[edit] Title

Every article listed in the U.S. state capitols category is named "_____ State Capitol" or "_____ State House". Every link to this article is pointing to "Minnesota State Capitol". Most importantly, people call it the Minnesota State Capitol, even if it's a bit redundant. Wikipedia policy is to use the common name. Based on all that, I think the article should stay where it is now. Jonathunder 04:50, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)

If it is Wikipedia policy to use the name that it is called, why is the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis under Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis? EdwinHJ | Talk 00:17, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"Use common name" is the general rule, but some categories have their own, more specific, conventions. Jonathunder 05:28, 2005 Apr 24 (UTC)


[edit] Content

It is stated "Equally, he managed to avoid any reference to a palace block that would have been offensive to Minnesotans." While that's interesting, it leaves the reader wondering WHY that would be offensive to Minnesotans.
