Line 43: "Bullock was born in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Arlington County, Virginia" is incorrect, Arlington County isn't a suburb of Washington, D.C. and is solely Virginia. It should say "Bullock was born in Arlington County, Virginia across from Washington, D.C." since they want to mention D.C. or it can be "Bullock was born in Arlington County, Virginia.<ref>https://www.arlingtonchamber.org/about-arlington.html#:~:text=Arlington%20County%20is%20an%20urban,cities%20lie%20within%20Arlington's%20boundaries.</ref> <ref>https://www.arlingtonva.us/Government/Topics/Welcome-Kit/History-of-Arlington#:~:text=From%201801%20to%201847%2C%20what,to%20the%20Commonwealth%20of%20Virginia.</ref> [[Special:Contributions/173.53.10.120|173.53.10.120]] ([[User talk:173.53.10.120|talk]]) 22:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC) :{{done}} I don't know why D.C. was mentioned.

:In my opinion there's no reason to qualify Arlington's geographic relation to D.C. at all in that text, but it sure is a suburb of it. Where did you get the idea that a suburb has to be in the same state? At least four Virginia counties, several Virginia cities, and four Maryland counties can be considered suburbs of Washington, just as northeastern New Jersey and southwestern Connecticut are suburbs of New York City. {{talk reflist}} | |||
