These are in clear actual usage. Just try searching each up on Groups. PseudoSkull (talk) 03:53, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Sigh. Okay fine, I'll cite them....... So that people won't doubt me. PseudoSkull (talk) 03:58, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Then add relevant citations, because searching "West Carolina" gets me a lot of "NFC West / Carolina", a good amount of " […] West. Carolina […] ", and a handful of usages that seriously, legitimately refer to West Carolina as an actual part of Carolina as a whole (western North Carolina (or > is that northern West Carolina, East Carolina is closer to me that "West" Carolina, Perhaps the territory between the Altamaha river and West Carolina in the north and east, difference between East and West "Carolina" BBQ sauce). —suzukaze (t・c) 04:00, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

East Virginia completely cited by the way. Now to move on. I'm putting a check by each one I do. PseudoSkull (talk) 04:25, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Is "East Virginia" never used to mean Virginia proper, i.e. the part of pre-Civil War Virginia that isn't West Virginia? Analogous would be the way Southern Ireland is sometimes used to mean the Republic of Ireland, i.e. the part of the island that isn't Northern Ireland. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 06:14, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure if the cites you added really attest it though. None of them simply use the term "East Virginia", they're all along the lines of "why isn't there an East Virginia if there's a West Virginia?" and seem kind of mention-y. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 07:07, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Those aren't mentions, though. They're used in sentences without quotations. I don't care what they're saying or asking. East Virginia is a proper noun, so how much less "mention-y" could you get anyway? PseudoSkull (talk) 16:01, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Plus, on the second book mention, if it feels a little better to you, two characters seem to have been having a small banter about whether or not an East Virginia existed, so the word "East Virginia" was actually said several times in the book. PseudoSkull (talk) 16:04, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Sigh. You want more, I'll give more. PseudoSkull (talk) 16:07, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
