Hi Zarcadia. I'm pretty sure people know where Maryland is. Well anyone here reading articles anyways. SlightSmile 23:28, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

@Slightsmile Maybe in the U.S. but outside probably/possibly not! Remember English-language Wikipedia is read by people in Britain, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa. States like California and Texas are universally known but Maryland is not. Zarcadia (talk) 01:19, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

I've always assumed people in Europe as well as Australia, NZ and most places pretty much know the American states and probably the provinces in Canada. Am I mistaken about that? SlightSmile 01:31, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Probably the 'famous' ones like California, New York (even that will cause confusion with NYC...), Alaska and Texas, may be known or recognizable to the non-US layman reader but the majority of the 50 states are not, I have an interest in geography and I could easily name more states than the average American high school student (I can name all 50) but I spend a lot of my time at work (working for a multinational) answering questions like "is Louisiana a city?" or "What state is Arizona in?" (I am the 'go to guy' for geography). Zarcadia (talk) 02:02, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

I'm surprised. I remember my father telling me there was a time people thought Japan was the capital of China but that was long ago. I knew a woman who never heard of WWII but she was from a less developed part of the world. Anyways it's good to meet you. SlightSmile 02:22, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
