A plea to Daily Kos diary writers: please don't tag diaries about "
Washington D.C." as "
Washington"!
I've noticed a lot of diaries that have been mistagged causing clutter when I want to read diary entries that focus on Washington state issues. These should be correctly tagged with keyword Washington.
However, too many people are tagging diary entries about our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. as simply Washington, when instead they should be differentiating them by tagging them with Washington D.C.
I've seen the following alternative tags also used:
Washington DC
D.C.
DC
Another common mistake is when people use "Washington, D.C.", which gets interpreted as two tags Washington and D.C. because of the comma.
It would of course be nice if people settled on one of these four variations.
At the end of the day, we need to remember that Washington state is not Washington D.C., and we need to keep that in mind when tagging diary entries.
This Washington state Kossack thanks you!
