I unserstand the list of panhandles and cities, as showing the largest city in the panhandle... Oklahoma City is not in the panhandle of Oklahoma and should not be included in the list of largest cities.
I fixed the Oklahoma entry. All data was messed up but is now accurate based on the Oklahoma Panhandle article. Nst101
Doesn't Texas have 3 panhandles? Aren't the western and southern extensions of the Texas also panhandles, and not only the northern extension? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.164.11.237 ( talk) 18:38, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Is the word panhandle much used in this sense outside the United States? If not, the article might better move to salient. (Well, presumably salient would be a disambig). jnestorius( talk) 01:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
I placed an "original research" warning on the "Panhandles outside the United States" section because the section's text gave me the impression that someone looked at a map and arbitrarily identified some areas as "panhandles". References identifying these regions as "panhandles" are needed. Dr. Submillimeter 21:55, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
also the ones from ireland are ridiculous ! every county in ireland "could" be called panhandle but none are especially not the two listed on this page, can someone remove them please because if i do they will just reverse it. here is a map of irish counties , judge for yourself.

As long as no research is avaible for the origin I dont see why it should list Texas as the "possible origin for the term". At this point it seems any state could be the possible orgin for the term. Pollox87 21:12, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I grew up in the Mississippi panhandle. According to this erroneous article, the Mississippi panhandle does not exist, nor the Alabama panhandle. But they exist, trust me. 24.75.109.129 ( talk) 01:31, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Virginia and North Carolina also have panhandles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.83.161.197 ( talk) 04:22, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
The title reflects US usage only. The article should be moved to the internationally used "salient". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.12.193.155 ( talk) 10:02, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
I am contemplating adding the Mafraq governorate of Jordan. Feedback? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.86.236.222 ( talk) 22:24, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Can we find any external source to decide how elongated the protrusion has to be, in order to be called a panhandle? Or is it original research here? The Nebraska "panhandle" is almost hilarious: it is quite unelongated, in fact it is wider than it is long. If we call that a panhandle, we might as well include, say, southeast Mississippi, northwest Utah, eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. Stretching the limits we could probably find one or more "panhandles" from every U.S. state (except Colorado and Utah). -- Jmk ( talk) 10:06, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Would the top of Michigan be considered a panhandle? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.176.45 ( talk) 00:23, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Kingston panhandle? As a local, I've never seen it referred to as such. Unless someone can find a source for this, I'm going to remove it as WP:OR. AndyTheGrump ( talk) 18:00, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
can you also remove the Irish ones as no county in Ireland is refered to as a panhandle , especially not the two mentioned, in fact most counties in Ireland "could" be considered panhandles based on shape but are NEVER refered to as such, it seems to be a typically American saying . here is a map of Irish counties , judge for yourselves http://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/image-files/mapofcountiesofireland-184kb.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.41.243.225 ( talk) 14:29, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
One seems to be a copy-paste of the other. jnestorius( talk) 12:43, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
The lead of Coös County, New Hampshire talks about a NH panhandle being the narrower top part of the state. Is this officially a panhandle, and should it be included in this article? Yes, in terms of land area it's pretty small, but relative to the size of the whole state I'd say it counts, almost like the Idaho one. Rcsprinter (gossip) @ 14:18, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
I once thought that was where the trend started. What's the deal here? Dustin (talk) 21:58, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
