I think United States, Chanceries of Foreign Governments should be merged into this article. There are only a handful of countries without embassies in Washington, D.C. (6 countries represented only at the United Nations in New York, Guinea-Bissau with it's embassy nearby in Rockville, Maryland, and 3 countries with no diplomatic relations - Cuba, North Korea, and Somolia). These exceptions are noted in List of Washington, D.C. embassies. The lists need to be cross-checked for accuracy — I can work on that, but if others help that's great. -- Aude 01:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
At least for Cuba and Iran, there is an "interests section" in Washington that carries out all the functions of an embassy except actually formally having diplomatic relations. I think it would be most helpful to include that information in the exception section, rather than merely saying "no relations". OK? Also, would we want Taiwan in the exception list? It walks like a country and quacks like a country... Lisamh 00:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I have redirected "Chanceries" to "List"; merged the addresses/missing embassies; and checked discrepancies between the two pages (Sweden, Thailand and Qatar) with the embassies themselves. I have not merged the 'phone numbers in accordance with the comments above. DrKiernan 13:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm a newcomer to DC, and when I realized that the building I worked in (2233 Wisconsin) housed some embassies, I came here to check it out. I was surprised to notice that the same building is listed as being in two different neighborhoods! The location of the Burundi is listed as Glover Park and Fiji is listed as Cathedral Heights. Anyone from DC know which is correct? 216.164.51.185 01:40, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
It seems that very recently the embassy of Georgia has moved to 2209 Massachusetts Ave. NW, in the middle of Embassy Row. Before the move, the building appears to have housed the military attaché office of the United Arab Emirates. Could someone verify this and update the page?

"List of Washington, D.C. embassies" is problematic for the following reasons: 1) The page contains information about other embassies and missions not in Washington, D.C. 2) The current title uses "Washington, D.C." as an adjective to modify the word "embassies", which is incorrect; the embassies list are neither embassies of Washington, D.C. nor are they embassies to Washington, D.C. They are embassies of other nations to the United States. 3) Embassies is an imprecise term. Many countries, especially those in the British Commonwealth, use the term "High Commission", and other countries do not maintain embassies at all but rather consulates and missions. "Diplomatic mission" is the generic term for embassies used in international relations. 4) The new naming convention will match nearly all other countries including the UK, Germany, France, Canada, Mexico, etc. epicAdam ( talk) 01:15, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi people, I am the editor who reformatted and expanded Diplomatic missions in Russia to the article as it stands now. If I may give a little advice in regards to your article. I would modify it somewhat to match the Russian list in terms of formatting. E.g. The country name wikilink should remain as a link to the actual country article. The address column should probably go, this is directory type information, and probably doesn't belong on WP; however, the address could be inserted on individual articles. Keep the neighbourhood column as it. Where the address column now sits, change this to 'mission type', insert Embassy where possible, and wikilink the word embassy to the individual mission article; this column is useful as it also allows for the addition of other diplomatic missions such as that from the European Commission, etc. The existence of ambassadors in these lists, is something that is gonna have to be discussed; how do editors on this article feel about that column? -- Россавиа Диалог 17:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
There is now a discussion at WP:FOR on the formatting and content of "List of diplomatic missions" articles. As this discussion ostensibly could affect this article, editors are encouraged to provide their opinions on the WP:FOR at this link - Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_International_relations#Formatting_of_diplomatic_missions_lists - please do not discuss on this article talk page as valid points for consideration may very well not be seen by editors at large. Thank you, -- Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 23:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
I had my own list of people and organizations in Washington D.C. But, that was a long time ago. Question: What is the purpose of this list? Comment: A list should serve some purpose, like being a mailing list where people can find street addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers. Does anyone know of such lists for Washington D.C.? It's nice to have everything on one page, rather than to look up each individual country by themselves. Too time consuming!
