[edit] Lincoln in Texas
The article said that there was also a state of Lincoln to be carved out of the territory of Texas in 1869, west and south of the Colorado River. The problem with this that I'm having is twofold: (1) I can find no support for this anywhere and (2) as far as I can determine, in 1869, all of Texas was either west or south of the Colorado River (which sliced off part of the narrow strip that is now in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming). I'm not sure whether or not this should be sent to WP:BJAODN or not. Tomer TALK 02:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- It's disputed and unreferenced, no need to subject it to BJAODN. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 19:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- Except that I just found a reference: [1]. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 19:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
- Ah. Not that Colorado River, but this Colorado River. WP is just chock full of information, wouldn't you say? Restoring the text, having been saved from overzealous deletion. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 19:06, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
hasn't the name cascadia been suggested?
[edit] Two things
One, a National Geographic map I have (I think it's the regional map of the Pacific Northwest from the series of U.S. regional maps they put out 10-15 years ago) suggests that the boundaries of the proposed state of Lincoln in the Inland Empire included a healthy chunk of eastern Oregon, but that doesn't appear here. Anyone know if NG got it wrong, or if we did? Two, to the anon who asked about Cascadia, I believe that name has been proposed for a possible state formed out of western Washington and western Oregon (leaving the eastern halves of both states to unite, presumably into Lincoln or something similar).
