[edit] In popular culture
I had someone review this section and they agreed with one of the comments on film, and their suggestion was that Grumpy Old Men and Fargo be mentioned in this section. I threw something together quick, but I'm definitely not a film expert, so if anyone is and can run with something like this please do:
"Minnesota's winters have also been noticed by Hollywood. The 1993 film Grumpy Old Men is set in Wabasha, Minnesota during the winter season. Winter activities such as ice fishing are main themes of the film. The 1996 movie Fargo also features the backdrop of a Minnesota winter, but in this instance it was a much more bleak portrait. Several scenes in the film portray the Minnesota winter as barren and descolate, with ever present cold temperatures, and snow blown, white out landscapes." Gopher backer 16:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- I put something similar in the article. (Everyone) feel free to work on it some more. --Appraiser 16:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- Same here. Kablammo 17:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Culture of Minnesota
I have created Culture of Minnesota and stole the paragraph from here because it was getting too big. I Added a main article link as well. Can someone trim down the section here? -Ravedave (Adopt a State) 18:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] FA status
Congratulations to those who have brought this to FA status so soon after its creation. It is an impressive and well-researched body of work.
I believe that some sections could still benefit from a copyedit and some tightening. I will do that, on a section-by-section basis, so that changes anyone disagrees with my changes can more easily revert them. Kablammo 01:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- A thanks to those who helped out on the In popular culture section. It was thrown together at a moment's notice and I think it really rounded out the article nicely. Gopher backer 03:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- Glad to help out. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 19:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article of theDay
Anyone want to add this to Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests? A solstice or equinox would be good days. -Ravedave (Adopt a State) 04:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Is the Train actually stuck?
I found something in the MHS photo archive, here is the caption:
Southern Minnesota Division, Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul passenger train coming through a snow cut near Sherburne.'
They don't actually show the picture, but it looks like the same thing. Gopher backer 16:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
