===[[FIPS place code]] and its subpages===

This is just the ''tip'' of the iceberg: I look at [[Special:Newpages|New Pages]], and was startled to see entries like "[[FIPS place code/Minnesota]] ('''390,351 bytes''')" and "[[FIPS place code/Arkansas]] ('''311,887 bytes'''). These are HUGE subpages of lists of geographic codes. The creator is stacking 'em up, one by one. Wikipedia is NOT a primary source, and it's NOT a bunch of lists.

** ::Wikipedia is ''not'' a primary source. These are taken from the USGS files, simply cut down to be more useful than the raw data. The primary source is the USGS files and the exact same information can be found there. [[User:Rfc1394|Paul Robinson]] 20:17, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

:::Good. Then leave them there. --[[User:Calton|Calton]] | [[User talk:Calton|Talk]] 21:21, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
