geo.states no longer working?

I'm new to YQL, and trying to implement some very simple queries, like a list of states, but that seems to be broken in the console:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=...th%20America%22

If that link doesn't work, search for 'states' under data tables from the console (http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/), click on geo.states, then click on the Test button.

Am I using an outdated datasource? API? Since it's in the yahoo console, I'm hoping that it will continue to be supported.

Thanks,

Tac

    The geo.states table requires a country name, code, or WOEID to be provided as place in the where clause. North America is a continent name. The following request will return the states in the United States:

  • Thanks! Is that something you can fix in the console? Since it's the example, it looks like it doesn't work.

    Here's what I mean:

    The example query is erroneous (it was copied from the example query for geo.countries). We will fix the example query in a future release of GeoPlanet. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
