An IP editor is repeatedly changing the correct name of The Ohio State University to just "Ohio State University." His first objection here was that the name of the Wikipedia article did not contain "the." That's beside the point; it's the name of the institution, not the article, that matters. But to humor him, I made it a piped link so it went straight to the article without the redirect, while still using the correct university name. He reverted that, too, with no explanation. The indefinite article "The" is part of the university's official name, and should remain. See Ohio State University#History and its references. I personally think that the "The" is pretty lame, but it is correct, and should be retained. (postscript: he again reverted, now saying that the name of the article, not the institution, is what matters, which is patently absurd.) After I fix this again, I'll be at my 3rr limit, so I'd appreciate some discussion here. If the consensus here is that the right thing to do is to use the wrong name, I'll shut up and go away.

The largest metro region of any Ohio city is now Greater Cincinnati, which is a 15 county region which includes counties in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Please see http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008803270372 for more information.Lanskeith17 (talk) 16:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
I concur that Cleveland is still the largest metro in Ohio. Just make the note that Cincinnati has a larger MSA according to the census bureau, but that it also includes parts of Kentucky and Indiana. It's just like the airports. CLE is the largest airport in Ohio, because even though CVG sees more traffic, it is located in Kentucky.--Analogue Kid (talk) 20:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Cincinnati takes up 3 states. People in the Cincinnati area travel to Kentucky and Indiana without any thought. Cincinnati deals with traffic from all three states. The area has more people and that is a fact. Cleveland just is upset they aren't the biggest anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.189.45.164 (talk) 00:20, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

In reading the article, I notices a lot of mentions of colleges - so many in fact that I got the feeling there have been a lot of additions trying to plug the authors favorite school. For example, I deleted information that pertained to U of Dayton just existing and some schools being highly ranked - just seemed out of placed, no real citation, and just a nice plug. I also think this college issue could lead to a slippery slope. So maybe Dayton sounds like a state school. Well the same rationale could be used for U of Findlay, University of Northwestern Ohio, or University of Rio Grande. I just think it should be a brief list (I see no harm in listing the state schools, especially due to their size) and let everything else be deferred to the Ohio college list. Not only that, but in general I think there should be a lack of mention of particular schools. For example, why does Canton list Malone College and not Walsh? I think many of the college reference should be removed. RonSigPi (talk) 04:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Ohio is home to some of the nation's highest-ranking public libraries. The 2008 study by Thomas J. Hennen Jr. ranked Ohio as number one in a state-by-state comparison. For 2008, 31 of Ohio's library systems were all ranked in the top ten for American cities of their population category:

I ran an auto-peer review (messy style) and came up with these suggestions: Hope they're helpful!
The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
- Per Wikipedia:What is a featured article?, Images should have concise captions.
- Avoid including galleries in articles, as per Wikipedia:Galleries. Common solutions to this problem include moving the gallery to a separate page.
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -
between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 312 miles , use 312 miles , which when you are editing the page, should look like: 312 miles .- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.
- Per WP:WIAFA, this article's table of contents (ToC) may be too long- consider shrinking it down by merging short sections or using a proper system of daughter pages as per Wikipedia:Summary style.
- There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view. For example,
- is considered
- might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations (if they already do, or are not weasel terms, please
strikethis comment).- Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.

Ohio is known as the "Modern Mother of Presidents", having sent eight of its native sons to the White House. Seven of them were Republicans, and the other was a member of the Whig Party.
This is incorrect, as William Henry Harrison (the Whig Party member mentioned) was born in Virginia, not Ohio (and was therefore not a "native son" of Ohio). All of the remaining seven, and thus all U.S. Presidents born in Ohio, were members of the Republican Party.Mal7798 (talk) 13:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

{{editsemiprotected}} Kylebgorman (talk) 22:48, 21 June 2010 (UTC) the pronunciation should be o.'hai.o. the initial bar-o in the current article is not a sound of english, nor is it pronounced that way.
If it's a property of reduced /o/, then why is the final vowel in "Ohio" transcribed as /oʊ/, since these are the same vowel, in similar reduced contexts? The guide's claim (which I believe to be simply false, and for which no evidence is given) is simply not being applied uniformly. And note that the footnote says that this sound is "sually transcribed as /ə(ʊ)/ (or similar ways of showing variation between /əʊ/ and /ə/)". The Oxford English Dictionary gives the US pronunciation of this word as /oʊ.'hai.oʊ/. The first vowel is clearly diphthongal with a central nucleus and a back glide. 74.215.177.242 (talk) 15:07, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Now that the 2010 census results are released, the population/demographics need to be updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Npalumbo58 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
The National Politics sections needs to be updated to reflect changes after the 2010 elections. Republicans now control 13 of Ohio's 18 U.S. House seats in the 112th Congress, a gain of 5 seats from the last election. Additionally, Rob Portman has replaced George Voinovich as Senator.
Additionally, the discussion about Ohio's voter demographics and party registration is somewhat misleading. Voters in Ohio to not register as members of a political party. Rather, they are able to "affiliate" themselves with a particular party by requesting a ballot for that party's primary. http://www.sos.state.oh.us/SOS/elections/voterInformation/regToVote.aspx. As a result, political party affiliation in Ohio tends to fluctuate significantly depending on whether one party has a highly contested primary, and as a result these numbers often do not provide an accurate representation of the partisan breakdown of Ohio voters.
In any event, the numbers in this section should be changed to reflect affiliation as of 2010. At the most recent primary election, held on May 4, 2010, 868,000 voters affiliated as Republicans by requesting Republican ballots, and 759,765 voters affiliated as Democrats by requesting Democratic ballots. http://www.sos.state.oh.us/sos/upload/elections/2010/pri/turnout.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.103.11.45 (talk) 04:31, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

That Cleveland is the largest metropolitan area in Ohio is a misleading technicality that relies on the fact that areas of the Cincinnati MSA spill into bordering states, thereby negating the entire Cincinnati MSA from contention. By this standard, Buffalo would be the largest metropolitan area in the state of New York because portions of the New York City MSA extend into New Jersey and Connecticut.
Cincinnati is both the largest metropolitan area based in the state of Ohio as well as the largest metropolitan area occurring in the state of Ohio. I believe that the Cincinnati MSA should replace the Cleveland MSA as the largest metropolitan area in Ohio. If for any reason this is not allowed, Cincinnati should at minimum be listed alongside Cleveland as the largest metropolitan area in Ohio, with the current footnote remaining in citation beside Cleveland.

I concur with the fact that Cleveland has the largest MSA that is entirely within state boundaries, but considering the fact that the Cincinnati MSA is the largest metropolitan area based in Ohio as well as the largest MSA occurring within Ohio, I do not believe that Cleveland alone should be listed as the largest MSA in the state. In fact, the discussion from several years ago (linked to above) is overwhelmingly in favor of acknowledging this fact, so I propose that Cincinnati should at least be listed alongside Cleveland as Ohio's co-largest MSA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.125.13 (talk) 03:40, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
I appreciate your willingness to include Cincinnati in the infobox. This may just be semantics, but in my opinion an MSA 'occurs' within any state from which its' metropolitan area incorporates counties. Considering the Cincinnati MSA is based in Ohio, I don't know what could preclude the Cincinnati MSA from occurring in Ohio.
Quoting your own statistics, 75% of the Cincinnati MSA population is in Ohio, so we both consider the Cincinnati metropolitan area to be of occurance in Ohio counties.

The original pronunciation of Ohio was "Oh-hee-yo" eventually altered by the French, as they had difficulties with the native dialect.

Instead of referring to peoples who lived in post-Biblical times on the North American continent as "prehistoric," the more appropriate usage is "pre-contact." The surviving indigenous peoples most certainly have had an oral history for well beyond that long, and in many cases they have had forms of writing for at least as far back in time as Fort Ancient existed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.105.17.10 (talk) 12:35, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

But on February 18, 1791, both houses of Congress passed an act stating that Vermont was to be admitted on March 4, 1791, specifying that date. In January and February 1791 the two houses passed an act saying Kentucky was to be admitted on June 1, 1792. Both acts specified a future date of admission.

Material of this sort: "Ohio has 5 of the top 115 colleges in the nation, according to U.S. News and World Report's 2010 rankings, and was ranked No. 8 by the same magazine in 2008 for best high schools." sounds like it was clipped from an Ohio promotional brochure, as does much of the rest of the Economy section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pcp071098 (talk • contribs) 06:20, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

That climate type map is really wrong. There is no humid subtropical climate in the north. Maybe in 2100 there will be but not now. Average highs even along the lake in January barely crack freezing and the mean is well below it. At KBKL the min/max/ave in January is 23.4/35.1/29.3 F. KCLE is 21.7/34.4/28.1 F. KAKR is 19.5/33.9/26.7 F. Source NCDC 1981-2010 Normals Data Tool. I think that map should be removed and replaced with a more accurate one. --174.130.65.185 (talk) 21:43, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

This section was long prior to about 2016, and got longer. If all 7 subsections of History were this long, we'd have the entire main article History of Ohio stuffed into this one. The History section should be brief, topical and written as an overview, keeping details except a few critical places, persons, and dates, out of it. The Native Americans subsection needs to shrink to 1/2 or 1/3 of its size here, and details moved to History of Ohio. Sbalfour (talk) 21:58, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
I've cleaned it up some by deleting awkward parenthetical text and using concise diction to replace rambling text. There's a lot of tags in that section, and sourcing is anemic. If I deleted everything tagged, the section would be gutted. And it needs to be kept concise, even reduced - it's still the biggest sub-section in History, and this isn't even a history article! Additions should be referred to the History of Ohio#Prehistoric peoples section, not here. Sbalfour (talk) 00:31, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

With God, all things are possible is the motto of the U.S. state of Ohio. Quoted from the Gospel of Matthew, verse 19:26, it is the only state motto taken directly from the Bible (Greek: παρὰ δὲ θεῷ πάντα δυνατά, para de Theō panta dynata). It is defined in section 5.06 of the Ohio Revised Code and sometimes appears beneath the Seal of Ohio.

This seems to come up every few years and likely will as long as the three largest metros are so close in population. One of the issues is that the Cincinnati MSA, while currently the largest MSA out of the three, is not fully in Ohio, so when the sentence says the Cincinnati MSA is the largest metro area in Ohio, it's not accurate since 1.6 million people live in the Ohio part of the Cincinnati MSA, below the 2.0 million for Cleveland and 2.1 million for Columbus. Since this is an article about the state, then yes, that technicality matters. On top of that, if Combined Statistical Area is used instead, it changes the order to Cleveland (3.5 million), Columbus (2.5 million), Cincinnati (2.2 million, 1.7 million in Ohio). I reworded the intro to just include the largest three for now, not only for the sake of having to explain it, but all three are close to the same size anyway. --JonRidinger (talk) 21:07, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

This article currently says:
Congress had never passed a formal resolution admitting Ohio as the 17th state, a custom not introduced until Louisiana's admission as the 18th state.
It is absolutely false that Congress did not act to admit new states to the Union before that. Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution of the United States, written in 1787, provides that that is how new states are admitted, and in 1791 Congress passed acts admitting Vermont and Kentucky to the Union. (The one for Kentucky was passed by the Senate in January and by the House of Representatives in February, and provided for admission in June 1792. The one for Vermont was passed by both houses on February 18, 1791 and provided that Vermont would be admitted exactly two weeks later.) Maybe the part of the sentence before the comma is true, but the part about "not introduced until" is false. Michael Hardy (talk) 00:56, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

The climate of Ohio is in the article stated to be predominantly humid continental (Dfa/Dfb in Köppen), with the subtropical (Cfa) climate present only in the Bluegrass region, i.e. the extreme southwest of the state. However, the map used as a visual reference shows half of Ohio to be within the Cfa climate region, with only the Till Plains and Lake Plains regions in the northwest under a Dfa climate, and a Dfb climate near the Pennsylvania border. Which is correct? I’m not an expert on the climate of Ohio or climate in general, I’m just confused about the discrepancy. Patatae et mellaseus (talk) 07:02, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

According to the Williams Institute of UCLA, as of 2017, 4.3% of Ohio's population identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Ohio ranks 20th as the state with the highest LGBT population.
In 2017, 70% of the LGBT, Ohio population identified as white, 13% identified as Black, and 6% identified as Latinx, which is comparable to the racial proportions of the state as a whole. 70% of this population was not raising children. When only looking at the female LGBT population, 57% were not raising children.
32% of Ohio's fag population was of the ages of 18-24, 20% was 35-39, and 8% was 65 and older. Female identifying individuals made up 58% of the population.
Socioeconomic Indicators
In 2017, LGBT individuals faced more socio economic hardship than their non-LGBT counterparts. 11% of LBGT individuals indicated they were unemployed, compared to the 5% of non-LGBT individuals. 10% of LGBT individuals were uninsured, 33% were food insecure, and 33% had an income of less than $24k a year. These percentages are all higher when only looking at woman-identifying LGBT individuals. Comparatively, 7% of non-LGBT identifying individuals were uninsured, 16% were food insecure, and 21% had an income of less than $24k a year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bdevine99 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
