	In some of the about sections (such as [[New Orleans, LA]], [[Costa Verde, CA]], [[Cork, Ireland]], etc.) there is information about what actually happened, while other articles (such as [[Odessa, TX]], [[Las Vegas, NV]], [[Los Angeles, CA]]) have abouts that describe the place itself. Any chance to have a general consensus about this? Maybe have the about sections with information that happened, and put them in stuff such as "Odessa, TX/Season One" with a summary on its main page like we do for characters?

			* Because Vegas, New York, LA, and Odessa are featured so prominently and so frequently, it was decided that we would not do an episode-by-episode summary for those places. In fact, it would be quite redundant to write the same information on [[Odessa, TX]] that you would on [[The Bennets' home (Odessa)]]. Other places which are not featured as frequently have a more detailed summary...to sort of flesh out the page, I guess. Lately I've been thinking it would probably be a good idea to get rid of all the redundant summaries from world locations, and concentrate them on articles about the places within those locations. For instance, we could drop the [[Searsmont, ME]] episode summary since it's already on [[Victoria Pratt's home]]. Of course the exception would be locations that don't have a place per se, locations where we don't know the place, or locations that are merely mentioned. For instance, the summary on [[Atlanta, GA]] should probably stay, as should the summary on [[Lake Ramsey]]. It's a bit trickier when you get a place like [[Paris]] that has some history that should stay and some history that should go. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 08:20, 22 January 2008 (EST)
