	Sorry the first few answers are so big, I tried multiple layouts to make it better but there was really nothing I could do.

	Should I just cut out the extra info?

	mlbnflwhiz:	Mar 5th, 2011 at 22:27 GMT		1 point
	list the top 5 or so and cut out the rest

	Trying something new, no extra info but I added the states the UAs cover.

	This is in no way a knock of Roxelana's quiz, but this concept of UA makes very little sense to me. I went to the Census Bureaus' link and found it more confusing than enlightening. I don't understand why Appleton-Oshkosh needs a UA designation when north central metros Madison, Milwaukee, Minneapolis & St Paul do not. Or Miami being excluded while far less urbanized areas in Florida are designated UA's. Anybody have a concise explanation of what constitutes a UA and how it might be useful?

	This list isn't Urban Areas--you listed potential Urban Agglomerations, which are made up of component Urban Areas. You therefore miss Urban Areas like Miami and Minneapolis-Saint Paul. You either need to change the title to reflect what you're actually looking for or actually go for Urban Areas.

	@hminion, Read the entire page, these are exactly what I said they are, proposed sets of UAs, some split from larger ones or to be split from larger ones. They say they recognize a single area for example from MD to MA (which would be about 40 million people) but concede that it's a bit too unwieldy and tried to cut it up into smaller ones like NY-Philly, the first one on the list. @minnmich, Really basically, UA is an area of continuous development (like no rural or empty gaps between suburbs and cities), I'm guessing they didn't list certain ones like Minneapolis because it's not up for being changed or revised, though I don't really know. Why it might be useful? To tell you how many people live in a given "connected" area I guess, I'm not sure entirely what it's worth beyond that but it can give you a better idea of some populations that are split up by commuter rates in MSAs and CSAs. For what it's worth, the UN uses UAs for classification, or so I'm told.

	The problem is that these are ones that are currently multiple UAs that they are considering merging into single UAs. So we're not being asked for the largest UAs or anything, just the ones that were previously classified as multiple areas that they're thinking of classifying as singles. I dunno, but somehow this doesn't cross my threshold of interesting geography data. The concept is odd enough to begin with, and being asked to name some but not others seems kind of arbitrary.
