Talk:AY Honors/State Study/Answer Key

Structure of This Honor

I wonder if this honor should be structured in a manner similar to Christian Citizenship, where we have a template, and then each state has its own page. The "main" page of the honor could list all the states with links to answers for that state. In both honors, the requirements are identical, but the answers for each place vary. --Jomegat 21:29, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

I see the work you've done and I believe this is the best way to do it. The columns with the different names of states is excellent and will prevent clutter from the main page of the honor. w126jep 22:07, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

Thanks. If/when we decide to include the conference honors in the counting logic, the pages for each state (and the template) will continue to set the secondary=true flag in the honor_header, and the main page of the honor will not. That way, this one will be counted once instead of 52 times (main page, 50 states, and the template). --Jomegat 22:13, 8 August 2014 (EDT)

District of Columbia

I do not believe the District of Columbia belongs here. The honor specifically deals with those territories which have been deemed states (have a star on the flag, represented in the Senate, etc.). If the District of Columbia is included, we might as well include Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands. None of these are states and the honor deals specifically with states. While D.C. is inside the continental U.S. and is the capital of the country, it still does not qualify as a state. Any thoughts before I delete the entry? --w126jep 11:40, 2 September 2014 (EDT)

I was thinking the same thing, but left it alone. I'd like to hear from JadeDragon before removing it. --Jomegat 12:50, 2 September 2014 (EDT)
