thread_title:  Is there a wikidata version of this? 

message: Currently, the list seems to be by state, then facility type, then city; however, the facility names often seem contradict the facility categories.  For example, in California, there is a section labeled "Outpatient Clinic", which has a bunch of facilities labeled "CBOC" and "OPC", then a section labeled "Community Based Outpatient Clinic", which seems to have different facilities also labeled "CBOC" and "OPC".  What's the difference?  Is the organizational structure different than the clinic names imply?  Or is it all just a mess?  If the facilities were named the same as the category, the list could probably become much more compact.  --Closeapple 06:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bizarre categorization 

message: While including this article (list) in the Veterans infobook, I notice upon printing that the page burps and is rendered in unformatted text. Given the prior comment about categorizations and the length of the page, perhaps a better format would be a sortable table with: 
:- one table per region, with sortable headings of
::*facility name
::*city
::*state
::*type
:and we can add another column if necessary:
::*note
The VA categorizes such facilities in several ways. I'll try to come up with a draft table for this list in the next few days that reflects how the VA classifies these things. -- Sctechlaw (talk) 20:22, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Page doesn't format for print properly

message: Having entered 2 of the 21 VISN tables and seeing now the length of the page, it seems pretty clear that the page will be too large with all 21 VISNs and the state breakdown below that. I think there should be a split that makes the "by state" page separate. Comments and thoughts? -- Sctechlaw (talk) 05:59, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: After adding the VISNs 1 and 15-23, it is apparent that the page will be too large with all VISNs on the same page, so another split is on order. I propose splitting the page as it exists now into sections 1-12 and another page for sections 15-23. Sections 13-14 don't exist as those VISNs were merged to form VISN 23. Thoughts? -- Sctechlaw (talk) 07:38, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

text: Indeed, it should be split in some way, and shouldn't be a linkfarm. DMOZ is useful for that, not Wikipedia. tedder (talk) 04:10, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
