Here is yet another list of municipalities with a standardized format that now includes 42 (!!) lists in North American jurisdictions. Inspired by real encyclopedias with consistent formatting and high standards, I'm helping to achieve this for lists of municipalities. I tried to incorporate changes from previous nominations but I'm sure I've missed some and there can always be improvements. Thanks for your reviews Mattximus (talk) 18:22, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Comments from Steelkamp

• Should the "S" in Southwest Mexico be capitalised? From Googling, there seems to be a mixture of capitalised and non-capitalised, which indicates that Wikipedia should not capitalise it. There is no Wikipedia article on Southwest Mexico, but Guerrero does not capitalise the term.

• I don't have a strong opinion on this, but grammatically if it's a direction it's not capitalized but if it's a region or place, it is. So I can see why it goes either way since it is both.

• Should census be decapitalised?  Done
• Can Mexican Census link to Censo General de Población y Vivienda instead (a redirect from Mexican census)?  Done
• Can the population density column be split into two columns similar to land area? That column really stands out by having the units and two different measurements all in the same column, and with the size of my screen, there are some rows which have the km2 and sq mi on different lines which makes reading down the column hard.

• For this I don't really have a strong opinion either way, your suggestion is probably a bit better than it is now. I'm not sure why this format was chosen originally but almost all lists for all Mexican and American states have this format. It would be odd to make this one stand out with a different format than all the others, and it would be too onerous to change all 85 other lists (including dozens of featured lists) to then match this one. Not sure if this is a critical change you are suggesting? Mattximus (talk) 21:05, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

I do truly believe this would make this list better, and the other lists too. If it's too onerous to change all lists over right now, you can change this list over now and the other lists over time. Is it really that big a deal if there is a slight inconsistency with the lists for a while? Steelkamp (talk) 02:31, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

• For the first image, the alt text shouldn't really duplicate the caption. One solution is to set the alt text to "refer to caption" as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Alternative text for images.  Done

That's all from me. Steelkamp (talk) 05:19, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
