Talk:Fargo–Moorhead metropolitan area

Untitled

How is Fargo the largest MSA between Minneapolis and Seattle when Spokane, WA and Boise, ID MSAs are more than twice the size of Fargo's? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.203.175.175 (talk) 13:35, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Combined Statistical Area?

• "The Census Bureau also tracks a Fargo-Wahpeton Combined Statistical Area, consisting of Cass and Clay counties, as well as Richland County, North Dakota and Wilkin County, Minnesota"

Is this true? I'm unfamiliar with this combined statistical area. I have never heard any mention of such a distinction. --MatthewUND 06:29, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

Deletion of material

I deleted a lot of crappily written stuff. If anyone cares to restore it, go ahead and make an embarrassment of yourself. I deleted without mercy or shame the paragraph beginning with the sentence, "Fargo-Moorhead is the largest metropolitan area in North Dakota, and is a fast-growing region." Besides being a sentence that would immediatlely mark an eighth-grader's book report as being the work of a part-tard copying phrases out of the World Book Encyclopedia, it's simply untrue, since Moorhead was in Minnesota the last time I checked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.140.205.18 (talk • contribs)

Hello there. I see that you are new to Wikipedia and that you made some major changes to this article. You deleted a lot of information that various users have included over time. It would have been better to FIRST post a message on the talk page asking others what they thought about some of that material before you just went ahead and deleted half of the article. Also, it is VERY inappropriate to comment that the work of others is "crappily written stuff." Please think next time before you simply delete major portions of articles. And rude language and behavior has no place here. --MatthewUND^(talk) 03:07, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Maybe matt is the tard that wrote it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.231.127.174 (talk • contribs)

Orphaned references in Fargo–Moorhead

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Fargo–Moorhead's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "QF":

• From Cass County, North Dakota: "U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts: Cass County, North Dakota". www.census.gov. United States Census Bureau. Retrieved March 24, 2022.
• From Clay County, Minnesota: "U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts: Clay County, Minnesota". www.census.gov. United States Census Bureau. Retrieved March 30, 2022.
• From Wilkin County, Minnesota: "U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts: Wilkin County, Minnesota". www.census.gov. United States Census Bureau. Retrieved April 2, 2022.
• From Richland County, North Dakota: "U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts: Richland County, North Dakota". www.census.gov. United States Census Bureau. Retrieved March 25, 2022.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 01:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
