capitals

edit

recognizing that this topic is in being AFD'd, I don't think it helps to have unsourced speculations on what the capital might be. I am pasting them here until there is a reputable source for the capitals

<<quotation>>The following cities have been proposed as a capital for the proposed state:

<</quotation>>

Add one more: Bruce Crossing. Then Joe Zimmer erected a billboard proclaiming "Governor's Mansion" next to his mobile home on Highway 28 and proposing Bruce Crossing (population 551) in Ontonagon County as "the capital of the 51st state." [1]

area code 906

edit

unsourced statement about 906/616 area code split should be either sourced or removed. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 01:04, 24 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

indeed this split passes without comment at http://www.areacode-info.com/!history/1960s.htm which suggests that the 906 code was part of a gradual fine tuning of the whole North American Numbering Plan. Edward Vielmetti (talk) 01:10, 24 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Superior (proposed U.S. state)Superior (state)WP:PRECISION, like lately on Talk:Washington_(U.S._state)#Requested_move_-_Washington_(state).--TopoChecker (talk) 22:09, 19 January 2011 (UTC) comment by banned editorReply

Oppose. The clause in question also says disambiguators should be precise enough; they should also be accurate. There has never been a state of Superior. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:37, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
Good point. The main difference here is that Washington is an actual state at this time and not a name of a hypothetical state that may or may not exist in the future. Also the title may confuse cause confusion (especially for people who are not from the US) and imply that there is currently a state name Superior when there is in fact not one. This issue does not exist for Washington.--76.66.180.54 (talk) 22:56, 19 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • I think it depends on how one interprets the dab term. If it is to distinguish one base term from another then Superior (state) does that well. A specific description whether that was a state in a novel or a state proposal would violate WP:PRECISION. It also does not matter whether this was proposed U.S. state or a proposed Mexican state. But if the dab term is meant to be read as <base term> is a/was a/is located in <dab term> then the proposal above would violate correctness.

No active movement?

edit

I don't know if the statement that there is no active state movement is true now as it was in 2012. I do know I keep getting ads for a Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/StateofSuperior), but I don't think that alone can establish notability (as far as being verifiable through an independent, reliable source). Does anyone know if this group has achieved discussion in a newsworthy medium? -- JeffBillman (talk) 15:58, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

@JeffBillman Not nearly, no. Most of this talk is in smaller groups complaining and no intent to push the movement further. Archigan (talk) 00:03, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
