New since last week

  • English Parish pages; where should gazetteer references be placed? "... has introduced the issue of spelling variation of the village name when an explanation was already provided and the discussion page... I feel there should at least be a discussion about the style of presentation...."
  • Naming practices "creating province pages for Spain. I originally named the pages "Spain Province of [name of province]". Someone later went in and changed the title giving the reason of "remove political subdivision from page name." I need some clarification on this. Granted "Spain Province of [name of province]" is a long title but the word province needs to be there to distinguish it from a city of the same name and/or a city or province in another country of the same name. So I was thinking of changing them to say "[name of province] Province, Spain".
