Forum:Place names

Background information

 * In regards to place names, we need to discuss this. Please ignor whether or not the actual articles are created.

Regarding articles, we have the basic continents:
 * North America (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * South America (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Australia (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Europe (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Asia (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Africa (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Antarctica (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)

And we should all be familiar with these.

We also have country articles:
 * Untied States (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Australia (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * England (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * New Zealand (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)

And we should all be familiar with these, and we generally know which continent they are located. etc.

We also have several divisions of country articles and categories:
 * New York (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Pennsylvania (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Georgia (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * New South Wales (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * North Yorkshire (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Västmanland (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Gotland (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Gelderland (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)
 * Baden-Württemburg (Born in..., Died in..., Married in..., etc.)

and the thousand of others...

And just by looking at them, we know which country they are located in. But actually, not really.

New York, Pennsylvania, and Georgia are in the USA, New South Wales is in Australia, North Yorkshire is in England, Västmanland and Gotland are in Sweden, Gelderland is in the Netherlands, and Baden-Württemburg is in Germany.

I know all the U.S. states, a few Canadian provinces, a few German states, one Dthc province, a couple of Swedish provinces, and some English and Irish counties. I had to look up information on New South Wales for this post. I now know that New South Wales is located in Australia.

New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, New South Wales, and Baden-Württemberg are states, North Yorkshire is a county, Gotland and Gelderland are provinces.

Note: Georgia is also the name of a country.

Okay, now let's move on to the next devision.


 * Albany County, New York
 * Winterswijk, Gelderland

Yeah, not everyone is going to know which country these are from.

Okay, I'm going to stop before anyone gets confused. The next edit I will post a possible solution.
