Naming of state articles== 
 moved here from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Subnational entities/Naming    

 w/r/t to the States of Mexico (trailing bracket lowercase english partial)  we have actually reached agreement on how to proceed on Talk:States of Mexico; we just haven't got round to implementing it yet. Please take a look at the discussion there, and take the comments on board before proceeding to do anything with those article locations.    

 :who is we ;-)? is your solution worldwide stable? e.g. did you coordinate with Nigeria? At least allow redirects. I will not change anything regarding Mexican states anymore.   

 who is we   
  A couple of other users  high volume contributors on Mexico articles  and myself, when this cropped up a few months ago.    
 is your solution worldwide stable? e.g. did you coordinate with Nigeria?  
  Hell, no. States of Nigeria is a right mess. Besides, internal consistency in accordance with the usages and customs of each country is more important than worldwide uniformity. 
 At least allow redirects.  
  Of course. 
 I will not change anything regarding Mexican states anymore.'' 
  Please contribute to the discussion at  Talk:States of Mexico if you have anything to add. And, if we ever do get round to implementing what's outlined there, please give due consideration to jumping in and lending a hand.  
 
 ::thx for your feedback and inviting me. Will do my best   
 ::States of Venezuela has it uppercase.   

 :FYI, the situation with Venezuela is somewhat different, and I think it reflects a difference in local usage. A Mexican will say (or write), "está en el estado de Oaxaca"; a Venezuelan would prefer, "algo pasó en el Estado Vargas." A difference in how the 'estado' flag is perceived. Miranda State is fine for Venezuela, I think, but I would have been reluctant to see Campeche State (although it does exist as a redirect, of course) sanctioned for the Mexican states.
