Link problem

Does anybody else think it is odd that the "State Fair" hyperlink points to the "State Fair" movies and not the "State fair" page about state fairs in general? I'm not sure how to resolve this.

It can be resolved by making it a piped link to "State fair" -- which I went ahead and did. Kind of funky that "State Fair" and "State fair" are two very different articles... --NapoliRoma 19:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon my ignorance....

...but isn't the fair called the Big E, but the grounds are called the Eastern States Exposition? There are many events that aren't the state fair held there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vulture19 (talk • contribs) 06:44, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

=== No, the fair is nicknamed The Big E, and everyone calls it that, but as the article states, its original name was Eastern States Exposition, which accurately describes what it is meant to be. Other events may be held there, but one would say those events take place at the Eastern States Exposition grounds. Yeah, I know 2 1/2 years have gone by.99.98.221.223 (talk) 01:33, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"The Big E"

There is absolutely no good reason why a search for the phrase "The Big E" should lead directly to this page. A majority of people who know the phrase "The Big E" will associate it with USS Enterprise (Either CV-6 or CVN-65), and not some trade fair in one part of the US, given the historical importance of both vessels, and the great number of people who served on them, especially the latter.

Probably because the esoteric nicknames you provide are so poorly known and predated by the Big E this article covers. USS Enterprise should link to a star trek page. Is that what you're talking about?2601:182:4300:14A0:BD7A:135:CE5E:1C5B (talk) 02:38, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of advertisement designation

I don't know what the person who added that advertisement designation is reading, but listing important and unique characteristics of a large state fair seems like what ought to be in this page. It appears more as a personal attack at the content rather than an idea for substantive improvement. 2601:182:4300:14A0:BD7A:135:CE5E:1C5B (talk) 02:40, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
