No reference given for regional divisions, Berkeley mentioned but does correspond to changes made: http://emp.lbl.gov/sites/all/files/lbnl-188167.pdf divides regions completely differently.

Yes it was based on the 2014 wind tech. market report. But I had made several mistakes. Namely

• West Va and Maryland were in Northeast instead of southwest and
• Interior was labelled Central Plains.

I also had combined Great Plains and Northeast. Since Alaska and Hawaii were not included on the map in the report, I combined them with the West region and labelled it West and Pacific. --74.38.77.101 (talk) 23:43, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-09-09T23:43:00.000Z","author":"74.38.77.101","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-74.38.77.101-2015-09-09T23:43:00.000Z-Divison_by_region","replies":[]}}-->

Does not meet Wikipedia:Verifiability. Changes remain inconsistent with cited reference. As other sources group states differently this arbitrary choice is better left out.Djflem (talk) 06:31, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-09-13T06:31:00.000Z","author":"Djflem","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Djflem-2015-09-13T06:31:00.000Z-Divison_by_region","replies":["c-74.38.77.101-2015-09-13T19:11:00.000Z-Djflem-2015-09-13T06:31:00.000Z"]}}-->

Groupings like this in templates do not have to be 'verifiable'. --74.38.77.101 (talk) 19:11, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-09-13T19:11:00.000Z","author":"74.38.77.101","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-74.38.77.101-2015-09-13T19:11:00.000Z-Djflem-2015-09-13T06:31:00.000Z","replies":["c-Djflem-2015-09-14T12:11:00.000Z-74.38.77.101-2015-09-13T19:11:00.000Z"]}}-->

Groupings should be based on something other than the perception of one editor (who initially cited a reference for verifiability) and in this case needs consensus,, which has not been reached.Djflem (talk) 12:11, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-09-14T12:11:00.000Z","author":"Djflem","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Djflem-2015-09-14T12:11:00.000Z-74.38.77.101-2015-09-13T19:11:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
