I think (US) is fine.
I've tweaked the policy to have "states and provinces of English-speaking countries and their capital cities (if significant)". That gives scope to overlook some of those minor ones. |

I prefer "Dallas (United States)" or "Dallas (US)".
For state capitals I suggest "City (State)". "Boise", "Pierre", "Helena", etc. need some context. But I wonder if it would be better to amend our policy on place names. I don't think state capitals are especially important for a JE dictionary (unless they're major cities). |

My bad. (this falls under "other significant cities" though and should still be reinstated, I think)
Some of the state capitals might be a little obscure in terms of international importance but I don't have any issues with how the policy is currently worded and we're only looking at a total of 50 entries in total anyway. |

The capital of Texas is Austin, not Dallas.
Do we really want all US state capitals? A lot of them are quite small and not well known outside the US. |

I'm in favor of just "Dallas", I think.
a handful of our current US city entries look like this:
ニューヨーク New York
シアトル Seattle
ワシントンDC Washington, D.C. (United States)
ロサンゼルス Los Angeles
サンフランシスコ San Francisco
ホノルル Honolulu
リトルロック Little Rock
(I will add all US state capitals to jmdict if we can decide on this formatting) |
