Wondering how to edit this State Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. States standards might help.
Requested Image
I'd like to see a simple picture of a Missouri license plate showing the "Show Me" slogan. I found one on the net; but I'd prefer for some Wikipedian to spend 10 minutes with a digital camera and get one that's free and clear to post into the public domain. (We could argue that a cropped portion of Missing image

would be fair use, but I'd
prefer to just having one that no one can argue about).JimD 20:20, 2004 Aug 17 (UTC) (from California's Silicon Valley).
convert to use template:US state and drop English measurements?
I've recently changed Template:US state to make the table more compact and have converted all state articles except Missouri's to use the template. Including the English measurements in addition to metric makes the table entries look awkward in the current version of the template. Kansas is the only other state article that includes English measurements. Anyone care if I convert Missouri to use the template and delete the English measurements? An alterative might be to create a different version of the template that accommodates both English and metric (which I'd be willing to do if anyone strongly cares about preserving the English measurements). -- Rick Block 15:52, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- The US still uses the English system, most of our data sources on US topics use the English system as a result, and many US readers think in terms of the English system. AFAIC, as long as this is the case, we should have both systems referenced in our articles and templates. - jredmond 17:10, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
