Illinois mistake. It is stated in the article that it must be Illinois becuase they have coastline and a major league baseball team in their capital of Chicago. The capital of Illinois is actually Springfield in the middle of IL, and has no major league baseball team.

The only capital cities with major league baseball teams are Phoenix, Boston, Denver, and Atlanta. Well, and Toronto, which is the provincial capital of Ontario, but that's in Canada.

Not California

In the epsidoe recalling the birth of Maggie , Homer is working at a bowling alley. When Marge tells him that she is pregnant, he has to quit that job and return to the nuclear plant. During his last day at the bowling alley, he says good-bye to everyone. He then turns to a sickly looking kid and says something like, "don't worry Jimmy. We'll make it to California some day," meaning they're not in CA at present. ````

The Simpsons Live in Kentucky

The closest city to Shelbyville, KENTUCKY is Simpsonville Kentucky so instead of naming the state and city location. They changed the name of the city and there fore could pretend to be any state.

Under Neavda law

In the episode "Brawl In The Family" Homer receives court sentence in which judge gives verdict based on Nevada law. Thing is he is in court because he married Amber in Las Vegas. So is uncertain to me as an European, did he must travel there to receive sentence. Could someone comment? (Szndm 05:29, 22 February 2009 (UTC))

Well he got married to Amber in Las Vegas, Nevada, so i'm guessing they were basing on that fact.--Sgtcook 20:44, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

A few things

Firstly, in the Kentucky section, it says "A factor that could rule out Kentucky is the fact that Springfield's state borders an ocean, which Kentucky does not. Although, in Simpsons episodes it has never been proved that the Simpsons are staying in their home state, or any other family for that matter." To be honest, I'm confused by this sentence, and also perhaps it should be mentiond that in the simpsons movie it was surrounded by a dome and can not be by the sea (according to that). For the Ohio section, Marge does not say "Oh hiya Maud." She says "Ohayou Maud." Ohayou being a Japanese term for 'good morning.' Finally, while I am aware that there are too many contradictions to have a definitive location for Springfield, this article seems to be reliant on the idea that it is supposed to be a REAL Springfield. Why? Many shows have made up cities, so why does this have to be a real one? Lawndale from Daria and Quahog from Family guy are 2 examples. States shouldn't be ruled out because they don't have a Springfield.

Err, well the although line needs to be removed, as it makes no sense. And i suppose the writer(s) were focused on the idea of it being a real Springfield, but i suppose there isn't going to be one where things are the same is there. Also what has the Ohio bit got to do with anything?--Sgtcook 15:52, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Flag

Who posted the image of the flag and what episode did it come from? I doubt it's valid, but I have to make sure first before I delete it. Ldude893 05:06, March 22, 2010 (UTC) Check the page history for that, but i do know a flag appeared in Bart vs Lis vs the Third Grade, as Bart tampered with Lisa's design.--Sgtcook (My Talk Page) 16:13, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

In-Universe Style

There is a message on the top of the page saying that this artical needs to be put into in-universe style. I see no good way to put it into in-universe style. I don't think that most of this can even be rewriten that way. I understand the need for concistincy to a point, but isn't the informantion in the artical more important? Couldn't we just make an excption to this one? Bshardy 06:24, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Working on this.

Hey, im gonna try do this thing. Firstly, i've removed North Takoma as further on it says that is not agreed to in any actual source other than one interview. Secondly, although i'm using the Simpsons Archive pages on this to help, I need sources for the stuff marked "(unsourced)." If you can help, give me a shout. King cjc 14:21, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Also if we want this article to be in-universe we should move the where is section to a new article and make it out of universe. King cjc 15:14, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re-write

While making this article in-universe (or, parts of it at least), I realised that it needs more than that if it's to become featured. Many of the sentences are poorly structured I feel and could do with a re-write. It also needs to be in the proper tense. If anyone could do that, even if it is one section at a time, that would be great. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 16:11, 23 December 2011 (EST)
