A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on February 14, 2011.

LGBT section under Demographics?

What purpose does it serve to have this paragraph in the Demographics section? Nothing in the paragraph has anything to do with actual demographics; it's about a recent constitutional amendment. In addition, the paragraph is repeated word-for-word later under the "Government" section. Unless someone provides a meaningful reason for its inclusion under Demographics, I am going to remove it in a few days. The paragraph will still be in the article, just under "Government" where it belongs. Sevey13 (talk) 16:22, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There Is No census In Arizona

Remove claims of census data for Arizona in 1990, 2000, and 2010. It's false. It doesn't exist. Look it up, if you don't believe me. The Census Bureau has estimates for Arizona, not actual census data. In my 26 years (all in one of the largest cities in Arizona), I have never been included in proper census data. Arizona does not do the census polls/surveys. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.223.45.150 (talk) 05:22, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

State Tree might be wrong?

50States.com has the state tree listed as the Yellow Palo Verde (Parkinsonia microphylla) listed rather than the Blue Palo Verde.

Arizona state symbols has just Palo Verde listed as the state tree (under fast facts for kids).

Since there is a discrepancy between several sources, what would be the correct information to post here as the state tree?
