, 00:49, April 26, 2008→City/town/county names as article titles?
::: You could include any non-sysops who have reasonable experience here and who might have an opinion on this. This sort of issue, being a consistency issue more than anything, is not something that needs to be decided by sysops exclusively. BrianCo and Arizaphale come to mind. [[User:Philip J.

My two cents/tuppence/deux centimes/dos centavos/zwei pfennigen:
An article on any given city ought to have as its title the city and the state, or city and province, or city and country.
The style for cities and towns in any country big enough to have provinces the size of, say, Colorado (USA) ought to be: City, State, Country. Use the full name (except use USA for the United States). The reason: not everyone is going to know the abbreviations for Canadian provinces or Mexican states (or Australian States, for that matter).
Exceptions: States or provinces having more than two words in their names. Thus, "New York" ought to be spelled out, but not "New South Wales."
I want to encourage city articles on cities in all nations.
Every State or province ought to have one article listing all the cities within it. Then you should break out a city article only when you can fill a standard letter page with content (text and/or images). Cities and towns that rate only a paragraph ought to get a paragraph in the list article.
I grow tired of clicking on Random Page only to see stub after stub after stub. Let's fill them out or rake them all into one article, with header redirects if necessary.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 20:49, 25 April 2008 (EDT)
