Economy

Edit request from Amccollum (talk) 20:47, 19 February 2011 (UTC) - The sentences in the economy section referring to the SBEC can now be updated. Suggested update: "The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBEC) ranked the state #9 for best business-friendly tax systems in SBEC's Business Tax Index 2010, up from #10 the previous year. Ohio was ranked #9 by the SBEC for best friendly-policy states according to their Small Business Survival Index 2010. , Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council Survival Index 2010 retrieved 19 Feb 2011.

Police Car and Universities

The date 1899 should probably be on the caption of police car, as it stands it looks like the caption refers to the contemporary car in the picture originating from Akron (which it does).

AFIT is a Federal degree granting institution in Ohio, yet it is not listed on the short list instead one must go to the long list. Since it is the only federal degree granting institution in Ohio, with many notable alumni, it should be on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.70.200.107 (talk) 17:41, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Edit Request: Earthquakes

The current section on earthquakes is outdated, specifically the section reading: "The most recent earthquake in Ohio of any appreciable magnitude occurred on January 8, 2008, at 8:34:46 PM local time. It had a magnitude of 3.1, and its epicenter was under Lake Erie, northeast of Cleveland, approximately 9.7 km (6 mi) west of Mentor-on-the-Lake.[45]" On June 5th, 2011 a Magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck Medina county. It was centered 14 miles southwest of Medina, under Lodi. http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/weather/weather_news/a-small-earthquake-struck-medina-county-sunday,-a-rare-event-for-that-area — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.188.201.100 (talk) 23:31, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

More significantly, the section on Earthquakes is overwhelmingly more detailed than is warranted in a general article on Ohio. Currently it is every bit as large as the section on climate and about twice the length of the section on the colonial and revolutionary eras. More is said about earthquakes than the highway system and legislature combined. Earthquakes are simply not that major a topic for a Midwestern state. One sentence about earthquakes, with a link to a separate article, would be plenty and to spare. --Jonadab, 2011 Nov 03 —Preceding undated comment added 13:13, 3 November 2011 (UTC).

The National politics section needs updated to show that the current senators are Republican Rob Portman and Democrat Sherrod Brown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burninator177 (talk • contribs) July 19, 2011

Ohio State-Michigan Rivalry

When discussing the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry, the article says, "As of December 2010 the Buckeyes have won the last seven matchups," but Michigan won the last matchup in November, 2011. I think that the article should instead say, "Michigan currently leads the series 58–43–6." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.204.140.183 (talk) 00:53, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

There's a pretty comprehensive article about the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry already. This article is about Ohio, and the fact of the matter is that the Buckeyes have pretty much owned That School Up North for pretty much the past 10 years. You do realize this article isn't about football, right? Ryecatcher773 (talk) 07:41, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't matter what the article is about. The fact of the matter is that the article says something that is just plain wrong. It says that Ohio has won the last seven matchups, when in fact they lost last year. If it's better to not mention football at all, then the error should be removed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.204.140.183 (talk) 02:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
