[edit] Comma Convention
I have found many arguments against comma disambiguation in Wiki placenames - namely because the majority of Wiki articles are disambiguated with parentheses. Disambiguation is disambiguation, and the "subject" should not matter; I don't think we should rely upon the readers ability to identify an article title as a placename (in order to "get" the fact that the name after the comma is not the placename's own).
Because of "local practices" (of referring to one state from another within the same country) in many English-speaking countries, I do understand that comma disambiguation is common, but please let's not recreate this ambiguity here.
Does anyone share this view?
