Wikipedia:Location, location, location!
 | This is an essay on not saying something's "located" somewhere when you could just say it is there. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: There's at least one editor who may become homicidal if he reads one more time that "X is a Y located in Z" instead of just "X is a Y in Z". |
