Template talk:Georgia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have an intimate knowledge of Georgia geography and physiography and have never heard of three of the listed regions in Georgia. Namely Historic South, Inland Empire, and Southern Rivers. These seem to be sourced from the Georgia Department of Tourism. And I believe they are rarely, if ever used in Georgia. I have, however heard of the georgia coast called the "Colonial Coast". But I believe that this too is marketing. Should these be removed/renamed/modified? And a broader question here would be what "regions" are appropriate? physiograhpic,ecological,administrative,etc.? all of these? I may be over thinking this....Docoga 07:41, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

• "Inland Empire" makes me (a native Ohioan and former Georgia resident who's never been to California) think of the area around San Bernardino. I don't think it's a particular designation for an area of Georgia, notwithstanding the state's nickname as the "Empire State of the South". "Historic South": Which history? Would that be the antebellum industry and mines of Marietta, Dahlonega, etc.? Colonial Savannah? The cotton fields and plantations of southern Georgia? Seems incredibly vague. Same goes for "Southern Rivers", which in my mind could refer to the Chattahoochee, the Savannah, or maybe even some other river. -- SwissCelt 22:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. state templates

Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. states/state templates lists and displays all 50 U.S. state (and additional other) templates. It potentially can be used for ideas and standardization. //MrD9 07:14, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Standardization of state templates

There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding standardization of state templates (primarily regarding layout and styling) at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. states/state templates. An effort was made earlier this year to standardize Canadian province templates (which mostly succeeded). Lovelac7 and I have already begun standardizing all state templates. If you have any concerns, they should be directed toward the discussion page for state template standardization. Thanks! — Webdinger ^{BLAH | SZ} 22:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Largest Cities

How were the Largest Cities on this template determined? Isn't Valdosta considered one of the largest cities, also? --Mjrmtg 01:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
