Divisions of the United States

While I understand that the United States Census Bureau is a credible source, I don't like the way that so many US Region articles are slanted towards the Census's definitions, including South, Southwest, West, and Midwest. Northeastern United States does a better job at it than the Census-biased articles (at least on its map), I think. The maps and definitions used should not be solely dependent on the Census. Changes should be made to reflect the wider regional definitions, in my opinion. Dustin (talk) 15:30, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This could be a useful section, it was removed without discussion so it's been saved here:Bachcell (talk) 20:59, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As a technological and methodological innovator, the U.S. Census Bureau has long been an incubator for talent^[1].

Question

Has anyone ever seen previous years census figures changed on the United States Census site? I just saw a 2013 figure changed when the 2014 came out. That looks fishy to me, as anyone have ever seen it before? Linda Rider (talk) 05:15, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article Evaluation

The information should be more precise and more direct. I would like to see more visual representation of how the process of census works. Santosde (talk) 04:06, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

-That was a pretty major and very controversial move.  All the more so now with the news that unemployment data from the bureau likely was falsified in 2012 before the presidential election. [[User:JayHubie|JayHubie]] ([[User talk:JayHubie|talk]]) 02:59, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
