[edit] Naming convention

I've proposed a standard form for naming articles on Ohio school districts: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Ohio school districts), which could easily be extended to apply to districts in other states. I'd welcome some feedback on this. PedanticallySpeaking 16:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

The Wikipedia article List_of_U.S._states_by_date_of_statehood contains a footnote saying "Congress extended federal laws to Ohio on February 19, 1803, but no formal date of statehood was set by the act of admission or a later resolution, as occurred with all other new states. On August 7, 1953, Congress passed a law retroactively making Ohio a state as of March 1, 1803, the date when Ohio's first legislature convened." This begs the question of whether or not Ohio was considered a state before 1953. When and how did Ohio actually become a state? When did Congress first offficial recognize Ohio's statehood? Does anyone have the answer?

[edit] Early 20th century

I added a section about the Klu Klux Klan in the early 20th century in Ohio and the Grand Dragon of Indiana.^[1]--Margrave1206 (talk) 02:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I am concerned about the balance of the section, as it is only two sentences long and makes some rather wild claims not supported by the provided reference. Instead of removing the section outright (per WP:PROVEIT,) I've decided to give the section the benefit of the doubt. Please consider improving it by adding more context- perhaps the section could be renamed "Race relations in Ohio" or something like that. As it stands, the section comes out of nowhere, and is of little use to the reader. --Confiteordeo (talk) 22:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Someone deleted my section with a valid link about the KKK in Ohio, they called it trivia. It has been restored however have can historical fact be trivia when the whole Ohio article is nothing but unimportant trivia. I notice that the historical section doesn't even cover the harsh anti black migration tactics used by Ohio. I imagine uncomfortable subjects are considered trivia.--Margrave1206 (talk) 03:45, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I notice that your edits don't even cover the "harsh anti black migration tactics used by Ohio," either. I've reverted your edit because I feel that it adds nothing to the article without proper historical context (and borders on copyright infringement from your source.) Please consider adding a more contextual and balanced section instead. --Confiteordeo (talk) 05:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

It wasnt you that removed the section unless you have another name and said it was nothing more than triva. Why write anything about the ""harsh anti black migration tactics used by Ohio," obviously there is no racism in Ohio so did it even happen? I am sure the people of Ohio are blamless. I looked at the page history. Since several of you "editors" seem to be the rulers of the article and want to protect the image of Ohio at all cost, it does no good to add valid information. Like I said you prove that you are bias and want a white American view of history. How very America.This article is a disgrace and shows a non neutral view of the few. It should be deleted.--Margrave1206 (talk) 14:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
