Tribes

Where are the FIPS codes for the tribes in Wisconsin? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.189.41.11 (talk) 15:19, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lets make this a FL!!!!!

OK, we will need to get a few things done, then a peer revirew, a copy edit and BAM, off to FL nomination. Here is what we would need. NOTE: This is based on the WV FL which just passed over a week ago.

Formed from, counties need to be wiki linked, additionally, we need a ref or explanation behind, the term unclaimed territory.

About the unclaimed territory issue, this reference on the origin of Wisconsin is excellent! Royalbroil 02:06, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology, titles like President, Senator, etc ec, need to be wiki linked

Population, are these 2010 census, if not, they need to be updated

They are all updated to the 2010 census per [1]. Royalbroil 12:06, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Links, one or 2 are broken, I can get that

The introduction paragraphs, someone needs to stun the world with a few paragraphs about Wisconsin counties, most populated, least populated, largest etc etc. Additionally, there has to be something that is unique to Wisconsin in regard to the counties. AND all of that needs to be refd. Its does NOT matter what is unique, as long as it is, Wisconsin

I can link the counties, and finish the county click map, and of course take a look at the refs

Dallas County renamed to Barron

Whoah, this I did not know. SO, I have inserted a table for the renamed county and what happened to itCoal town guy (talk) 02:27, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also La Pointe County, Wisconsin. Royalbroil 12:06, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

COOLIO, I bet you set this up to teach me about Wisconsin, didnt you?Coal town guy (talk) 13:26, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found it at Category:Former counties of the United States. That's the only one from Wisconsin to answer your next question. Royalbroil 05:09, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

COUNTY questions

OK OK Wisconsonites, out there, I have found 2 (two) counties that have been renamed. Thats swell. Do we know, yes or no, if there are any more extinct counties, former counties etc etc?? IF there are, let us know as this is going to have a try out at the FL. AND it would be MONUMENTALLY disappointing if at the FL review, someone were to say, OMG, you forgot about.........I am 100% certain that out there in WIKI ether land, there must be a spirit that does not bend nor break, concerning Wisconsin history...PLEASE let us know...Coal town guy (talk) 16:22, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that we're strictly speaking about the counties when Wisconsin was a state, not the Wisconsin Territory? Royalbroil 05:09, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know yes, all data is post 1848. I have yet to poisr refs for it as I just started compiling a listCoal town guy (talk) 14:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Of note, the residents of Battle Ax county despised the name, I personally would have preferred that to Vernon, but hey, thats just meCoal town guy (talk) 15:13, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer Vernon. You must have a stronger warrior in you! lol. Royalbroil 12:27, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One day, we must have a beer together. I can tell you about a place named Take In, yes, Take In. Oddly enough, Battle Ax, may NOT refer to a battle....there are several debated origins. Not bad for a non Wisconsonite who loves coal towns.....I must sayCoal town guy (talk) 15:43, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi-there is information about Bad Axe County, Wisconsin in the Wisconsin Historical Society website: Bad Axe County, Wisconsin The State of Wisconsin went through several territorial changes: Northwest Territories, Indiana Territory, Illinois Territory, Michigan Territory, and then Wisconsin Territory before Wisconsin was admitted to the Union in 1848. Any of the territorial legislatures could make changes to the counties. This was the case with Michigan Territory before Wisconsin Territory was established. I think the Michigan Territorial Legislature created what is Brown County, Wisconsin. Thanks-RFD (talk) 21:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And the Michigan Territorial Legislature also created what is now Crawford County, Wisconsin-thanks again-RFD (talk) 21:44, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

VERY COOL and many thanks for the info. We will need more but we are getting closer. Can you find data on uncliamed territories???Coal town guy (talk) 02:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
