Undid revision 1351546025 by PerpetuityGrat (talk) Not sure why I should have to
justify adding relevant information to an article. The revert was done because
the argument of "the source is small" does not provide any justification for
removing the infiormation.

In March of 2026, Shipley was confronted by a [[Cedar Falls]] about a bill which
made [[Ivermectin]] available over the counter. In response, Shipley called the
resident a "[[retard (pejorative)|r*tarded]] [[faggot|f*ggot]]". After facing
backlash from this incident, Shipley apologized to the resident, stating "I'm
sorry for calling you a name, but in my defense you were being super
condescending and
antagonistic."<ref>https://iowastartingline.com/2026/03/25/iowa-rep-jeff-shipley-called-a-cedar-falls-resident-slurs-after-he-confronted-shipley-about-a-bill/</ref>

{{Nihongo|'''Mechagodzilla'''|メカゴジラ|Mekagojira|lead=yes}} is a [[mecha]]
''[[kaiju]]'' (a giant robotic monster) who first appeared in the 1974 film,
''[[Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla]]''. In the Showa era ''[[Godzilla

extraterrestrial invaders called Simeon to confront and destroy [[Godzilla

with [[King Ghidorah]], Mechagodzilla is commonly considered to be an
[[archenemy]] of Godzilla.

socially and economically as a suburb of another urban area rather than as a
self-contained urban entity, or is geographically remote from other urban
communities. Accordingly, the new definition set out three distinct types of

Urban areas consist of a densely-settled urban core, plus surrounding developed
areas that meet certain density criteria. Since urban areas are composed of
census blocks and not cities, counties, or county-equivalents, urban area
boundaries may consist of partial areas of these political units. Urban areas
are distinguished from [[rural areas]]: any area not part of an urban area is
considered to be rural by the Census Bureau.<ref name="US 2020 criteria" />
