:::I get the sense that you may have taken offense to something I edited which is close to your heart. If that's the case, feel free to let me know and we can discuss it. I'm certainly not trying to offend. About your argument in general, though... By the same logic, we should add the name of the continent as well. And in fact, that might make sense for articles about subjects in smallish countries that are less generally known (e.g., The Gambia). But we shouldn't impose that upon every article. For most, the country does suffice. But in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., common usage and style is to note the city, sometimes county (especially in the U.K.), then the state or province (in the U.K.: England/Scotland/Wales/N. Ireland). These sub-national units are part of the common lexicon, and many approximate the size of nations. I appreciate your desire for consistency, but it's sometimes hard to impose that across the board. I suppose it depends on context. Sometimes the country is called for, sometimes it's not. I'm trying to imagine seeing "United States of America" or even just "U.S.A." in every related article, and it seems onerous and, in many cases, not essential. The beauty of Wikipedia is that common style can be observed, while allowing any reader in doubt to lookup a fact.
