orlando vs orlando area / tampa vs tampa area
The city categories ALL encompass the immediate area, not just the city limits. So "coasters in the Orlando Area" would be a duplicate of "coasters in Orlando". Similarly, "visitor attractions in orlando, florida" would encompass all attractions in the general Orlando region. This is consistent with all other city articles. For example, "casinos in las vegas" would include casinos in summerlin and henderson, which are suburbs of vegas. See the talk page for Walt Disney World Resort for a multi-year discussion (and last week's fiasco) on the topic. SpikeJones (talk) 16:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * If that is the convention then I suppose the Miami one needs to be changed to just say Miami instead of Greater Miami. Marc Averette (talk) 16:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Help with category placement
I noticed you took out a few sub categories that I placed. The reason I did it was because if you go here: Category:Seaside resorts in the United States, there are several towns there listed as a subcategory that are seaside resorts in the US. Would a proper subcategory for this only be a more refined one like a state, such as seaside resorts in Florida? If so, then the other ones that are just towns & cities should be removed as well. I'll remove them if so. - Marc Averette (talk) 15:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As an example, The Wildwoods are a series of shore resort communities in New Jersey, most of which have "Wildwood" in their name; Each of these communities are shore communities, so Category:Seashore resorts in the United States is appropriate. If you look at Category:The Wildwoods, New Jersey, there are entries for Wildwood Catholic High School and for Tramcar (Wildwood), both of which are for articles related to The Wildwoods. Category:The Wildwoods, New Jersey includes the parent catgeory Cape May County, United States, whcih makes sense, as every place, school and tramcar in The Wildwoods is part of the surrounding county. However, while all of the places are Seashore communities, the High school and the tramcar are not; The Category:Seashore resorts in the United States does not apply to anything other than places, and that's why it was removed. What could be done, and could also be done with similar multi-community resorts in Florida, is to develop an intermediate category, in this case called "Places in the Wildwoods, New Jersey", which would then have both Cape May County AND Seashore resorts in the US as parent categories. Without that the parent category would not belong. I hope this example helps. Please let me know if I can help further on this issue. Alansohn (talk) 16:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently there's a big problem then. I've looked at many different categories.  Here's one example Category:Virginia Beach, Virginia.  Notice how the categories listed for that category are Category:Cities in Virginia and Category:Seaside resorts in the United States, yet there are many different articles on highways, schools, etc. within that aren't cities or resorts.  Is this something that needs to be corrected?  -  Marc Averette (talk) 01:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Category removal
Why are you removing Category:South Florida metropolitan area from dozens of articles? Was there a discussion about this anywhere, or are you just being bold? In a couple of instances, you have changed the category, but most of them are simple removals, and while removing individual buildings from the category might be appropriate, removing major cities such as Fort Lauderdale, Florida and West Palm Beach, Florida from it is a little extreme.

 * It's a higher-level category to all the articles that I'm removing it from. Just following Wiki standard  -
 * For instance Miami, Florida is in the category Category:Cities in Miami-Dade County, Florida, which is under Category:Settlements in Miami-Dade County, Florida, which is under Category:Miami-Dade County, Florida, which is under Category:South Florida metropolitan area - so Miami should be listed in Category:Cities in Miami-Dade County, Florida, but not in SFMA, since the 3 counties are already listed under that one. -  Marc Averette (talk) 21:44, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
