[edit] Florida

I have reverted the change you made to Florida, stating that it is the largest state east of the Mississippi River, because it is incorrect. As shown at List of U.S. states by area, Michigan is larger if total area is addressed, and if only land area (excluding coastal areas) is considered, Michigan, Georgia, Illinois and Wisconsin are each larger. Down in the geography section, it is noted that Florida is one of the largest states east of the Mississippi River, and only Alaska and Michigan are larger in water area, but it is not the largest.

Florida boasts 65,758 square miles of land mass and 3,800 miles of tidal shoreline."Rahiim03 (talk) 08:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
