Karl, I see that you're adding "Region" attribute to [[Directory:Milson Printing]]. Thing is, there's more than one "Orange County" in the USA -- eight by my count, plus an American-style Beijing suburb called such. If you're going to create it, I think we should model Wikipedia, and make it (more correctly) [[Directory:Orange County, California]]. But, that brings me to the point that Milson Printing is (fictionally) in Memphis, TN. I'll come up with a Region for that.

:* I was thinking that counties would follow the city name examples (see above). That is, the most familiar names would be listed independent of states - all others would be listed with the states. Example: [[Directory:Huntington Beach|Huntington Beach]] and [[Directory:Huntington Beach, New York|Huntington Beach, New York]]. Likewise, [[Directory:Orange County|The OC]] and [[Directory:Orange County, Florida|Orange County, Florida]]. [[User:Centiare|Centiare]] 06:53, 9 January 2007 (PST)

::I wouldn't say that OC, CA is that much more notable than OC, FL, that it deserves "the" Orange County directory spot. But, maybe that's just me, since I lived in OC, FL for 6 years. Seems like we could defer to Wikipedia. If you type in "Orange County" there, you come to a disambiguation page, which suggests that each OC should get its state identification. --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 08:41, 9 January 2007 (PST)
