AusTheDino: I fixed a spelling error between "said" and "was" because the world "is" is supposed to be "it".

 === Geography ===
-Springfield's geography includes big Mountains maybe part of Rocky Mountains and a lot of hills, [[Springfield Gorge|gorges]], giant redwood trees, a desert, a forest, lakes, rivers and a volcano. It is located on the coast of a large body of water, possibly an ocean. It has also been stated that "West Springfield" is 3 times the size of Texas, and looks exactly like Texas in shape (although, in theory, this could be referring to a nearby town of Texas, such as the non-fictional Texas, New Jersey or Texas, Wisconsin).
+Springfield's geography includes big Mountains maybe part of Rocky Mountains and a lot of hills, [[Springfield Gorge|gorges]], giant redwood trees, a desert, a forest, lakes, rivers and a volcano. It is located on the coast of a large body of water, but whether Springfield is an inland city or a costal city and if Springfield were to be costal city whether the ocean is the Atlantic or [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]] continues to be another inconsistency. It has also been stated that "West Springfield" is 3 times the size of Texas, and looks exactly like Texas in shape (although, in theory, this could be referring to a nearby town of Texas, such as the non-fictional Texas, New Jersey or Texas, Wisconsin).
 Major geographic features include [[Springfield Gorge]], [[Springfield National Forest]], [[Mt. Springfield]], [[Springfield Harbor]], the [[Alkali Flats|Springfield Badlands]], [[The Murderhorn]], [[Springfield Glacier]], [[Widow's Peak]], and [[Mount Carlmore|Mt. Carlmore]].

-Springfield's nearest neighboring town is Shelbyville.

Manhattan wanted to found a city where men were free to marry their cousins, but Springfield refused to allow it, so Shelbyville was founded as a rival town.<ref>"[[Lemon of Troy]]"</ref> The story of the dispute between Jebediah Springfield and Shelbyville Manhattan contains faint references to the historical stories of the deal between Asa Lovejoy and William Overton to file a land claim, and the dispute between Lovejoy and Francis W.

 Springfield has been called America's crud basket. It's an ever growing city, despite all the disasters that happen in the town.
