Line 750: :(after ec) Again, it is not only about providing context. IF (and only if) the parenthetical convention had been used for city names, then there would be no question whatsoever that using "city (state)" for uniquely named cities would be inappropriate. It would never occur to anyone to use such a form to refer to the city (outside of Wikipedia, that is). Such a form would be purely for disambiguation. The city, state form is not only about disambiguation. It is a common and familiar way to refer to these places, that also happily disambiguates as well.

And if you think there is only ''one'' common name, which would it be: The ''cityname'' or the ''city,state'' name? --[[User:Ishu\|Ishu]] 18:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
