Other way around?[edit]

The present categorization (as of September 11, 2016) is backwards, right? 'Establishments in Virginia' is now given as a subcategory for pre-Civil War (pre-statehood) 'Establishments in West Virginia' years. But pre-Civil War establishments in West Virginia should be separated out, called e.g. 'nnnn Establishments in West Virginia', and subcategorized as 'nnnn Establishments in Virginia' as well, right? Otherwise, as of now, there are many articles here in this category that are not and never were establishments in West Virginia. Doprendek (talk) 15:06, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
