Explanation

edit

If these events are going to be advertised in a wikipedia-wide banner, this page should contain some explanation of what they are. Btwied (talk) 20:14, 26 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Red links?

edit

Contributors seem to just be adding city names to the list, but without creating links to specific events or campaigns. Should we redlink these, hoping someone might take the initiative to create new pages? --Another Believer (Talk) 00:51, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia takes United States?

edit

Wikipedia is an international organization. For the rest of the world, but peple from the United States, Amercia is one continent, not a country. Since for people of United States there is no better demonym than "Americans", doesn't mean that we should refer to the country as America. --169.237.62.144 (talk) 15:17, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

This was decided last year. See Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Takes America 2012#Requested move. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 15:50, 30 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Overly Localized?

edit
The chosen event locations seem to be localized to a small area in each selected state. 
Participation would be greatly decreased due to long distance one would have to travel in their state to reach the event.
For example: Philadelphia is the least centralized location for state of Pennsylvania, forcing many who want to attend the event to travel over 300 miles (482 km).

Deletion request

edit

Would an admin mind deleting Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes America/2013/City name here (change this)? --Another Believer (Talk) 15:01, 2 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Would someone mind merging or redirecting one of the duplicate entries for both Miami and San Francisco? See the 2013 category to see duplicate pages. Thank you. --Another Believer (Talk) 16:05, 10 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
