Talk:List of diplomatic missions of the United States

message: It is mentioned that the Confederacy maintained a consular presence in Texas. This does not make sense as Texas was itself a part of the Confederacy. I shall thus delete it.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.153.46.5 (talk) 23:01, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't we put this article under "United States", not "American", seeing as American encompasses the entirety of two continents, whereas this article relates to only one country on one of those continents.  I know making the move will be a pain, but I think it will better express what the article is about.  Clarkefreak ∞ 19:42, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: United States diplomatic missions

message: The country was listed as being in the Middle East, which it's actually situated in Southwest Asia. I fixed it. Shadowrun 23:53, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For the other 160+ articles Afghanistan is considered to be in the Middle East.  There is no definition of what countries are in the Middle East; if you feel strong about this, could you please modify all the other articles.  Kransky 04:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually, there's a ton of these that look a little odd. For instance, Kyrgystan is listed as part of Europe. Do we have a source we can use to explain that in the LEAD, or should we go with a more conventional layout? MrZaiustalk 02:36, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Afghanistan's regional location was incorrectly listed

message: As the number of articles on individual US diplomatic missions grows, perhaps a link could be made in the body to the appropriate article rather than going to the ==See Also== section to look is an article exists?  Maybe something like:
* France
** Paris (Embassy) (Article)

message: It might be helpful if the list included US Virtual Presence Posts as listed in article Office of eDiplomacy.  WHile we're at it, it might be helpful to flag the posts that have been designated American Presence Posts also.

replies: text: I don't know if VPPs should make the cut.  They really are nothing more than fancy web pages - no office, no phones, no dedicated email or staff (even sattelite in an other area).  Having a web page that says a city's name is not the same as an actual staffer. Bevinbell 03:03, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No.  We don't include honorary consulates, which are a more substantial level of representation than websites. Kransky (talk) 06:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Discussion at WP:FOR on formatting and content of "List of diplomatic missions" article

message: Ok, so there are several nations placed under regions headings that they probably shouldn't be. The ones that I have noticed, where they currently are, and where I think they should be: Kazakhstan, currently in Europe, should be in Asia; Kyrgyzstan, currently in Europe, should be in Asia; Tajikistan, currently in Europe, should be in Asia; Turkmenistan, currently in Europe, should be in Asia; and Turkey, currently in Middle East, (debatably) should be in Europe.
Also, I don't understand why a Middle East section is necessary in this list since all the countries that are included in the Middle East section of this list are Asian countries (except for Turkey). I guess the real question is whether the regions are divided geographically or politically? It seems like the list is made with different standards for some countries. DruidODurham (talk) 22:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hi Druid - yes it is an issue that has arisen, with some people wanting certain counties in certain continents (and others not wanting the change).  People seem happy to use as a guide the United Nations geoscheme which provides some deliniation.  If you want to improve articles, you could remove the Middle East continent and move its contents to Asia.  Kransky (talk) 12:43, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi, I have reverted the edits made to break North America into North and Central/Caribbean.  I think you have a good idea, but the place to have that discussion is North_america#Countries_and_territories not here.  If you can reach consensus there, maybe you can come back here and make the change?  Bevinbell (talk) 23:58, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

message: There is still a Consulate General in Jerusalem exciting as a separate mission from the mission to Israelhttps://jru.usconsulate.gov/. Is should be re-added (I tried to re-add it but my edit was reverted) Bens (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mission To Jerusalem 

message: It seems that titles for US Embassies refer to the city that they are located. As there aren't multiple embassies in a country we should refer to it as the embassy to the country rather than the city.  Wouldn't it make more sense to have the title of the article refer to the country that the embassy is located?
Current Title
Embassy of the United States, Rome
Proposed Title
Embassy of the United States to Italy
Note, Rome is just an example. I wanted to bring this talk to an article that listed most of the missions. Consulates would still refer to the city name.

replies: text: * Oppose: @Embassyupdate no, i think that it is very much clear an nice as to how the embassy pages should be named. The page should be titled like other diplomatic missions, where the host country's CAPITAL is used instead of saying "in the/in [host country]" Utkarsh555 (talk) 05:26, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
