It seems to me Berlin as a city should be a separate topic from Berlin as a state, despite the conflation in the wikipedia article.
-
Is there any counter arguments here or should I do the split now? I'd like to add containedby values to the state, but not the city.
-
I don't know much more about Berlin than I just learned from reading the WP article, but from the article it sounds like the city and the state are the same entity, similar to the way Washington DC is both a city and federal district. If this is actually the case, they should continue to share the topic. If they are distinct (but coterminous) entities, spliting might make sense.

This bit from the German embassy in Washington makes me think the topic shouldn't be split:
Berlin is both a city and one of Germany's 16 state, so its government must play two roles.
-
If no one disagrees with Jeff, can we get the split flag removed?
-
Yes, you can removed the split flag. The government and territory of Berlin is the capital and state at the same time.
