Wikipedia:Simple talk/Archive 104 Municipality categories Recap
This is what you are opposing. You seem to find it unnecessary to deal with the problem that things are put into categories which they do not belong to. The changes suggested would broaden the scope of the category to include places without their own administrative functions as well as the administrative divisions it already covers. Townships without their own local governments could correctly be included with the other towns and cities in a certain area. As it stands, if a community does not have it's own government structure, it can not be included with the other communities in that area. Municipality is based on political structure, settlements are based on geographic structure. You have provided no accepted evidence on how these changes would have a negative impact on the project. You have only stated these impacts exist without providing any explanation on what they are or how they would affect the project. You keep asking if we have not learned that some things should not be talked about on-wiki. Wiki-business should not be hidden from scrutiny except in matters of security and privacy.
