'''Akron''' is a ] in the ] of ] and the ] of ], the fourth most populous county in the state.<ref>http://www.odod.state.oh.us/Research/files/p100000006.pdf</ref> The municipality is located in northeastern ] on the ] between ] to the north and ] to the south, approximately 60 miles (96 km) west of the ] border. Akron was founded in 1825 near the ], and became a manufacturing center owing to its location at a staircase of ]. The locks were needed due to the higher elevation of the area, which gave rise to the name ''Summit County'' as well as ''Akron'', which is a rough translation of ''summit'' into Greek (Stewart, pg. 233). Akros, part of the original ] word akrópolis, means highest. In the early 20th century, Akron was coined a ]. After the decline of heavy manufacturing in the 1970s and '80s, the city's industry has since diversified into research, financial, and high tech sectors. As of 2009, the decline in population has reversed, increasing by 424 people over the year 2008.
I included this in my post at AN/I, but it's worth repeating here:


An encyclopedia isn't intended to be a collection of every single thing that may be related to a subject.

Akron was founded in December 1825 by ]. It began as a small village on the divide between the ] and the ] drainage basins. The village was a 43-block square with its main intersection at Exchange and Main Streets;<ref>{{cite web |url= http://ci.akron.oh.us/history/photos/1825%20Akron%20Plat_x600.JPG|title= Map of the town plat of Akron|accessdate=January 7, 2009 |work= City of Akron, Ohio website|publisher= City of Akron|year= 1825}}</ref> its northern limit was one block beyond State Street.

The village was originally built mainly to serve people using the Ohio and Erie Canal as Akron was located in an area with a series of ]s as the canal ascended from ] to the Portage summit. In 1833, Eliakim Crosby established a "second" Akron just north of the existing village known as Cascade, which would also be referred to locally as "north Akron."<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.funtrivia.com/en/subtopics/Akron-Ohio-202573.html|title= Akron, Ohio- Fun, Facts, and Trivia|accessdate=January 7, 2009 |work= FunTrivia.com|publisher= FunTrivia.com}}</ref> Cascade developed around a construction project originally intended to provide increased water power for industries.

Akron’s history and the history of the rubber industry are intertwined. The rubber industry transformed Akron from a small canal town into a fledgling city.

The rubber industry shaped not just the industrial, but also the residential landscape in Akron. Rubber companies responded to housing crunches caused by the booming rubber business by building affordable housing for workers. Goodyear's president ] built homes costing around $3,500 for employees in what would become known as Goodyear Heights.<ref>http://ci.akron.oh.us/planning/cp/neighborhoods/Goodyear.pdf</ref> Likewise, Harvey Firestone built employee homes in what would be called Firestone Park.<ref>http://ci.akron.oh.us/planning/cp/neighborhoods/FirestonePark.pdf</ref> During this period, ], ''America's Match King'', founded the ] through a merger with the Barber Match Company and others.

===Climate=== == References ==
Akron has a ] climate (] ''Dfa''), with cold but changeable winters, wet, cool springs, warm (sometimes hot) and humid summers, and cool, rather dry autumns. Precipitation is fairly well-distributed through the year, but summer tends to have the most rainfall (and also, somewhat paradoxically, the most sunshine), and autumn the least. The mid-autumn through early-spring months tend to be quite cloudy, with sometimes less than 30% possible sunshine. The cloudiest month is December, and the sunniest month is usually July, which is also the wettest month because most of the precipitation occurs with brief, intense thunderstorms. Winters tend to be cold, with average January high temperatures of 33&nbsp;°F (1&nbsp;°C), and average January lows of 17&nbsp;°F (−8&nbsp;°C), with considerable variation in temperatures. During a typical January, high temperatures of over 50&nbsp;°F (10&nbsp;°C) are just as common as low temperatures of below 0&nbsp;°F (−18&nbsp;°C). Snowfall is lighter than the ] areas to the north, but is still somewhat influenced by ]. ] generally averages about 47.4&nbsp;inches of snow per winter. During a typical winter, temperatures drop below 0&nbsp;°F (−18&nbsp;°C) on about 6 occurrences, generally only during the nighttime hours.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cityrating.com/cityweather.asp?city=Akron |title=Akron Weather History |publisher=CityRating.com |date= |accessdate=2009-04-03}}</ref> Average July high temperatures of 82&nbsp;°F (28&nbsp;°C), and average July lows of 61&nbsp;°F (16&nbsp;°C) are normal.

Temperatures reach or exceed 90&nbsp;°F (32&nbsp;°C) about 9 times each summer, on average.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3?s=12527&refer=|title=Weatherbase: Historical Weather for Akron, Ohio}} Retrieved on 2008-11-13.</ref> In hot summers, such as 1988, however, as many as 30 days over 90&nbsp;°F (32&nbsp;°C) have been observed, and in cooler summers, such as the summer of 2000, the temperature may never reach 90&nbsp;°F (32&nbsp;°C). Temperatures over 100&nbsp;°F (38&nbsp;°C) are rare (about once per decade on average), most recently occurring on several occasions in the hot summer of 1988.

The freeway itself is officially known as "The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Freeway". The freeway was originally designed to connect directly to State Route 8, but plans were laid to rest in the mid seventies due to financial troubles. Advocacy groups such as the have promoted the idea of finishing the freeway, a contrast with the city administration that would like it destroyed and redeveloped. No announcements on its future have been made.

The file ] has been ]&#32;because of the following concern:
What part of assume good faith don't you understand? I split Government and crime in the Akron article into two sections because they really didn't go together. I made a judgment call on Plusquellic's citizen's group and put it in the crime section because it relates to crime. Then I see that you moved it back to politics and called what I did a mistake. I don't really care which section it is in, but crime is certainly a reasonable location and calling it a mistake is completely wrong and insulting. --] (]) 02:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Worth restating here

I included this in my post at AN/I, but it's worth repeating here:

An encyclopedia isn't intended to be a collection of every single thing that may be related to a subject. It's suppose to be something that one can read for a quick overview of important facts about a subject, a starting point for research.. at this point the Akron article is almost TL;DR. --Versageek 17:47, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Something new to work on..

How about something that fits into Category:Lists of butterflies and moths of the United States? Like a list for Ohio? I found a good starting source:Ohio Lepidopterists. Be careful to avoid any accidental copyvio, it's sometimes difficult when you're dealing with brief descriptions. --Versageek 18:15, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok ima get started on it. Yeah i know what you mean from past experiences.--Threeblur0 (talk) 04:46, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

your text editor & non-Latin character sets

I'm not sure what you used to edit the text for this edit, but it trashed the interwiki links at the end of the article that used non-latin character sets. I fixed it. Please avoid including the interwiki links in your edits if you aren't sure what is causing the problem. --Versageek 06:59, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Akron, Ohio. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Ruhrfisch ><>° 04:53, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:TheAkronArtMuseum.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:TheAkronArtMuseum.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:DowntownAkronOhioSkyline.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:DowntownAkronOhioSkyline.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Misplaced Pages (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.
