Talk:List of extinct U.S. counties by state

Nonenmac, I don't really see the need for two lists of extinct U.S. counties; this is a topic that is always thought of by state, and moreover this new article does not credit in the history those who contributed to 'List of extinct U.S. counties'. I suggest you cut and paste the content of this article as your revision (which I think is an improvement) to 'List of extinct U.S. counties' and make this page a redirect.--Pharos 01:30, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I agree that listing by state is more meaningful (at least to me). I didn't want to undo the work that was done on the alphabetical listing, in case someone wants it that way. But since at least one other person agrees with listing by state, and unless I hear agrguments to the contrary, I'll do what you suggest -- maintaining two lists would be a lot of extra work anyway.
