City, State

[edit]

This article received a great reworking of its first paragraph, but I delinked Massachusetts. It looks very unwikily to me to have cities with piped links immediately followed by their states. If someone follows the Northampton link, they can always read about Massachusetts from there if they want. My rationale is that we are to add links which improve context--clearly the article about the city the school is in is pertinent; the state is not clearly so.

If you'll look at the overwhelming majority of articles in Wikipedia, you'll see that such a pairing is the norm, not the exception. I can't find a specific mention of this in the manual of style, but cities with piped links immediately followed by their states is definitely the standard. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I will agree it is very common, I do not believe it is a standard. I posted this nine months ago and no one responded in any form. I continue to contend that from a logical point of view, it seems to me that linking the state separately adds a link which does not particularly add context. And from a stylistic point of view, I still contend that it looks bulky, and if nothing else, is harder to type than just linking to the city, state article alone.

Not to beat a dead horse, but if this truly were a standard, don't you think someone would have replied to my post to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (links) saying "you moron, everyone knows that you link the city and state separately"? Anyway, I'm not upset about it, but it would be nice to have standards that don't just make articles read better but also make their wikitext easier to edit. Lots of editors link naked years in articles, and that is contrary to MOS. Just because something is common does not a standard make. MKoltnow 18:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
