Human, I have Prairie being overwritten by Home on my screen. The image appears ok--as an aside I did find another coin image that displayed like the Maryland one we discussed a week or so ago.--Remarcsd 06:18, 7 October 2007 (EDT)

Sorry, all I did was make it look ok on my screen. I'll add another br? for more space? humanbe in 06:20, 7 October 2007 (EDT)
Hmmm, downsized one "big". italicized, & c. Is it ok now? humanbe in 06:23, 7 October 2007 (EDT)
Close but now I have Prairie Home being overwritten by Companion by about the width of the font. I.e. the final o in Companion and the one in Home look like an 8. --Remarcsd 06:27, 7 October 2007 (EDT)
It all pretty to me... I'll go load it up on my flaptop, out of kuriosity. Maybe your 'puter just tries to make your life miserable? I know mine does... Oh, what's your screen res? humanbe in 06:39, 7 October 2007 (EDT)
Sorry for the tardy response, had to duck out for a while. Screen res is 1024 x 768 (not widescreen, which probably goes without saying).--Remarcsd 08:27, 7 October 2007 (EDT)
S'ok, I fell down myself, too. Anyway, I checked it on my (800 x 600) flaptop, and it wraps, doing what you describe. The 1st version had a forced wrap (several BR's after "home"), but not enough space to unglom the words for you. Then I got rid of one or two "big" tags, and removed the BRs - so I see it all on one line. Of course, when it wraps, it creates what you see. Which, in an odd way, I liked when I saw it! Because it make all "one word"... Anyway, feel free to edit it up to make it work on your screen, if I don't get to it first. humanbe in 16:56, 7 October 2007 (EDT)

Ventura[edit]

Um...I don't think he's governor anymore. (I mean, he was elected about a decade ago.) Just sayin'. Researcher 22:08, 10 December 2007 (EST)

Voting issue[edit]

Thanks for the refs, but "Don't blame me I voted for Mondale" rings in my ears. MA was the only state to go against Reagan in '84, I thought? ħumanUser talk:Human 03:52, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

That was Minnesota; Mondale got about 0.1% more of the vote than Reagan and that was only because he was from Minnesota. Massachusetts was the only state to go against Nixon in 1972. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 04:02, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
I still want to see better refs (I'm not going to revert, though). Actually the bumper sticker as I remember was "don't blame me, I'm from Massachusetts". What pisses me off is how hard it is to get this data from the People's Encyclopedia!
OK, yeah, 1984, only MN went Mondale. I guess the bumper stickers said "don't blame me, I voted for...". Thanks, and sorry for the bother. ħumanUser talk:Human 04:26, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Ah, I get it. '72 is what I was remembering. One state went Dem: MA ħumanUser talk:Human 04:27, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

"RWians from"[edit]

Do we want to do this with all our US state and ROW country articles? Should they either be footnoted or self-added for general honesty? ħumanUser talk:Human 02:42, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

I have a better idea... Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 02:44, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
I can work with that. ħumanUser talk:Human 02:56, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

This new article is shitty[edit]

Why not just redirect this page to the funspace article? Reckless Noise Symphony (talk) 11:40, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Don't let me stop yo. I don't see the point of these state articles anyway. SophieWilderModerator 18:32, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
