 * If only there were someplace to move it that didn't suffer from PNS syndrome. - -sche (discuss) 02:46, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it's more common to capitalize the 'S' of 'States'. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:41, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Because a 'US State' is a proper noun, so all words of it are capitalized. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:00, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * A proper noun? Not AFAICT. State is often capitalized in official works of the federal government (such as the Constitution and IIRC even modern Supreme Court opinions), but in my experience it's lowercase in everyday use. Perhaps cites will be useful here. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 16:48, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, why did I write that? Mglovesfun (talk) 16:46, 24 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I am neutral on this, but if I would note that Category:US States has quite a lot of subcats now, to the degree that a move would be more difficult than just replacing this specific category. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:45, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
