So I discovered that the page preview of this article was shown 41.7°N 71.5°W instead of its casual preview. I don't know how to fix this, so i'm letting y'all know about this issue. Spookycheems ( talk) 03:46, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
1. In the legend at top, you tell me how 1,055 sq. mi. land area plus 169 sq. mi. water adds up to 1,545 sq. mi. total.
2. In the text you state a third figure, 1,214 sq. mi. What does that mean?
3. 1,055 plus 169 equals 1,224, not 1,214. Is that what you mean?
Fix this mess.

In edit of 4 September 2023, the editor removed {{ sources exist}} offering only the explanation that numerous sources obviously exist, which hardly seems to explain why the editor would have removed this. To be clear, I would just like to establish that removal of the template was inappropriate, Fabrickator ( talk) 19:06, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
I presume...Yeah...you do. GMG talk 23:48, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
Just for the record, I gave the wrong link, it should have been revision of 11:48, 4 September 2023. User:DMacks has graciously provided a source which I have put into standard format. The improvement of the article can at least be partially attributed to User:Sativa Inflorescence, who inserted the {{ sources exist}} markup, notwithstanding the differing interpretations of the intent of this template.

I don't found any areas in this article. 2001:448A:11A3:1039:FDF7:E9C:8899:6659 ( talk) 06:05, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
The map in the infobox "zooms" in on the state, but details remain pitifully small. Scrolling down, there really isn't any useful map giving overview of the state.
Compare the map in the Aquidneck Island article. Immediately much more useful scale, though perhaps lacking even the bare amount of details (since its only purpose is to compare the island to the state).

I found this in the population growth chart:
1970 | 946,725 | 10.1% | |
---|---|---|---|
1980 | 947,154 | 0.0% |
This can't be right. There is a definite population growth of about 400 in the 10-year difference. It's a very small change in this context, but can't be 0.0% is impossible. I'm pretty new to Wikipedia, so I don't know how to edit tables. Can somebody fix this? Thanks. TheFluffyProto ( talk) 23:02, 7 February 2024 (UTC)TheFluffyProto
