Talk:Midwest (United States of America)

From Wikitravel

Regarding the major cities listed, while I wouldn't suggest removing Milwaukee from the list, Columbus, Ohio is one of the 25 largest combined MSAs in the U.S. (while Milwaukee is not). Other than Columbus, all of the below big cities are on the Wikitravel list.

[edit] Sleep section

Just checking--there isn't even supposed to be a sleep section for region pages, much less hotel listings, right? --Peter ^Talk 22:19, 3 March 2008 (EST)

That's my understanding (as you probably noticed) per Wikitravel:Region article template. I guess there could be exceptions where it might be reasonable to have an overview, but certainly at the state level it is ridiculous to have listings. It is my understanding that certain regions like smaller island nations are allowed to have Sleep sections because the towns/villages will not likely ever have articles. -- OldPine 22:24, 3 March 2008 (EST)
