I think this article is going to achieve the record for "Most Wikiprojects for a Single Article".  :D --Bedford 02:11, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeap, and I think it also takes the prize as the article nobody wanted to start because it's such a potentially huge subject. I'm happy you dove in. I was thinking of starting it myself if nobody else did by the end of the month. But I'm always happy to be beat to the punch. By the way, I've made sure that most (I think) articles that reference this subject are linking to this article now. I'm not sure if I caught them all, but I tried.

I thought about adding it to the WPA article, but I wasn't sure where to add it.--Bedford 02:52, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rainfall in Cairo

A statement in the second paragraph that doesn't ring true. Either a fact wrong, or there is need for disambiguation. This statement says "The average rainfall in Cairo is four and a half inches per year." That certainly is not true of Cairo, Illinois (which seems to be one of the subjects of this article). Cairo, IL is about half way between St. Louis and Memphis. According to WorldClimate.com, the annual rainfall in St. Louis is about 37 inches per year [1], and in Memphis about 52 inches per year [2]. Both of those values are an order of magnitude more than the quoted value. If the correct intention is to refer to the rainfall in Egypt, the statement seems to be out of place in this article. If the intention is to state the average rainfall in Illinois, then the value is wrong. If someone can explain the intention of the statement, I'd be glad to make a correction.
