Editor Benjamin Lowe asks whether '''Massachusetts: History''' should be changed to '''History of Massachusetts''' . That's a policy issue--what do people think?  It's a policy issue for many articles: France: History, Japan: History etc.  The Massachusetts: History format naturally leads to MAssachusetts: Economy/Education/Government etc, with the stress on the state.

Here was Larry Sanger's response in a move the other day "17:52, 7 April 2007 Larry Sanger (Talk | contribs) North Carolina: History moved to [[History of North Carolina]] (Better to invite a free-standing article without a colon)". That seems to imply his preference. [[User:Matt Mahlmann|Matt Mahlmann]] 17:31, 9 April 2007 (CDT)

::the goal is to help people find articles. When we have thousands of articles that start History of ... then it's hard to find things. When we have 10 articles that start Massachusetts: History or Massachusetts:Government or Massachusetts: Economy then searching is much easier. I assume people are interested in Massachusetts (rather than in history generally). [[User:Richard Jensen|Richard Jensen]] 17:38, 9 April 2007 (CDT)
