US regions

[edit]

The portal for New England was added to the list this week. It is the only portal in the list that is a region instead of a state (large cities that have their own portal are listed in parentheses after the state that contains them). At a glance, of the articles for the other US regional divisions the most developed are the Mid-Atlantic and Mountain regions. I'm not sure what the best way of organizing this will be once the other regions get portals since the indentation on the page seems limited to per country and having nested parentheses would be hard to read.

change "Latin America" to "Central and South America"?

[edit]

I'm not a geography expert (and if one can help it would be great), but it seems that there is a confusion about North/South/Latin Americas on this page. Mexico is listed in both North America (fine) and also in Latin America (duplicate!).

As one country can only be in one continent, wouldn't it be better to change the "Latin America" text to actually the continent name it means? Mexico would be listed only in North America and no other countries would need to be changed.

A 5 March 2013 coment, but relevant today. I changed every green redirect to its underlying link. Should there be Honduras, or Central America, or South America? Exactly what should be done instead. I seek other opinions before making any changes.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 21:08, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

European Union

[edit]

Is this a political or geographical classification in this context? I think it should be geographical, and be listed under E. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 11:39, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
