== United States section ==
Someone recently added a second United States section near the top of the article, in addition to the United States section that already appeared with all the other countries. I compared the information in the new section with the information that was already in the article and found that there were no substantive differences between the two sections. On top of that, the original section was much better documented with citations. (The new section was just lifted verbatim from a different website, and that website had no citations.)
For that reason, I deleted the new section in its entirety.
(Enough said, but I'll add that it is confusing to have two redundant sections, as a reader will need to spend extra time to verify that one section doesn't add useful information that the other section didn't have. Having redundant sections also increases the likelihood that they will eventually contain conflicting information. And finally, there is no justification for having a United States section outside of the already existing list of countries.)
