Category talk:Virginia, United States

Particularly in a genealogy wiki, "Virginia" is not only a chunk of the Western Hemisphere: it is (and for many centuries was only) a woman's name (the origin of the name of said piece of turf). I'm not too happy having it used for the state, because we have categories for people's names without any additional words. That's why I deliberately created the distinction. Changing it should have had a bit of discussion. This time, Wikipedia is the decider - it uses the single word for the state page and category! Robin Patterson 12:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
