Which, if any, is the ideal form among these examples?
1). [[Madrid]] redirects to [[Madrid, Spain]]. For other uses,
see [[Madrid (disambiguation)]]
2). [[Paris, France]] redirects to [[Paris]]. For other uses,
see [[Paris (disambiguation)]]
3). [[Athens, Greece]] redirects to [[Athens]]; disambiguation at
the bottom of the page. (A note of irony here: Athens, Greece
has received a less substantial article than [[Athens, Ohio]]).
