Line 193: * '''Merge''' per nom. [[User:Bondegezou\|Bondegezou]] ([[User talk:Bondegezou\|talk]]) 09:42, 18 April 2019 (UTC) * '''Merge''' per nom. There was only one Virginia even if the territory occupied by the opposing armies varied. [[User:Doug Weller\|<span style="color:#070">Doug Weller</span>]] [[User talk:Doug Weller\|talk]] 15:08, 18 April 2019 (UTC) * '''Merge''' per nom - aside from the considerations above, the purpose of categories is to help non-experts find stuff, so whilst some people like to micromanage the names I tend to emphasise consistency and predictability. Hence we have xxxx in France categories regardless of whether it should in theory be xxxx in the Kingdom of France at some points of history and eg xxxx in the French Republic at others. It makes it easier for people not expert in French history to use "France" categories - and also easier for navigation templates and other automatic processes. The benefits of that kind of thing far outweigh the slight reduction in historical precision.[[User:Le Deluge\|Le Deluge]] ([[User talk:Le Deluge\|talk]]) 12:41, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
