== Law and Government Section Update Needed ==

The Law and Government section of this article needs to be updated to reflect the February, 2015 death of State Auditor [[Tom Schweich]], and subsequent appointment of [[Nicole Galloway]] as his successor. I attempted to update the article myself, but ran into technical difficulties. Any assistance from my fellow Wikipedians in resolving this issue would be most appreciated. --[[User:TommyBoy|TommyBoy]] ([[User talk:TommyBoy|talk]]) 00:43, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

== Status Of Mule's Classification Within Being A State Insignia ==

Currently the mule is listed as Missouri's state mammal, this however is somewhat very wrong to the best of my knowledge and I have primary sources to back! As per RSMo 10.110, "Official animal. — The Missouri Mule, known for its strength, hardiness, intelligence and even temper, is selected for and shall be known as the official animal of the state of Missouri."<ref>{{cite web |title=Revised Statutes of Missouri, RSMo Section 10.110 |url=https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=10.110 |website=Missouri Revisor of Statutes |publisher=Revisor of Missouri}}</ref> Note 'animal,' not 'mammal.' This doesn't seem to be some outdated statute either, the Secretary of State's website affirms this claim.<ref>{{cite web |title=Missouri's State Animal |url=https://www.sos.mo.gov/symbol/animal |website=Missouri Secretary of State |publisher=Missouri Secretary of State |access-date=15 June 2021}}</ref> I'd like to know if there is a Wikipedia standard that requires the mule to called "state mammal" or if there is some newer piece of a statute nobody knows about. Seems like a simple minor change but just want to make sure; sig: [[User:Aramantha|Aramantha]] 16:43, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

{{Reflist-talk}}

:The infobox template with the state symbols doesn't support an "Animal" parameter. It probably should have an "Animal" parameter added so that the category follows the statute. There is a "domestic animal" parameter, and an "other" parameter. "Other" is grouped with inanimate insignia, although it contains pawpaws as Missouri's state fruit tree (so that's another problem with the infobox template as it now stands).

== "Ozark National Scenic Riverways Quarter" is not the Missouri State Quarter. ==

The caption of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways Quarter falsely calls it the Missouri State Quarter. The quarter pictured is a 2017 quarter part of the America the beautiful series. <ref>https://www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/america-the-beautiful-quarters/ozark-national-scenic-riverways</ref> What is so perplexing about this is that the actual Missouri State Quarter (minted in 2003) <ref>https://www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/50-state-quarters/missouri</ref> was pictured above in the article, but was instead captioned "Commemorative US quarter featuring the Lewis and Clark expedition".[[User:JMM12345|JMM12345]] ([[User talk:JMM12345|talk]]) 01:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC)JMM12345

== Imminent Release of US Census Bureau 2020 Population Centroid​ Determination​ ==

I'm excited to know that the US Census Bureau is about to release its 2020 US Population Centroid location.

I believe that this data release will be notable because it will show an historic slowdown in centroid movement, probably the slowest since the 1910-1920 period as an aging population, ongoing economic difficulties, and the impact of the pandemic work to reduce both the means and reason for Americans to move.

Using a method validated in predicting the location of the 2010 US population center, my estimation for the location of the 2020 centroid is: 37.410844 N; 92.364605 W.

This position is 12.83 miles/20.65 kilometers southwest of the 2010 centroid.

This spot is located in Wright County, MO, about 10 miles southwest of Plato, MO and 13.63 miles northeast of Hartville, MO. It remains closer to Plato than Hartville, but I’m thinking that the Bureau may opt to name Hartville the center given its symbolic name. We’ll see soon.

Judging from past performance, this estimate should be within a mile or two of the official position (that’s the best I can do because I’m working with state-level data). I’ll inform exactly how far off once the Census calculation is released.

Best,

The citation given here is Nichols and Nyholm's "A Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe." I have this book, and I could not find this etymology attested in it (in fact, there is no entry for "Missouri," or for the romanizations suggested at the beginning of this section). If nobody can find a more precise citation for this fact, then I suggest that it should probably be removed.

The first mention of the general phrase appears written in multiple ways in the only cited source (a video) for the first mention in the article: "THE SHOW-ME STATE" (with 'the' and additionally hyphenated) on welcome sign, "SHOW ME STATE" (no 'the' at all) on 2008-2018 license plate, and "the 'Show Me' State" on a book cover. There is inconsistent styling as shown in the medley of the cited video, but certainly as from [[Vehicle registration plates of Missouri]], which is mentioned in the second place it was edited it in the Missouri article, the styling of "the Show Me State" is wrong as 'the' is never included in the design of a Missouri license plate. Hyphenation of "Show-Me" is on the plates longer than the unhyphenated styling, as well as appearing on the welcome sign shown in the cited video. I'm tempted to say that it should be hyphenated in the article, but ultimately it is a nickname and with that in mind however most people spell it would probably be most right, which I think would be without hyphenation. Back to the matter of "the" inclusion, that makes everything I cited above perhaps not relevant. But in keeping with the styling of the two other mentioned nicknames ("Mother of the West" and "Cave State") I think it best to leave out "the" and I will revert or clean after any edits attempting to add it into the quotation marks.


is terminally broken; the archived page simply says "watch the video" for a video that no longer loads. The nickname is discussed later in the page, under the "Nicknames" section, so this reference can probably be removed and/or replaced by a reference from that section.

why?

[edit]

why is this protected, this isn't even an important city? do wikipedians live there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.171.110.135 (talk) 09:04, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, it is not a city, it is a state. Secondly, more than six million people live there.
Also it's especially vulnerable to malicious edits as there's a popular tweet about changing the size of the state on the map in this page's infobox which has been floating around the internet since 2015, which is when I belive the semi-protected status was added.

Maybe the state should be bigger to reflect the changed version of the map? 199.48.156.6 (talk) 09:49, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
