Yes, "Lincoln's Boyhood Home" is on the Welcome to Indiana signs. However, that doesn't make it the state's nickname. If you look at the State Emblem page on the state's website, it lists "The Hoosier State" as the state nickname and "The Crossroads of America" as the state motto. "Lincoln's Boyhood Home" is akin to Michigan putting Pure Michigan on their welcome signs - a reminder of what tourists can find in the state. Make sense? ~ ONUnicorn( Talk| Contribs) problem solving 16:25, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
STATE Website version
Well, according to The Indiana State Website State of Indiana, State Facts the State Motto is The Crossroads of America. Adopted 1937. The State Nickname is stated as; The nickname for someone of Indiana birth or long residency is "Hoosier", a word whose origin has never been determined. Some have said it stemmed from the pioneer custom of greeting night callers with, "Who's yere?" Others claimed it came from "hoosier men", referring to laborers for an early- day Indiana contractor named Sam Hoosier. Still others traced the word to the term "husher", meaning a river boat worker strong enough to "hush" any challenger, or to "hoozer", a dialect word meaning hill-dweller. The state identifies only one motto and one nickname, so for Wiki standards, this is what the article should say. The entry sign is not an official status, it's a highway department/advertisers motto, not an identified nickname. Of course, a reference to the entry signs having the Entry slogan/ad, that works also, but not a reference to the the nickname or motto. So, the question is whether there is some standard for establishing what is the deciding reference. Can I make up a state nickname based on the people I talk with or the slogans in the Tourist brochures? or is there some 'official' source to be used. Since I don't want a sociological study or discussion, I default to the state designation. Chris Light ( talk) 20:58, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Information to be added or removed: I propose adding the below text in quotes to the education section of the page:
"Indiana ranked 22nd in the nation for educational performance, according to Education Week’s Quality Counts 2018 report. It earned an overall score of 75.7 out of 100 points and a grade of C. By comparison, the nation received a score of 75.2 or a C.
Indiana posted a C-plus in the Chance-for-Success category, ranking 29th on factors that contribute to a person’s success both within and outside the K-12 education system. Indiana received a mark of C-minus and finished 31st for School Finance. It ranked eighth with a grade of C on the K-12 Achievement Index."
Explanation of issue: I believe this text would enhance the page, adding information on the quality of the state's K-12 education which is not currently available on the page. I'm asking your consideration because I work for Education Week. I apologize if I've misformatted this or left out information you need to make a decision - I'm rather new at this.

Sorry if I'm being dense here, John from Idegon, but I don't see a separate Education in Indiana page.
