[edit] Combine economy into a state economy section
Economy is explained by city: Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa. These need to be merged into a state section. It may be necessary to state a city when explaining "iron", for example, but that should be a byproduct of the discussion. Right now, it is a bottom-up explanation instead of a top-down, which is should be. This way is regionally chauvanistic. Student7 (talk) 02:09, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- Just did this. So it looks okay superficially. The merger was a "bit" rocky and still needs smoother integration. But at least it is Alabama now and not merely a collection of cities.
- Incidentally, most of the previous city writeups were great and should go there if not there already. Student7 (talk) 13:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Secession
An editor has consistently reverted my simplification of "declared its secession" to "seceded" since "seceded" is "quite possibly" pov. What in the world??!!!! The state seceded. Why use a contorted way of saying that? Let's make it simple for foreigners. And what is the problem, anyway? Student7 (talk) 20:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
- The user seems to be claiming succession did not happen, since it was later deemed illegal/null by the US Supreme Court. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:17, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Graduation rate
Like all statistics on the South, education tends to look worse than the rest of the country. Sometimes (Mississippi) this is correct. It may or may not be for Alabama. The reason is that when whites are compared to whites ("up north") they often do fairly well. Similarly, when blacks are compared to blacks nationwide, they often do better than average. The cards tend to be stacked against the South when comparing everybody in one big melting pot, which the South is not. Student7 (talk) 21:10, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
