Assembly to Legislature

edit

I just changed the word from assembly to legislature. I'm from Maine, and we never ever refer to our House and Senate as the state assembly; ever! If anyone has any major problem with that, you're welcome to change it back. (and feel free to remove this post after it seems unneeded or if you decide to change it back).

Maine Senate?

edit

The Maine Senate has only 35 members and this article refers to this county having 6 Democrats and 5 Republicans representing them. They'd be lucky if they have two Senators. Representatives, perhaps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.78.122.114 (talk) 01:17, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Continental/Contiguous

edit

Alaska is part of the continent of North America. Therefore nothing in Maine is the northernmost anything in the continental US. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.237.34.112 (talk) 04:46, 25 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Origin of name?

edit

It might be worthwhile to provide a brief sentence or two as to the origin of the county's namesake. Unfortunately I don't have this info or else I'd add it myself. Zach99998 (talk) 23:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

whoops disregard that. I just now saw the "named for" info on the side box. Pretend I was never here. Zach99998 (talk) 23:24, 26 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

What the heyho is an unincorporated community within a town???

edit

In the article under the section header, Communities is this sub-heading: Unincorporated communities within towns.

That is an oxymoron if ever there was.

If one follows the Wikipedia hot link under unincorporated on any page that the listings takes one to, from this very article, one finds this definition: An unincorporated area is a region that is not governed by a local municipal corporation.

So how can any part of an incorporated municipality, such as a town, be an unincorporated community?

Sounds to me like somebody wants to list neighborhoods, which would be an unending and likely non-verifiable list. For instance, is Munjoy Hill in Portland an unincorporated community within the town(city)?

To the best of my knowledge, the state of Maine only recognizes Cities, Towns, and Plantations as municipalities, and only two Villages (Oquossoc in Rangeley town, and Springvale in Sanford) beyond the unincorporated and unorganized townships all of which have defined borders and specific names, even if some names are letter/numeral combinations.

If one wants to make a list of neighborhoods, or commonly-known-as residential areas, then a better definition should be thought up. As it is, there can't be an unincorporated community within an incorporated town/city. JackME (talk) 23:42, 16 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
