My FAQ

Q1: Why do you remove the "United States" from articles? Isn't it more thorough to mention the country?

A1: It is common convention among English speaking scholars to write geographical areas in the United States as (City, State), and leave out the country. Every English language manual of style agrees that this is the proper way to write it. WP:PLACE covers this very nicely on wikipedia and is meant, despite the title, to be applied to all articles. Some have disagreed, and thats okay, but there is no convention anywhere on wikipedia that says that (City, State, Country) is the best and proper way to present the information. In many cases, the country name is already placed in the info box, making the addition in the body of the article redundant.

Q2: Have there been previous discussions on this topic?

A2: Yes there has. This archived discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style seems to agree that the convention is (City, State).

Q3: Are you the only one who feels this way?

A3: No, of course not. In various discussions, Other users have expressed support for this convention in the past, in one way or another. They are: User:Woogee, User:Wikidemon, User:ShadowRangerRIT(except in the infobox), User:Pmanderson, User:Tony1, User:Jimfbleak, User:Sambc, User:DGG, User:Rodhullandemu

Q4: What Should I do if I still don't like it?

A4: As far as this page goes, nothing. If you leave me a message here, I will only hat close your question and refer you to these FAQs. Leaving me a message here, means that you have not taken the time to read the FAQ. I'm not changing my mind, so any discussion is futile, and redundant. If you revert, and place "United States" back into the article, don't worry, I won't edit war with you over this issue.

Good article assistance

I am currently improving LA Galaxy to good article status, if you could help that would be fine and if it reached featured article that would be excellent! Just go over it, do edits to improve it, and give me your comments. Regards,--Birkenburg (talk) 21:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Nominated it. :)--Birkenburg (talk) 19:48, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Good job, Ill go take a look.--Jojhutton (talk) 20:39, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!--Birkenburg (talk) 12:56, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I could really use some help on directing links from disambiguation pages, the list is at the article's talk page, appreciate it! Regards,--Birkenburg (talk) 19:50, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you, but

Can I relist the discussion on the Philadelphia Convention. If so, how, and if not, who should close it? Sorry for the bother. (By the way, my signature is a joke.) Rainbows and Unicorns! (Tons of Fun!) 20:32, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

No, don't relist. As of now it is still sitting in the WP:RM back log. WP:RM traditionally has a long backlog. It may take a while, but it will happen eventually. It would seem that the oldest RM in the back log is about 3 weeks old.--Jojhutton (talk) 20:39, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to but in, but are we allowed to just move it? I seem to remember something like uncontroversial moves can just be moved, and at this point consensus is pretty clear. But I ask because I haven't edited in a while and my knowledge of wikipolicy is rusty. Corvus coronoides _talk 18:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Technically yes, we can move it, and I would have done it weeks ago, in not for the fact that this particular move requires admin tools, since the target page, Constitutional Convention (United States), has had too many edits on it. Its a bit technical, but there are options. We can WP:PROD the target page, and an admin will delete it so we can use it for a move. Otherwise, we just keep playing the waiting game.--Jojhutton (talk) 19:19, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, JoJ! You're awesome for helping me get this name changed! I appreciate it so much! The Doomsday Machine! (Blastoff!) 02:14, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, when you first brought it up, I began to think about it more and came to the conclusion that you had a good idea, so I went with it and it seems that many others agreed with you. So the thanks goes to you for seeing a way to improve the article.--Jojhutton (talk) 02:46, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Not understanding what "Really" is suppose to mean, but I will link WP:Verifiability for you so you can brush up on some of wikipedia policies. Remember that WP:V is one of wikipedias 3 core content policies and should be strictly applied.--Jojhutton (talk) 21:28, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
