:Am I alone in thinking all these would be better off at [[Name State]] rather than [[Name State, Nigeria]]? Is there a reason for the longer scheme? If not, the shorter one'd save us an awful lot of typing when we get round to doing the Nigeria articles... ''–[[User:Hajor|Hajor]] 22:23, 21 Jan 2004 (UTC)''

Hi, Hajor.  Yes, there is a reason.   I did that to remove ambiguity - there are several cities throughout the world named LAGOS, for example, and RIVERS brought up an article about, um, rivers.  Moreover, some Nigerian cities have the same name as states, and for all I know there could be a multitude of similarly named places thoughtout Africa.  I changed a few of them, then thought it best to rename all of them, for consistency. ([[User:Davidcannon|David Cannon]])

:Yeah... consistent it certainly is, beautifully so. (In contrast, the mess of city & state name formats over at [[States of Mexico]] would make your blood run cold.) But what I meant to say was that (for example) [[Rivers State]] would be just as useful for disambiguation as [[Rivers State, Nigeria ]] – ie, not necessary to specify "Nigeria" each time. Lagos could be disambig'd by [[Lagos State]] vs. [[Lagos|Lagos (Nigeria)]]. Etc. Just a thought. Cheers, ''–[[User:Hajor|Hajor]] 03:07, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)''

Thanks for the thought, Hajor.  I think your suggestion is a good one, and when I get time, I might go over the list and rCultivated blackcurrant fruit

This edited image placedo it.  And thanks for pointing out the [[States of Mexico]] mess.  I'll try to make time to straighten it out (which will mean correcting a lot of linked pages, also).  See ya later-) ([[User:Davidcannon|David Cannon]], 22 January 2004, 9.35am GMT)

:Hi, David. If you ''do'' decide to tackle [[States of Mexico|Mexico]], check out the talk page there so you can see the guidelines I was trying to follow when I took a crack at it just last month (and there was only so much I could do before coming up against undeletable pages where I wanted to move other articles to, etc.). Think it through and, if you come up with an approach you'd like to try, perhaps you would outline it on that talk page before starting? See you around, ''–[[User:Hajor|Hajor]] 15:28, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)''n the public domain 21st January 2004.
