This seems to be one of those tricky subjects where things aren't always the same in Spanish as they are in English - this reference article looks to be quite helpful.

I see a lot of people learning English use the article 'the' when it should not be used, it is hard to explain, also. - Maria-Russell, Jan 17, 2012

I especially appreciated the information about a geographic name, when modified by an adjective, needs the article. Muchas gracias por el información!

Yes, it was a pretty comprehensive list. Thanks for posting. I like the examples of el señor XXX,etc. Most English speakers don't catch that the titles señor, señora, etc. are not capitalized, like we do Mr., Mrs., unless they are abbreviated. - 0074b507, Jan 17, 2012
