I'm of the opinion that things like this should almost always
be in the Talk page. Having them in the article looks tacky and
unprofessional. Only things that directly affect "customers"
should be in the article, I'd say.
I agree and have already stated my reasons why I think WikiProject tags in
articles are a bad idea at;
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_U.S._States
I've also taken the liberty of moving each state, province and department
WikiProject tag to their respective talk pages.
Now the only ones I know of that still exist in their articles are on about a
thousand (at least) of the earlier US county articles imported by Ram-Man.
However, Ram-Man already has this on his ToDo list if anybody would like to
help.

Aside: Could somebody rerun the most active stats again? I'm sure Ram-Man has
leap-froged a couple dozen other users since the numbers were last done.
Hell, in a few months, he might even pass me up (esp. if he switches to
creating articles on each US city after he is done creating articles on each
US county -- madness).
