Minor wikipedia inconsistency: the link below goes to a page titled "Contiguous" United States, but the URL itself is "Continental" United States. One definition would seem to include Alaska (most of it anyway), whereas the other clearly would not.
The content of the page goes on to describe the definition of "contiguous".
