message: Why is Worcester, England the default result for Worcester.  Worcester, MA, USA is a city with a population nearly twice as large and much more notable contributions to human progress. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.118.226.27 (talk) 20:56, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: It is? From my North American eyes, Worcester Mass is far and away the most notable. We've got another continental divide here methinks. Kirjtc2 15:08, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Historic city versus "normal" city.  The one in England (a county town, no less) came first and deserves the primary dab.  violet/riga (t) 15:34, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: So should the Boston in England be primary because it came first? Should Memphis, Egypt have priority over Memphis, Tennessee? Look at Google: 9 of the first 10 hits and 16 of the top 20 are for Worcester MA. Even on google.co.uk it gets 7 of the top 10. I'm not saying Worcester Mass should be primary, but at the least it should be a disamb page. To put the English city first (even if that seems to be the preference for naming UK cities in wikipedia) shows a lack of respect for the people in Worcester Mass.

replies: text: No it doesn't.  "Historic" doesn't necessarily mean "first" (though I know I said "first" to start with).  Web presence doesn't make a place more important, but I truly believe that the Worcester in England is far more important (because of its history and the fact that it's a county town).  violet/riga (t) 22:34, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's your POV.  Who are you to say one town is more "important" than the other?  This is ridiculously biased, to have the primary page for Worcester be a city with half the population of Worcester, Massachusetts.  A disambiguation page is logical. 24.199.113.215 09:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
