Panama is usually considered to lie entirely within North America[1]. The Central America regional designation is therefore unnecessary, since Central America is a proper subset of North America. If we keep it anyway, I think we should change the name of this category to something like "Graticules by region". --starbird 09:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
