message: So what if San José, Costa Rica is the capitol of an obscure Third-World country? There are some real hell-holes around the world that are national capitols. San José, California is the third-largest city in the state that has the 11th-largest economy in the world and it was the state capitol of California when San José, Costa Rica was still a sleepy little unknown village.
And just to clear up an error on the Wiki page on San José, California - the "angicized" version of "San José" is Saint Joseph; the accent over the "e" was dropped by the US postal Service when it "simplified" and standardized their "official" spelling of the names of cities and towns all across the United States, the official spelling used by the city government is the correct "San José".

message: OK, for over a year there were two SJs listed up top.  I have reverted SquawkBox's edit, which threw SJ California into the main list (linking mostly to stubs).  I'm not going to argue SJ Cal belongs ahead of a national capital, so I still have SJ CR listed first, but by any reasonable measure (population, economics) SJ California belongs in the top two.

message: Yes, the article named "San Jose" or "San José" should redirect to a disambiguation, because two major cities in the world share this name, and it's just a fair result. Both cities have the same size and similar achievements (one is an important industrial city, the other one is a capital of a country). Besides, according to the same cite in the article "San Jose (disambiguation)":
San José – or San Jose – is the Spanish for Saint Joseph. According to the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's GEOnet Names Server, it is the most common place name in the world.

thread_title:  Redirecting to Disambiguation 

message: It's much larger and far more important and notable than the other San Jose.  Usually, when people accidentally book the wrong reservation and end up in San Jose, Costa Rica, they're actually trying to get to San Jose, California, not the other way around.  People make history in San Jose, California every day (for example, more patents are filed from San Jose than anywhere else in the United States), not in San Jose, Costa Rica. --Coolcaesar (talk) 02:27, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact that they end up in Costa Rica seems to suggest that that is the more notable San Jose.--Ykraps (talk) 14:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it suggests that many other countries have incompetent travel agents.  San Jose, Costa Rica is an obscure backwater that rarely makes international headlines.  (Actually, one could say the same thing about Costa Rica in general.) San Jose, California is frequently in international headlines because eBay and Adobe (to name two) are headquartered there.  San Jose, California is regularly visited by the President of the United States with enough frequency that the Secret Service maintains an office there; the last time a U.S. President visited San Jose, Costa Rica was President Clinton back in 1997. Also, both the city of San Jose, California and the surrounding metro area are home to larger, better educated, and far wealthier populations than their counterparts in Costa Rica.  When I have the time this summer I plan to formally initiate the proposed move process.--Coolcaesar (talk) 10:40, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
