Article name
We really need to set a policy about these pages; there are "X of Y" pages, and also "Y, X" pages. I care less which we pick than that we are consistent! J. Noel Chiappa 12:52, 12 April 2008 (CDT)
- the policy for history articles is "XYZ, history" as in France, history. As I have pointed out repeatedly, 21st century historians strongly dislike "History of XYZ" titles.Richard Jensen 13:51, 12 April 2008 (CDT)
- Is that codified somewhere in CZ policy pages (if not, we should)? What about "Quebec, geography"; "Quebec, music", etc, etc? J. Noel Chiappa 14:47, 12 April 2008 (CDT)

- Well, like I said, I care less what we do than that we are consistent - and that includes across disciplines, when it comes to a basic structuring concept like this. J. Noel Chiappa 15:24, 12 April 2008 (CDT)
- I agree and will try to push for it. Richard Jensen 18:03, 12 April 2008 (CDT)
