[edit] Colorado counties and the list of counties in Colorado

The Wikipedia:List guideline recommends that stand-alone list articles be used to display simple lists of information and navigation links to detailed articles. The guideline recommends against using tables in list articles. Lists should be kept simple and annotation should generally be limited to Wikipedia:Footnotes.

In 2002, 50 list articles of U.S. counties by state were created to expedite the creation of articles about every county (or county equivalent) in the United States. These 50 county list articles originally contained nothing more than a simple list of every county in each state (see the original list of counties in Colorado). Subsequently, some of these county list articles have been embellished beyond usefulness, while others have remained simple functional lists.

I recommend that the list of counties in Colorado be restored to a simple list of Colorado counties (as recommended by the Wikipedia:List guideline), and any further elaboration be placed in the general article Colorado counties. Your thoughts? --15:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Buaidh
