Talk:Iowa/Archive 2

can somebody please explain how it is possible?

"The five largest ancestry groups in Iowa are: ... American (6.6%) ... The racial make up of the state is ... 0.4% American Indian. One percent of respondents report two or more races."

So where are that 5,2% of Iowa, who have American ancestry, but are not belonging to the American race, and are not belonging to two or more races? Who are they?

That's a Census classification, not a Wikipedia one, so I can't say for sure. Just a guess, though, but perhaps "American" refers to those who answered the survey with "American" instead of "German" or some-such? Someone at the Wikipedia:Reference desk might know, otherwise. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 19:45, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

In the section under "Sports", it says: "The Quad City Mallards games are played in Moline, Illinois as part of the Central Hockey League."

I know Moline is part of the Quad Cities and thus there is some cultural connection with Iowa; nevertheless, this is an Illinois team. Do we really want it here? Kansan (talk) 18:00, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Good question. Do you know if they are primarily affiliated with Moline in particular or with the Quad Cities as a whole? From their name, it seems they might be affiliated with the Quad Cities generally (and would potentially belong in the article). --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 19:19, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

with professional sports franchises (even semi pro) use the place in their name to denote the area of operation. For example: The New England Patriots would be within their charter to move the team to say Hartford, Connecticut or Providence, Rhodes Island without changing their name. I would say that the Quad City Mallards belong to the area not to a single state. Two of the Quad Cities are in Iowa so it belongs in this article as long as there is a place for it. Despyria (talk) 03:04, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I didn't read all the political sections, but this one wasn't done well. Wrong information, partisan language, slanted adjectives, and poor grammar. To top all that off there is little to no context and even less critical information to support the suppositions. The question becomes, is this a section that has value or is it propaganda? The one I just edited was a political piece froth with easily disproved errors and framed in a subjective manner. The framing is still subjective and the section is suspect to me. Despyria (talk) 02:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

While I don't see any "propoganda" there, it is poorly written, outdated, and has an inappropriate emphasis on the presidency and federal government. The paragraph on congressmen looks somewhat slanted and is sufficiently outdated that it could probably be removed without hurting anything. Oh, and the entire thing is unreferenced. If you wanted to spend some time fixing it up, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate it! (I'd help, but I'm pushing a long-delayed Iowa project of my own at the moment.) – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 03:58, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Personally I'd scrap the whole section as useless. Look at the previous verse of the Voter trends because that's a cleaned up one. The information was largely wrong and easily variably so. As you pointed out it had little to do with actually anything but trivia. I think I could polish it but I would be banging my head against the wall for something that I don't see as substantive. I'll wait to see if anyone else weighs in with why this is worth while before I eliminate it. Despyria (talk) 20:59, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Go ahead, then. I'd leave the first four sentences - the broad history - in the "political parties" section if the entire voter trends section is going to be removed, though. – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 03:07, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

The phrase, "Other communities with vibrant historic downtown areas include" appears four times in the article. Once would constitute wishful thinking. Four times amount to fantasy of the highest order.

Iowa is, in global terms, a farming backwater. To suggest that any part of it is "vibrant" shows a disconnect with the world. This may, ironically, be quite a suitable outlook for an Iowan. However, Wikipedia is supposed to be a global encyclopaedia, rather than a sort of hokey advertisement for dreams of the quiet life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.111.8 (talk) 23:04, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Iowa Wikipedians! Long time. Just wanted to let you know that I have finally put my collection of 7204 photographs from 213 towns in 59 counties in Iowa on line.

They can be found at: http://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/cdm/search/collection/iowatowns

It's the only state with two vowels for its abbreviation. It's the only state whose eastern and western borders are formed by rivers. Who actually cares about this meaningless nonsense? This is not encyclopedic. Is Wikipedia just a place-mat in a truck-stop diner? Is it the only state who's third largest county contains more than seventeen obelisks? Can I put that in?

One of my favorite states; looking forward to reading the article! — Wug·a·po·des​ 00:27, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

• A first comment while skimming the article, I feel like the lead may not be an adequate summary. There seem to be sections on "law and government" and "culture" which I don't think is covered in the lead. Also there seems to be an outstanding expansion tag at Iowa#Arts which will need resolved before I can pass the article. — Wug·a·po·des​ 00:34, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
