Errors in In the news

• Los Angeles, California, USA? Nobody would use all three. Its sufficient to say Los Angeles, California or even just Los Angeles. Charles Stewart (talk) 08:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • And the fact that the British awards are simply listed are occuring in London makes me feel that we should Just use Los Angeles. Charles Stewart (talk) 08:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
    • But the BAFTA story mentions that they are British awards, it seems unnecessary to then mention that they took place in Britain. A better comparison might be Accra, Ghana further down. ReadingOldBoy (talk) 08:46, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
      • Who the fuck doesn't know where Los Angeles is? You honestly expect people to confuse a city of 4+ million with some village of goat farmers in Chile? Charles Stewart (talk) 08:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
        • Nope, just pointing out that the comparison with the BAFTA piece didn't stand up and that Accra, Ghana was a better one. ReadingOldBoy (talk) 08:52, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
          • Well you're wrong. Charles Stewart (talk) 08:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
            • Righto. ReadingOldBoy (talk) 08:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
              • No, he isn't wrong, for exactly the reasons given. We know that it is London, in Britain. And Accra is the capital city of a nation with a population of 23,000,000- a politically more important city than LA, yet we still say where that is. J Milburn (talk) 10:59, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
