Is it me or is Hawaii strangely bigger than california. {{unsigned|172.70.100.40}}<br />
:I think he's only counting the land area. The area between the islands may be creating an illusion that Hawaii is bigger. It's hard to tell just by looking, does anyone have the tech to measure this? P.S. remember to sign... [[User:Barmar|Barmar]] ([[User talk:Barmar|talk]]) 14:11, 1 May 2024 (UTC)<br />

I believe it is some sort of ranking rather than swapping sizes as the chart suggests, as South Carolina appears to be smaller than normal (?) [[User:Primmy|Primmy]] ([[User talk:Primmy|talk]]) 14:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)<br />

I believe the first paragraph is incorrect. I did a full comparison, and Texas shrank the most (dropping 41 places from size ranking to alphabetical ranking), while Connecticut as well as Delaware grew the most (each rising 41 places between the lists).
