Talk:List of counties in Mississippi

Wouldn't List of Mississippi counties be better so as not to give the impression that this is an encyclopedia article about Mississippi counties? Then pages with a title that has the string "List" could be excluded from the total article count statistics (because these aren't articles, they are lists - which really is something almanacs do and not encyclopedias; but because wikipedia is not paper I don't see why we shouldn't have these lists -- so long as they are obviously marked). --maveric149

Sure, I could change them. I think the advantage of having the lists is not for the lists per se, but rather to give an idea of the topics that need to be covered. There is so little information about most of the states. Once these links are filled in, they should give quite a bit information about the different states. Danny

Very true. Lists are a good way to start articles by making empty topics obvious. I can help you change over the lists to the "List of" titles. I asked the question because I was just wondering if you thought it would be a good idea to use the format of "list of" when creating lists in the future. Respond back to my talk if you would like help moving and redirecting the lists. --maveric149
