[edit] Merge
I think United States, Chanceries of Foreign Governments should be merged into this article. There are only a handful of countries without embassies in Washington, D.C. (6 countries represented only at the United Nations in New York, Guinea-Bissau with it's embassy nearby in Rockville, Maryland, and 3 countries with no diplomatic relations - Cuba, North Korea, and Somolia). These exceptions are noted in List of Washington, D.C. embassies. The lists need to be cross-checked for accuracy — I can work on that, but if others help that's great. --Aude 01:20, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
- I concur with Kmf164's suggestion about merging these two articles. Jacob1207 05:03, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- I also agree, it is confusing and already lost any interest with this/these article(s). --Azaza767 20:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
At least for Cuba and Iran, there is an "interests section" in Washington that carries out all the functions of an embassy except actually formally having diplomatic relations. I think it would be most helpful to include that information in the exception section, rather than merely saying "no relations". OK? Also, would we want Taiwan in the exception list? It walks like a country and quacks like a country...Lisamh 00:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I have redirected "Chanceries" to "List"; merged the addresses/missing embassies; and checked discrepancies between the two pages (Sweden, Thailand and Qatar) with the embassies themselves. I have not merged the 'phone numbers in accordance with the comments above. DrKiernan 13:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] DC Neighborhoods
I'm a newcomer to DC, and when I realized that the building I worked in (2233 Wisconsin) housed some embassies, I came here to check it out. I was surprised to notice that the same building is listed as being in two different neighborhoods! The location of the Burundi is listed as Glover Park and Fiji is listed as Cathedral Heights. Anyone from DC know which is correct? 216.164.51.185 01:40, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- These things generally aren't clear cut but that bldg is in Glover Park. Cathedral Hghts is a bit further north on Wisconsin Ave. I'll update the page. --dm (talk) 01:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New location of Georgian Embassy
It seems that very recently the embassy of Georgia has moved to 2209 Massachusetts Ave. NW, in the middle of Embassy Row. Before the move, the building appears to have housed the military attaché office of the United Arab Emirates. Could someone verify this and update the page?
[edit] Indian Embassy Wrong Building
- As I have noted on the Indian embassy image, I believe this is the embassy annex (2536 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington D.C. 20008), and not the embassy itself (located at 2107 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington D.C. 20008). For the actual chancery, see the picture on the India embassy homepage, and the addresses of the two locations. I will try to take a picture of the actual chancery when I get time. --Asiir 00:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have corrected this issue. --Asiir 22:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Georgian embassy photo
Could this pic be used? http://embassy.mfa.gov.ge/index.php?sec_id=48&lang_id=GEO# —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.58.5.66 (talk) 03:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
