Area of Delaware?
The recent edit is misleading, because it does not distinguish between land area and water+land. The U.S.Census publishes several tables which present this information clearly, e.g., State Area Measurements and Internal Point Coordinates. TEDickey (talk) 20:30, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
Buff
Can someone link the color buff in state colors to the wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buff_(colour) 73.247.62.171 (talk) 14:49, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- No problem. Done. GreenLoeb (talk) 15:37, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
misused term
The term "concentrated" says in effect that African-Americans are found in Wilmington in a higher percentage than anywhere else in Delaware. The provided source has no relevant information to support this statement (and is by the way redundant for the subsequent comment given the other sources in the topic).

Southeastern United States
If you are gonna keep on adding Delaware as a state in the Southeastern United States, then you should be doing the same action to Maryland's page too. The truth is, majority of Americans would probably not associate Maryland and Delaware as a Southern state, rather solely a Mid-Atlantic state given its proximity to other fellow Mid-atlantic cities like NYC, DC, Baltimore and Philadelphia. As long as those two states are within the territories of even the Northeast Megalopolis, both states are 100% not Southeastern. Maybe you should do an eye check, because if the Mason-Dixon Line defines the South's separation from the North, then Delaware is a northern state and should not even be close to having any affinity with the South(east). 2404:E801:2003:2EB1:38D0:D9AB:9A78:3B09 (talk) 13:30, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
- The US Census lists Delaware as part of the Southern region. Most of Delaware is south of the Mason-Dixon line that forms most of the southern border of Pennsylvania. Delaware was once a slave-holding state. Stop with the WP:WHATABOUTX arguments. If either article needs to be fixed, it would then be the Maryland article.
- You also need to learn how to use the edit summary. Peaceray (talk) 15:45, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
The name de La Warr was derived from Sussex (?)
Can anyone explain what "The name de La Warr was derived from Sussex" is intended to mean? It certainly didn't derive from the name Sussex. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 20:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
