A suggestion

Perhaps this article should begin by mentioning which country it is referring to?—Nat Krause 09:37, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

Yes, there were whigs in the U.K., of course. "Whig Party" should be a disambiguation page, with the current article living at Whig Party (United States) or U.S. Whig Party perhaps. --Larry Sanger 00:25, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
