So, I have kinda mixed feelings about this idea. My first feeling about this is that the information about culture should be in the country, region, or city guide. After all, culture is an important part of what you need to know when traveling to a place.

Second, I think that there is a place for culture guides that don't map directly to a geographical region.

I think we should try to map cultures to locales wherever possible. I think we should only have separate culture guides when:

• The culture spans so many geographical areas that it would be tedious to cover in each and every area.
• The culture is a minority culture with no specific geographical area attached.

So, I'd think that information about Catalan culture should go in the Catalonia guide, but maybe information about Gypsy (AKA Roma) culture might go in a separate Gypsy cultural guide, since its a culture spread all over Europe. Information about Asian immigrant culture in England may go in an British Asian culture guide, since it's a culture that's an important part of British life, but isn't localized to any one place.

This is probably what you're saying, though, Dhum Dhum.

I think my main worry is that we get to a point where we have two guides for any one place. Like, a Morocco guide, and a Moroccan culture guide.

Another possibility is having an Arab culture guide that provides a resource for someone working on the Morocco page; they can add relevant culture information there.

It's an interesting project. I tend to be pretty anal about keeping information pretty close to geographical points, though. Anyways, I guess I need to brood on this a while. --Evan 10:19, 7 Dec 2003 (PST)
