[edit] Original page was very long
789K is WAY too big--should be broken up, probably by letter range. Niteowlneils 03:36, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
- Maybe a better broke may be by category : County, municipality, CDP...I don't think a list of places in California means something. Shall we create List of places in the USA ?--Revas 03:39, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

- Why not? There are a million other lists of places. See Category:Lists of places Why should this list not exist because it is complete, whereas the others are thoroughly empty. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-08-21 04:41

- Yes, but you can put them on your user page. Don't beliebe people never watch it.--Revas 15:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

- According to special:Longpages, this is the largest page in the entire encyclopedia, almost twice the size of the next-largest page. Furthermore, that next-largest page is also a vanilla list of places, as are all the top five biggest pages, and all five of them were created by the same user. The next-biggest one outside of the five pages created by that user is just about a third the size of this page. Even if this list was encyclopedic or useful (and I think it's not, and would vote to delete it if it came up on VfD), it's plain that it is just Too Damn Big. While size constraints are a bit looser for lists, Wikipedia articles should not rival small MP3s in size. Aquillion 04:01, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

- Okay, I knocked out a bunch of the breakups, but there is still some stuff left to be done. We should add the header from this page to all the daughters, and mark some with {{list-stub}}. There is already a list for cities in California, and for counties, so what do you suggest we put on this page? Anything? --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark) 20:08, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Navigation change
How about:
- Because this list would be too long for one page, it has been broken down by letter:

[edit] What is the intended use for this parent list?
There seems to be a combination of cities that are included in the separate alphabetical listing and other places that are listed only here. Is this by design? Shold it be shortened to just the navigation emplae and a see also section for other lists?--Hjal 10:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
