Talk:George, Washington

Untitled
Removed this: ( It is the only city in the United States, named for a President.) Lincoln, Nebraska is a counterexample that pops readily to mind.

Probably someone meant something like "It's the only city that when read with its state's name afterward sounds like the name of a president" but I'm not sure of what value that particular fact might be... -- Someone else 02:15, 10 Aug 2003 (UTC)

I am amazed at the level of random vandalism on this page. For a teeny little agricultural town of 500 people in the middle of the Columbia Basin sagebrush, it sure gets a lot of attention. Hats off to you, Mr. Brown! Nothingofwater (talk) 00:03, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't find it amazing at all. I find it perfectly "normal" (not acceptable, mind you, but normal) that people would choose to vandalize a page for a town with a unique name. -- 70.57.75.185 (talk) 21:37, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Cross-Link with Cristóbal, Colón
Just wondering why user SDY cross-linked this Columbia Gorge city's page with that of another city on the Panama-canal on 7 June. Maybe they are "sister-cities"? Should we make clearer what the connection is? Bookerj (talk) 14:41, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Well, Cristobal Colon is the spanish name of Christopher Columbus, and Cristobal is also a city in the province of colon. Same pun on another same, basically.87.122.43.36 (talk) 15:58, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

 * The link to the city Web site is wrong. I'm not going to fix it, because I don't edit Wikipedia anymore. SimpsonDG (talk) 14:09, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Racial Makeup is Screwy
"The racial makeup of the city was 38.1% White, 1.4% Native American, 59.9% from other races, and 0.6% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 75.0% of the population."

75.0% Hispanic or Latino when 38.1% White? Misplaced decimal point?

 * The data from the 2010 census on which that statement was based is here. The statement accurately reflects the source data.  Race and Hispanic/Latino ethnicity are not the same metric, and one cannot expect to add the percentages of each to arrive at 100%.  General Ization  Talk  05:22, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Neither Hispanic nor Latino are a "race". They are considered an "ethnicity". There are both black and white Latinos, for example, which is why the wording says "Hispanic or Latino of any race". That said, it's a screwy way to say that. A little confusing. I'll try a simple rewrite. 76.178.169.118 (talk) 21:08, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
