I have noticed "United States" and "U.S." are both used in titles, whereas MOS:ACROTITLE seems to prescribe the full name in the title, unless the abbreviation is significantly more well known.

If you find yourself wanting to correct some listcruft and WP:OR, the List of active separatist movements in North America is pretty bad and needs some refining.

Trimmed down a bit already. I feel like some obsessed fringe editors over years got it to the state it is in. I also feel like lumping in autonomy and regionalist groups with hate groups is pretty bad. Not sure how best to organize the article, but it seems like each entry should be so obvious that it has its own article already, and really only needs a single bullet point per 'movement'.

Thanks for taking a look. Rauisuchian ( talk) 09:58, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

wp:WikiProject Iowa is inactive, but I'm running into articles that could be tagged as such, and aren't tagged with template:WPUSA.

With the flurry of recent Biden administration picks, we're seeing a lot of changes to the articles of prospective cabinet-level appointees along the lines of "X is the [position]-designate". Do people know: (1) if there are RS that are using this phrase (I haven't seen any so far); and/or (2) if this is a real thing in federal law? AFAIK, you are either the Secretary of X or the nominee to be Secretary of X, neither of which would be possible for a prospective Biden Cabinet member since he can't officially/legally nominate anyone until January. Being the designated Secretary of X doesn't seem like it means much, at least to my knowledge. AleatoryPonderings ( ???) ( !!!) 22:35, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

On November 19, 2019 you marked the Puerto Rico talk page with the project you say you are trying to revive. Since then, more than a year later, you haven't made one edit to the article although I'm sure the article could benefit from your contributions.

In 2015 Jaguar marked thousands of Puerto Rico articles with the WikiProject UST and also did not make one edit for the benefit of the articles.

As you may or may not know, the WikiProject Puerto Rico, etablished 14 years ago, is quite active. I myself have made thousands upon thousands of edits to PR articles. So before you start marking all articles of fat people on Wikipedia with WikiProject Fat People, we know Puerto Rico is a Territory of the US, have a talk with your project members and consider how you will assist in improving the articles. Merely marking the article with a Project is not helping. -- The Eloquent Peasant ( talk) 11:51, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

The article José Silva (parapsychologist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

As mentioned on the main Rhode Island article:

Formerly named the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations since its accession to the Union in 1790, voters in the state approved an amendment in November 2020 to the state constitution, renaming itself the State of Rhode Island. This change took effect when the results were certified on November 30, 2020.

I noticed that some articles like Rhode Island statistical areas still mention the state's old name.

Not sure if this is the right place to put a note like this. In any case, I wanted to make a note that Rhode Island's official name is worth updating across a number of articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewda ( talk • contribs) 22:10, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Someone brought it up here, with regards to the Boston Tea Party.

Hello! Sarah here, attempting to update and improve the Kiwi Camara article on behalf of DISCO. I've disclosed my conflict of interest and shared a link to a draft article at Talk:Kiwi Camara, but so far I have not received any feedback from other editors even after posting similar requests for help at WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Tambayan Philippines. I've outlined problems with the current article, which is mostly a Background section with two Controversy sections related to the same incident. I've also worked to draft a more well-rounded biography which relies on news organizations over student newspapers. Are any members of WikiProject United States able to review the concerns I've identified alongside the draft, then update the live article appropriately? Thanks in advance!

While working on getting the main article - Mountain Meadows Massacre - to possibly being a WP:GA I've become aware that Wikipedia has 8 different articles about various aspects of the Mountain Meadow Massacre. Does Wikipedia need all of these articles? Can any of them be combined...should any of them be combined?

• Mountain Meadows Massacre and Mormon theology
• War hysteria preceding the Mountain Meadows Massacre
• Conspiracy and siege of the Mountain Meadows Massacre
• Killings and aftermath of the Mountain Meadows Massacre
• Investigations and prosecutions relating to the Mountain Meadows Massacre
• Remembrances of the Mountain Meadows Massacre
• Mountain Meadows Massacre and Mormon public relations
• Media coverage of the Mountain Meadows Massacre

The articles are rendered in the Template:Mountain Meadows massacre series as:

• Theological factors
• War hysteria
• Conspiracy and siege
• Killings and aftermath
• Investigations and prosecutions
• Remembrances
• LDS public relations
• Media depictions

I've also posted about this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject History - see this section, but haven't gotten any responses. I've read through much of the articles and they don't seem all that different. To me the "Conspiracy and siege", "Killings and aftermath", "Investigations and prosecutions" articles, especially, seem somewhat redundant and repetitious in subject matter.

I noticed that all 50 states have a short description of "State of the United States of America".

Hi, because the short description matches what is in Wikidata right now, you would need to change Wikidata too, or the articles will end up in the "hidden" category of Category:Short description is different from Wikidata. Wikidata, in this case, uses the more formal, long name of the USA. Also, template:infobox settlement, of which template:infobox U.S. state is a wrapper template, is supposed to be adding short descriptions automatically, but when I try that, it doesn't match what is in Wikidata either. Does anyone have any input on this problem? -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 23:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

I also think because Wikidata is a multilingual site, that "... of America" is used, because several other countries are also "United States", like: Estados Unidos Mexicanos. -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 23:08, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

The Wikidata description is often used as the default for a local short description but the two do not need to match. Also, {{ infobox settlement}} will add a reasonable short description in most cases — GhostInTheMachine ^{talk to me} 07:27, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello, all. I have been, over the last several months off and on, working on creating templates listing the county seats of each state, then distributing said templates on the articles of the county seats. My first was Montana county seats, and my most recent as of this post is Connecticut county seats. I have created 11 such templates as of this post, improving the amount from 13 to 24. Therefore, there are 26 county seat templates left, and I intend on working on this until all 50 states have their own templates. If anyone wants to pitch in and make more such templates for states that do not have one yet, then distribute them to the relevant pages, I would much appreciate that. I believe that it is beneficial to the encyclopedia to be able to navigate through pages of county seats effectively.

I have also created a template for the templates, placed below, so as to navigate through county seat templates, and also to track progress. I would love to see all those links be blue someday. And it can happen pretty soon, too, especially if at least several people are working on it. Cheers.

Started Template:Idaho county seats; but should this list be by County Name, and not Seat/Town name? Such that selecting Power County, Idaho, would actually take you to: American Falls, Idaho? (Going through the County name to get to the County Seat?) Mjquinn_id ( talk) 16:07, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

I've found two cases where towns straddle the MD-DE state line so far. In both cases there are two articles, one for each state. For Delmar, Maryland and Delmar, Delaware there are two incorporations and thus two mayors etc., but the reality is that it's a single town that the state line runs through; there's even only a single town website. Hickman, Maryland and Hickman, Delaware is a worse case, both because the whole thing is unincorporated, and because the dividing line is the road that the community straddles, with houses on one side in a different state from those on the other; and there are no other streets.

To my mind, each of these should be one article. The current split for Delmar is marginally arguable from a necessary legal fiction POV, but from what I can see everyone views the two halves as a single town. The Hickman case is less justifiable because there is no legal fiction to be reproduced. So I'd like to merge both of these, but I would like to know how we've handled this in the past, especially in terms of article naming. Mangoe ( talk) 03:46, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

There's also Marydel, Delaware and Marydel, Maryland. For the Delmar case, this is interesting - it notes that the two sides create their own revenues and ordinances, but then the pool the revenues and have a single town manager. The legal fiction and separate stuff like incorporation and ordinances makes Delmar tricky. Hickman should certainly be merged, IMO to Hickman, Delaware and Maryland. We seem to handle unincorporated communities in two states that way - see Boydsville, Kentucky and Tennessee, Dukedom, Kentucky and Tennessee, Pruden, Kentucky and Tennessee, Arkmo, Arkansas and Missouri, and presumeably others.

I want to gather Consensus on resurrecting a long dead, separate template for Wikipedia:WikiProject Idaho, as I want to get some Task Forces going. But it would require the removal (probably) of some parameters from the Main Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_United_States template... and a fairly large SUBST, which is going to look pretty odd in View History... In General, I think I would 1) LEAVE the US Template; 2) Drop the ID Specific parameters 3) ADD the Idaho Template (Same "class", same "importance").

So, The WikiProject Idaho template was rebuilt as a wrapper a couple years ago. A wrapper to the US Template. Being thorough, they also put into place an auto WP:SUBST that rebuilds the Idaho template into the US template with the ID flags. In trying to rebuild the project, I need to reverse that. Finding the US Template WITH the ID=yes flag and reverse it; dropping ID parameters and ADDING the new ID Template. (Currently in the template's sandbox).

1. ) I didn't want to perform a change on some 2,000 pages without getting some kind of consensus with the US Project first. Especially, pulling the ID flag from the US Talk Banner... unless you are ok leaving it there?
2. ) Though I have worked with templates for quite a while, this would be the largest change that I have pulled off. Might be nice to have another template expert looking over my shoulder? - Mjquinn_id ( talk) 14:17, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

I have two comments about the recently released 2020 census data, which can be noted in this diff [1]:

1. Each of the five races ( White, Black, Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Pacific Islander) is enumerated both as race alone, and as race alone or in combination. We need to decide which will be listed first in the article, and whether both will be given in the infobox.
2. There has clearly been a significant change in how Hispanics/Latinos are counted. Hispanics who identified their race as White alone dropped from 27 million in 2010 to 13 million in 2020, while Hispanics who identified as two or more races rose from 3 million to 20 million. How should this be dealt with, especially in the articles Hispanic and Latino Americans and White Hispanic and Latino Americans? Will they still be considered as white, or not? — Lights and freedom ( talk ~ contribs) 03:17, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

A similar discussion about this is ongoing at Talk:United States#How to approach 2020 census data (ethnicity and race). I suggested that we start listing both race alone and in comination on all articles where it is necessary to list this data. 2020 census data on race and ethnicity is not directly comparable to data from past censuses, due to changes in methodology, something the census bureau has cautioned.

Should we seek to make the titles of entries about ethnic groups in the United States more consistent? --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 17:27, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

If you poke around Category:Ethnic groups in the United States, or more specifically Category:Ethnic groups in the United States by city and Category:Ethnic groups in the United States by state, you'll notice inconsistency with how articles are titled. For instance, in Oregon there's Hispanics and Latinos in Portland, Oregon, History of Chinese Americans in Portland, Oregon, and History of the Japanese in Portland, Oregon.

Category:Chinese-American history shows some consistency across city entries using "History of Chinese Americans in XXX". Category:Korean-American culture by city is fairly inconsistent: there are entries using "History of Koreans in XXX", "History of Korean Americans in XXX", "History of the Korean Americans in XXX", and "Koreans in XXX". The categories Japanese-American culture by city and Hispanic and Latino American history are inconsistent.

Here's my question: Should we seek to make the titles of entries about ethnic groups in the United States more consistent?

If so, there seem to be several options:

1. Use "History of XXX in YYY" (example: History of Chinese Americans in Portland, Oregon)
2. Use "History of the XXX in YYY" (example: History of the Japanese in Portland, Oregon)
3. Use "XXX in YYY" (example: Hispanics and Latinos in Portland, Oregon; Koreans in New York City)
4. Use "XXX culture in XXX" (example: Hispanic and Latino culture in Portland, Oregon)

I'm thinking we should decide if the words "history" or "culture" are helpful in the titles of such articles, or if simply mentioning the ethnic group and geography are all that's necessary. If we can come to a consensus, many page moves will be required to make entries consistent, but then we'd have a solid standard moving forward. I invite all to weigh in, discuss pros and cons, and select a preferred format (if applicable).

Thanks! --- Another Believer _{( Talk)} 17:27, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

I prefer "X in Y" because it's the simplest and broadest. History is not necessarily culture and vice versa, and "History of" articles are not limited to that, also including the current demographics and culture as well. The other inconsistency though is whether "Americans" is included, e.g. History of Korean Americans in Boston vs History of Koreans in Baltimore – I would include that.

• Strong oppose A and B, support C in consistency with most other Wikipedia pages ( Americans in the Philippines, Americans in the United Kingdom, Americans in Pakistan, Americans in India, etc. etc.). Using "history" seems to assume that such an ethnic group no longer exists or has been assimilated, that the for example French ethnicity of a French person who migrated to the USA 1 week ago is "part of history", even when that person might still identify as a French and not as a French American or American of French origin.
