 * Hi Chippypeddays, I believe I have updated to be more current and include a note about the future renaming. You're always welcome to edit the page itself if you want or ask for help with potential edits. Skynxnex (talk) 21:39, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Self-explanatory sentence tagged with how
Prohibition closed a brewery in 1916. How? Take a wild guess. When discussing the word "Prohibition" in any article involving the United States, it always refers to the prohibition of alcohol, which is common knowledge. -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 23:21, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to bet that by now there are young people in the United States who don't know even highlights of the country's history from a century ago. In addition, this is not American Wikipedia. I would imagine there were events and terms of comparable importance to Danes, Indonesians, and Ethiopians that took place during the first third of the twentieth century that you know nothing about.

Geography Map is mislabeled
The Map in the Geography Section with the caption "Adjacent jurisdictions on a map of the greater Alexandria region" is mislabeled. The area marked "Alexandria" is not Alexandria, but actually part of Fairfax County. Alexandria is located farther north, north of I-495, not south of it. Likewise, "Falls Church" and "Arlington" are in the wrong places. Both locations are much farther north, so far north that both locations aren't on the map. 216.24.45.35 (talk) 04:51, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you, you're absolutely right. "Arlington" was positioned at the south edge of the city of Alexandria, and "Falls Church" was way too far south. I've removed the map. If someone else wants to come along and restore it after fixing the label locations in the template, that will be fine. I don't have the time to tinker with that.
