I'd think a majority of states at least have the potential for this conflict; would a better solution be to create the pages for the discussion of high school quizbowl as '''Missouri High School Quizbowl''' or something of the sort?--[[User:Fred Morlan|Fred Morlan]] 00:35, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | I'd think a majority of states at least have the potential for this conflict; would a better solution be to create the pages for the discussion of high school quizbowl as '''Missouri High School Quizbowl''' or something of the sort?--[[User:Fred Morlan|Fred Morlan]] 00:35, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | ||

Perhaps we should include a note about the way to distinguish a college from the state it is in; for example, the page called Missouri for is distinguished from the page called Missouri (state). This seems like a reasonable convention I think we could include, though I'm not sure how many other state/college pairs have this ambiguity. Alex Dzurick 03:39, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
