From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Batavia, New Hampshire

• Batavia, New Hampshire is a community in the state of New Hampshire.

MapQuest and Google never heard of it, and neither have I...

and neither has New Hampshire

[edit] Dicdef removed

Per the style guide ([[]]) I removed the dictionary definitions (dicdefs):

• Batavia, the Latin name for the Netherlands, derived from the Batavians

Something roughly corresponding to the so-called "dicdef" was restored because it is the primary meaning of this term from which ALL other uses (including the following ones) are derived. Feel free to modify the phrasing as needed, but this needs to be in there. You wouldn't have an article about "Athens" and then go on to discuss the town in Georgia without mentioning its namesake.
