I changed the cities to cronological order because it is more useful than alphabetical order. Wouldn't you say so? MB 19:16 Sep 23, 2002 (UTC)

ABSOLUTELY NOT! I think that if one looks at listings in any other article (for example, the States in the US, the counties in any of the states) they are listed alphabetically. People can't find things if they are listed in an un-obvious order, and chronologically is not obvious. (BTW, note how to spell "chronological"!) If you want to put the chronology in the "history" section, OK, but please, don't try to tell me that "it is more useful than alphabetical order" to arrange them chronologically. -- BRG 19:09 (UTC) Sept. 30

[edit] History Section Needs Expansion

The history section in this article needs much expansion. I will ne working on that in the following weeks...--(Wikipedian1234 (talk) 22:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC))

Some of the usable material is already in Frederick, Maryland. The appropriate thing for that would be to use a main-article pointer for the relevant sections. Tedickey (talk) 22:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

You are right, but the section could have a brief discription of history--(Wikipedian1234 (talk) 22:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC))

sure - a synposis is the normal setting for a main-article pointer. There are probably other subtopics unrelated to Frederick-the-city, which likely would be covered in depth "here" Tedickey (talk) 23:04, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
