn't know in advance that I have the privilege to vote if a user becomes an Admin or not. However I think we got 298 Admins and (I think it was) around 1.3 Million registered users from Germany, Austria, big parts of Switzerland and so on, and of course many millions unregistered. I thought there are at least 1000 Admins. So they do not have much time. Kilon22 (talk) 04:46, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Ewww, net
[edit]In ref this: gross & net are ways of rating engine horsepower, one with no accessories (on the dyno), one with everything attached. So the 704hp net is the same engine as the 810hp gross, just measured another way. (BTW, for a pastry, ;p your English is good--certainly better than my German. :D ) J. D.

- Thanks for the information! Btw I found out or it is written in the article:
- The AV-1790-5B is also the engine of the Blastolene Special, a custom car owned by Jay Leno.
- The Blastolene Special is a unique, specially built car, designed and built by Randy Grubb currently owned by the entertainer Jay Leno. Created from a military tank engine and a custom-made aluminium body, it produces 810 bhp (600 kW) (@2800 rpm) and 1,560 pound force-feet (2,120 N·m) (@2400 rpm) of torque. The car weighs 9,500 pounds (4,300 kg) which is 1/11th the weight of the original tank from which the engine was used.
- Cost - US$250,000 (estimate [2001])
- Some people have to much money, today it would be 500,000 bucks :D Crazy but thanks for the explanation! I thought this is something like many helicopters got, they have a "starting power" for 3-5 mins (dont know how its called in english) of lets say 1,500 kW and a "Dauerleistung" of 1,325 kW for example ... Dauerleistung means continuous output/power... I saw this often for helis with 2 engines so that they had often 400 - 500 kW more for the start and 500 kW are ~680 PS/hp ;)
- oh and of course every jet engine got this too, in German its called "mit Nachbrenner" (with afterburner?) were the jet engine got 140kN or so and without afterburner its far less, maybe even 140 with and less than 100 without. I don't know much about engineering, so....

2011 Minnesota state government shutdown
[edit]I answered your question at Talk:Minnesota about the 2011 state government shutdown in Minnesota. The government didn't go insolvent, but politicians argued so much that they couldn't pass the budget legislation. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 18:47, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

- Sorry for late answer! But of course, I will check and upgrade it again, 2 years are gone and the prices for materials of all kind are very strange. For example oil: The oil price today is sooo low, that a US gallon (3,78541 Litres) does only cost 0,99 US-Dollar! The price for WTI is 41.54 US-$ and for Brent it is 44.23 US-$ per barrel (158.987.... Liters).
- Already we have very low gasoline prices in the US this year so far, in Europe were the by far largest part of the costs for 1 Liter is tax we only feel a little bit of the oil prices (negative @ low oil prices, positive @ high oil prices. Turkey is very extreme, most of the country is poor, but Turkey gasoline prices are extreme high. I do not know why the Turkish goverment made this. They paid over 1,70€ when we paid ~1,40€. Now the €uro is extreme low in price, but back than it was like over 2 US-$ per Liter or around 8 US-$ per gallon.
- This is crazy shit. But well, Europe is the first continent of the "First world" which really reduces its per capita use of oil, natural gas and so on... France is building a gigantic complex of nuclear power plants already for a long time, the highest rate in per cent since the nuclear power station in the Baltic States was forced to shut down after the countries entered the European Union. Before this the "Ignalina" nuclear power plant with 2 reactors: 2 x 1.360 MW brutto or 2 x 1.185 MW netto were providing very much energy, but since they are Soviet-Design (and the time when the construction started... Chernobyl...Maybe they have fixed some things here and there, but the fear is still great under experts, and this one was very close to Middle Europe... if a Russian reactors deep inside the country would have such problems it would be far away at least.......
The first one went down at the 31st December 2004 after 20 years of service, the second one had to be shut down on 31st December 2009 after over 22 years of service and they did get money for it, most of it of course Germany paid (as always in the European Union)... Stupid EU "green" politics, they are crazy, renewable energy can be only a small mix for Countries like Germany... whole Europe got potential yes, but Germany is not a good state except for limited hydropower and wind power in the areas not far away from the coast, but solar power in the southern provinces of Spain, in Portugal and in Sicilia/South Italy) and so on is much much more efficient than a German solar panel will ever be, but they are investing large amounts in Germany...
including Berlin and its surrounding area, the most effective we got yet are the large number of wind turbines in Brandenburg (at night when the turbines very close to Berlin produce more power than actually needed some goes to Berlin electrical infrastructure), I do not know if there are new models out in the last years, the latest one I remember good is Enercon I think that is the companies name, they produced wind turbines with up to 6,000 kW! I once saw such a thing... it is really large and therefore very high and needs a strong foundation since it goes up a lot of meters, and it needs to hold the weight of the elements built and for the large turbine along with the large rotor blades ,it is a large and really cool City here, but outside, in the former "GDR"-Areas bordering Berlin... I do not like them so much, Potsdam as the capital of "Brandenburg" is in range with the S-Bahn and counted to Berlin-Metro-Area, but the many refugees are a real risk now for peace. Europe can not take them all, and the US do not want anybody? I mean they can get easy to Europe through the Mediterranean with a small ship by night, a bit fuel and food...
- But they can not cross the Atlantic Ocean.... Obama is as I thought... He does not want to be the first "black" President which does send US troops into a new war. He wants to be remembered by his Social Care and Medicare/Medicaid... Here is a Bush Junior needed, I mean someone with such a mentality... I go check Rhodium price ;)

Arleigh Burke class
[edit]Regarding your question; can the Zumwalt-class destroyer succeed the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer? The answer is yes, and for the purposes of the infobox parameter, it did. The Zumwalt class design came after, and was, initially, intended to succeed the Burke class. The Burke class was done, only after it came apparent the Zumwalt class was not going to be built to the needed numbers, was the Burke class restarted. Don't confuse the transitive "succeed" (to come after) with the intransitive "succeed" (to be successful). I would've posted this as a reply to your post on the talk page, but another editor had already reverted it. (And rightly so, considering some of the detours you took... China, Virginia-class subs, etc., etc.). - wolf 23:37, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
