Abraham Lincoln's district

[edit]

Congressional district shapes have changed quite a bit since the 1840s, and it's misleading to say that the territory Abraham Lincoln represented now lies in Illinois's 18th district. The Springfield area is now split between the 13th and 18th districts; Lincoln's home in 433 S 8th St is in fact located in the 13th. Source: https://voteview.com/district

I'd suggest changing the sentence that says "Abraham Lincoln represented the 7th district before being elected president, although the area he represented now lies within Illinois's 18th congressional district" to say "...although his home now lies within Illinois's 13th congressional district."

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 Illinois's 7th congressional district'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.

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 18:03, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
