Born in Georgia edit

I don't know what the standard format is on wikipedia, but shouldn't it state that he was born in Decatur, Georgia (USA)? Or should the reader really have to follow through to figure out that there is not Decatur in Georgia (the country)? 128.178.14.87 (talk) 09:13, 23 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Honestly I don't think it's likely to confuse very many people who've read that far. He was a professor at Princeton, which I assume most readers will have heard of and know is in the United States. The next sentence says he got his PhD at Chicago (similar comments). I suppose all that could be true and he could be from the former Soviet republic of Georgia — but it's not the first thing you'd think of.

Just the same, if someone wants to make it "Decatur, Georgia, United States", I suppose that's OK with me. --Trovatore (talk) 20:23, 23 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
