Manual of Style
I have added Manual of Style material to its discussion page:


 * Naming conventions (geographic names)
 * Wiki: Disambiguation

How do we get material on the discussion page considered, approved, and moved into the actual MOS page? Diltsgd 15:10, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Second question is, how long does it have to be vetted before approval and moved into the MoS page? Not keen on long debate. dsammy 17:42, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Interactive Maps Suggestion
The interactive maps of the United States, individual states for counties, Britain, (others?) are wonderful. However, for someone unfamiliar with the geography (or bad at reading maps), the maps may pose a challenge finding the sub-division of their choice. Please consider a Manual of Style guideline that when employing an interactive map, the author should accompany that map with at least a short link to a page that shows an "Alphabetical List of States/Counties" sub-divisions linking to the same places as the links on the map.

Indirect vs Direct Links
Topic had been added to address masked paid subscription sites. Please refer to the MoS discussion page concerning this. dsammy 18:19, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

North Carolina Portal or not
Get rid of the Portal. We already knew the problem associated with the portals in search engine results. dsammy 06:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
