[edit] Norman Conquest

Norman Conquest in 1071? This should either read "...in 1071 as a result of the Norman conquest", if it means that Richmond was named in 1071, or "Norman Conquest of 1066" if it means the date of the conquest.

[edit] Organize by country

Should these perhaps be sorted by country? There are quite a few places and it would seem better organized if the ones in each country were grouped together --- BRG —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.26.98.90 (talk) 07:30, 26 July 2002 (UTC)

This has been done. Kevyn 00:41, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] People

Someone interested to add people too: George Richmond etc. --Media lib 05:50, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Done. — Fingers-of-Pyrex 17:31, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Richmond, Surrey

Arthur Cayley was born in Richmond, Surrey. This site is not on the list. --xJaM 2 July 2005 01:25 (UTC)

That is Richmond upon Thames - I've updated his page. MRSC 2 July 2005 05:24 (UTC)

[edit] Richmond Virginia

Perhaps it should automatically go to Richmond Virginia, since that is probably the largest and most popular of these places. Note: I'm NPOV on this, I'm not from Richmond Virginia, or even anywhere near there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TotallyTempo (talk • contribs) 23:18, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Within the US, this would make sense. However, I do recall that British people think of THEIR Richmond when they hear the name, and same for Australians. Since it seems so dependent on geography, I think keeping it as a disambig. page would make sense. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 00:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not from the US and was trying to get to richmond bc but I guess I see your point TotallyTempo 02:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Google test Richmond, and then Richmond, VA means ~25% of all Richmond web pages share Virginia. Richmond is a global city ala Atlanta... --M a s 16:29, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Don't think so. Never heard of it, but I've heard of Atlanta. 129.31.72.52 22:42, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Wow I'm sorry 129. I should've been a little more clear. I shoulda linked to global city. Richmond, VIRGINIA is on the list from '99, no other Richmond's are. --M a s 12:39, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
