redundancy

Norwood, Ohio, surrounded by Cincinnati, Ohio

In every case listed, the inner and outer cities are of the same State. (A counterexample would be surprising.) So why explicitly name the State twice?

Which is preferable?

Norwood, Ohio, surrounded by Cincinnati

Norwood, surrounded by Cincinnati, Ohio

I favor the latter, as a natural progression from smallest to largest. —Tamfang (talk) 22:07, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cities with water boundaries?

Should cities that have all land boundaries surrounded by another city, but have access to a body of water as well count? Example Beaux Arts Village is surrounded on 3 sides by Bellevue, but has access to a lake. BhamBoi (talk) 01:01, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO I think that counts, but it should always be noted explicitly if that is the case. Almccon (talk) 02:58, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
