:File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: The new flag has not been officially adopted. The existing flag will remain in the article until the state formally changes it. --Sable232 (talk) 17:08, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Effective date of new flag change

May 11, 2024 is the effective date.

Previous discussion mentions two dates for the new flag change, both based upon press articles. This is probably based upon Wikipedia's preference for interpretation of original materials. However, to resolve the conflicting dates, I point out that the Flag of Minnesota article links to the statute which states the official effective date.[https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=HF1830&version=0&session=ls93.0&session_year=2023&session_number=0&type=ccr] SEWilco (talk) 18:17, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

"Scalable" map hard to read, doesn't zoom in

The map has a lot of odd character spacing in the place names, making some of them hard to read; for example, St Croix River looks more like S. Crd xRiver. Also, hovering over the map turns the cursor into a + symbol, which normally means you can click to zoom in, but clicking zooms the image out instead. 2601:642:C201:210:D473:4D77:27B5:BE8E (talk) 01:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Issues with Opening Section

There are several issues with the opening section, particularly around sourcing, which is somewhat poor in several paragraphs.

For example the article lists Minnesota as “one of the richest states in GDP and per capita income.” This claim isn’t sourced. Per Wiki Minnesota ranks 20th and 19th in GDP and GDP/capita and 13th in per capita income. This language feels a little fanciful. Mvdltn (talk) 05:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected|Minnesota|answered=yes}}

Under Economy > Industry and Commerce, the sentence

"The state is the nation's largest producer of sugar beets, sweet corn, and peas for processing, and farm-raised turkeys."

should be changed to

"The state is the nation's largest producer of sugar beets, sweet corn, peas for processing, and farm-raised turkeys."
