message: * I think a division is a very good idea and would make sense. I am new at all this and learning every day. 
*Those of us that live around here call it something different(I guess un-official) and break it down somewhat differently.
*
*North (Sportsman's Paradise)
*Central(Cross Roads) and maybe South Central
*South- Of course (Cajun country)-is good
*East- (Plantation Country)-is also good
*South east (New Orleans area)
* 
I would have to study the above list but can tell you that to those of us that live in Allen Parish(that are not cajun) we are in the central or south central part of the state. To some cajuns we(Allen Parish) are sometimes referred to as "yankees". The term, as used, applies to "northern folk" and not a political sub-division of the Civil War. I am sure that term would have caused a gun fight back then but not now. There is a joke of sort that if a person lives above I-10 they are either not a true cajun or are transplanted. 
*I would prefer Allen being listed in #crossroads, central, or south central, which ever name(s) has consensus, or lacking any reasonable objections.
*Vernon Parish(central but also considered south central) is proud to be part of Sportsman's Paradise and is listed around here as the heart of such. There is big painting on a trussel, upon entering Leesville, that states for all to see, "Gateway to Toledo bend". I can assure you that there would be contention and excluding Vernon Parish from such(by name) would be offensive to many.  Maybe locals don't visit louisianatravel.com. This is why I suggested alternative use of terms. 
* I like the term Plantation Country though and this should be non-debatable. The same applies with "Greater New Orleans and even Cajun Country.
*
*I would suggest any regions be listed;
**North(excluding Vernon Parish)which would not include the term "Sportsman's Paradise".
**Central or Cross Roads(including Vernon and Allen Parish)
**South 
**East or Plantation Country
**Greater New Orleans
* If there is a search problem(200) with this then I guess South Central would be an alternative. This could include; 
**Allen, 
**Avoyelles, 
**Beauregard, 
**Concordia, 
**Evangeline, 
**Rapides, 
**Vernon, 
**and maybe St. Landry and even, Pointe Coupee. These would be considered South Central but may be a big part of Plantation Country as I have not looked. 
Concerns
*My only concern with "splitting" would be not to include Allen in Cajun Country and certainly not excluding Vernon from the term "Sportsman's Paradise". 
Reasoning
South Beauregard has a large Cajun population and the southern border is farther south than the south border of Allen Parish. Allen Parish is due East of Beauregard. The towns and communities of Basile, Eunice, Kinder, Leblanc, Oberline, Ville Platte, Opelousas, and others certainly have a large population of Cajuns so I would simply use South.
Interest
*I think that all those interested in these articles should make it known, have a discussion, and come to a conclusion. Being new I do not know how to get anything like this started so someone with knowledge please take the lead.
* I would like to point out that I am not interested in joining anything where there is contention, word fights, or any other discord. I only say this as I have seen talk pages that need to be censored or otherwise reined in for such things. Thank you, Otr500 (talk) 14:55, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, good! :)  I agree that the tourist region names should not be used, as they seem too promotional in tone and because you suggest they are not widely known.  I agree that "North" vs. "Central" vs. South vs Southeast sounds better.  Let's see if there are other suggestions on how to partition.  There's no rush on dividing this either.
