Wikipedia talk:Geographic imbalance

'See also' needs a link to relevant template[s]
I came here because I need to tag a section of an article as needing an international perspective and expected to find a link here to a suitable template. I know such a template exists but not its name. Could someone interested in this essay please supply? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:15, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Careful with suggesting deletion of geographical locales
I believe that this essay, as it stood, too readily suggested the possibility of deletion of geographical locales. Editors need to remember that Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia, it is a gazetteer as well. See Five pillars. As WP:PLACEOUTCOMES says ''Cities and villages anywhere in the world are generally kept, regardless of size or length of existence, as long as that existence can be verified through a reliable source. This usually also applies to any other area that has a legally recognized government, such as counties, parishes and municipalities.'' They generally do have a reliable source at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency database. See also the guideline at Notability (geographic features) I edited the essay to make that a little clearer. --Bejnar (talk) 19:56, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
