[edit] Fix'd

I'm not sure why the comment about Austin being further south than Tallahassee and Honolulu was in there, but I'm assuming the author was trying to compare latitudes of state capitals. In any case, the statement is false, as Honolulu is much further south than Austin. So, I changed it to say that Austin is further south than all US state capitals except Honolulu. --LoveCowboy2024

That was my false info, THNX But it is only 3deg farther south than austin. :) Joe I 11:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Search

Can someone search Geography of Texas on wikipedia, and see how many kb this article is? For some reason it won't find it. IU get moscow, texas as #1 hit. Joe I 09:52, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

The Yahoo! search engine says the article is 66k. -JCarriker 21:41, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't think about doin it on yahoo...Thnx :) Longer than I thought Joe I 08:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

• You're welcome. -JCarriker 08:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good article

Article is currently on hold for the following reasons:

• A citation is required for the second sentence in the lead. ("Occuping about 7 percent of the total water and land area of the U.S., it is the second largest state after Alaska, and is the southernmost part of the Great Plains, which ends in the south against the folded Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico." — 7% requires a citation.)
• I don't know about using [17] on the heading #Resources, as it goes against WP:MOSHEAD.

Other than this, I don't see what's stoppping it. Iolakana|^T 18:50, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

The ref has been added. I left a message on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (headings), because I couldn't find out how just by reading that. The only way I can figure is to remove the ref tag and place a footnote at the bottom...Oh wait, I'll try just moving the ref to the bottom of the section... Joe I 02:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hows that work for ya? Joe I 02:38, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Seems fine now. Iolakana|^T 18:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
