The Law and Government section of this article needs to be updated to reflect the February, 2015 death of State Auditor Tom Schweich, and subsequent appointment of Nicole Galloway as his successor. I attempted to update the article myself, but ran into technical difficulties. Any assistance from my fellow Wikipedians in resolving this issue would be most appreciated. -- TommyBoy ( talk) 00:43, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Currently the mule is listed as Missouri's state mammal, this however is somewhat very wrong to the best of my knowledge and I have primary sources to back! As per RSMo 10.110, "Official animal. — The Missouri Mule, known for its strength, hardiness, intelligence and even temper, is selected for and shall be known as the official animal of the state of Missouri." [1] Note 'animal,' not 'mammal.' This doesn't seem to be some outdated statute either, the Secretary of State's website affirms this claim. [2] I'd like to know if there is a Wikipedia standard that requires the mule to called "state mammal" or if there is some newer piece of a statute nobody knows about. Seems like a simple minor change but just want to make sure; sig: Aramantha 16:43, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

The caption of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways Quarter falsely calls it the Missouri State Quarter. The quarter pictured is a 2017 quarter part of the America the beautiful series.

I'm excited to know that the US Census Bureau is about to release its 2020 US Population Centroid location.
I believe that this data release will be notable because it will show an historic slowdown in centroid movement, probably the slowest since the 1910-1920 period as an aging population, ongoing economic difficulties, and the impact of the pandemic work to reduce both the means and reason for Americans to move.
Using a method validated in predicting the location of the 2010 US population center, my estimation for the location of the 2020 centroid is: 37.410844 N; 92.364605 W.
This position is 12.83 miles/20.65 kilometers southwest of the 2010 centroid.
This spot is located in Wright County, MO, about 10 miles southwest of Plato, MO and 13.63 miles northeast of Hartville, MO. It remains closer to Plato than Hartville, but I’m thinking that the Bureau may opt to name Hartville the center given its symbolic name. We’ll see soon.
Judging from past performance, this estimate should be within a mile or two of the official position (that’s the best I can do because I’m working with state-level data). I’ll inform exactly how far off once the Census calculation is released.
Best,

>In the language of the Miami-Illinois's close neighbors, the Ojibwe, it could mean "You Ought to Go Downriver & Visit Those People."
The citation given here is Nichols and Nyholm's "A Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe." I have this book, and I could not find this etymology attested in it (in fact, there is no entry for "Missouri," or for the romanizations suggested at the beginning of this section). If nobody can find a more precise citation for this fact, then I suggest that it should probably be removed. Michael.A.R.Lee ( talk) 23:24, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Missouri&type=revision&diff=1112872519&oldid=1111507894
My reasoning for why I believe the "Show Me State" is more correct than "the Show Me State." Why I reverted edit 1112872519 on Missouri.
The first mention of the general phrase appears written in multiple ways in the only cited source (a video) for the first mention in the article: "THE SHOW-ME STATE" (with 'the' and additionally hyphenated) on welcome sign, "SHOW ME STATE" (no 'the' at all) on 2008-2018 license plate, and "the 'Show Me' State" on a book cover. There is inconsistent styling as shown in the medley of the cited video, but certainly as from Vehicle registration plates of Missouri, which is mentioned in the second place it was edited it in the Missouri article, the styling of "the Show Me State" is wrong as 'the' is never included in the design of a Missouri license plate. Hyphenation of "Show-Me" is on the plates longer than the unhyphenated styling, as well as appearing on the welcome sign shown in the cited video. I'm tempted to say that it should be hyphenated in the article, but ultimately it is a nickname and with that in mind however most people spell it would probably be most right, which I think would be without hyphenation. Back to the matter of "the" inclusion, that makes everything I cited above perhaps not relevant. But in keeping with the styling of the two other mentioned nicknames ("Mother of the West" and "Cave State") I think it best to leave out "the" and I will revert or clean after any edits attempting to add it into the quotation marks.

Howdy,
I have been doing to the rounds on Missouri related wiki's to correct a pretty glaring issue with how the Camp Jackson Affair is discussed. Namely, it leaves out the fact that 20 days prior to the Affair pro-secession state militia raided the Liberty Arsenal, and that Govenor Claiborne Jackson had planned to do the same to the St. Louis Arsenal with Confederate support.
Lyon didn't just attack the Camp because it made him nervous, but because that camp had received Confederate cannon specifically to seize the Arsenal. Further more, it presents the most anti-Lyon/anti-Union version of events as fact regarding the riot and subsiqent fighting in St. Louis, using the very loaded name "St. Louis Massacre".
I would recomend editing in this information to make it more reflective in the event and bring it in line with most other wiki pages that covet the events. Elizabeth Gurely Flyn ( talk) 18:51, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
As of 2022-10-27 this article includes a table on Ethnic composition as of the 2020 census with columns "Alone" and "Total". The first totals to 90.2%; the second to 105.2%.
I don't understand this table, and I couldn't find support for it in the link cited. Moreover, it seems redundant with the following table of "Missouri racial breakdown of population". I am therefore deleting this table of "Ethnic composition as of the 2020 census". If you think it belongs, please restore it with a credible citation and clear, concise and compelling accompanying text.
