Talk:Illinois

The US Census Bureau has officially stated Illinois did not lose population at the 2020 census. The state's population grew by approximately 250,000 people, putting Illinois at over 13 million people for the first time in it's history. This means Illinois has never lost population at any ten-year census count. The question remains, why is Wikipedia using the incorrect data originally released by the Census Bureau for the state's population, but not using the corrected/revised data released by the Census Bureau several weeks later, when the Census Bureau admitted the original data was not accurate? If this were about New York City and the Census Bureau came back and stated the population went up and not down, I'm sure you guys would be quick to adjust that in its article. Other regions don't get the same consideration? Is Wikipedia playing favoritism? Wikipedia is an internet encyclopedia, it should strive to have the correct information in its articles. 2600:8801:131C:6F00:845A:9DF6:D4D6:EE88 (talk) 16:56, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

why is there no mention of which states borders with illinois in the opening description instead of the bordering waterways?

Every other states and nations seem to have that information.

Edit: The article about Virginia also seem to lack a mention of neighbouring states.
