ok the convention on naming appears to be falling by the wayside some cities articles ie toronto montreal are titled as the city's name only while others chicago winnipeg calgary vancouver are burdened with having the state or province following the city in the article title in response to your omment below the full name of toronto is toronto ontario canada which is unnecessarily long as an article name besides wikipedia articles use the most common name not the full name of article subjects e g united states not united states of america and united kingdom not united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland wikipedia is an international encyclopedia not a north american one so the article title should be what readers around the world will think of first not just those in north america many people outside of canada have not heard of ontario even though they know about toronto let's just leave keep it simple and keep the existing redirect from toronto ontario to toronto ground zero t and seeing that you are administrator please re name the winnipeg manitoba calgary alberta edmonton alberta and vancouver british columbia articles to winnipeg calgary edmonton and vancouver respectively their full names ie winnipeg manitoba canada are unnecessarily long and readers worldwide know of these cities even if they have not heard of manitoba alberta or british columbia as you suggest let's keep it simple we should not imply that toronto montreal and ottawa by the way both vancouver and calgary are larger than ottawa are in a different league so let's say that all canadian cities of over should stand on their own we'll make up our own rules as we go along thanks i hope you are able to do this soon
