replies: text: Great work so far on the Ecovillage Wikipage! Your additions to the characteristics are very insightful and beautifully written. It allows the reader to gain a better understanding of the lifestyle within Ecovillages. If you could maybe find examples of successful Ecovillages to contribute it may make for a more well-rounded overview of this way of life. Keep up the Great Work! :) DonGabrieli04 (talk) 15:35, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

message: "Eco-town" is redirected to ecovillage. However, the UK government initiative of a series of new "eco-towns" is very different from the definition of Gilman and the rest of the article. See the "Eco-Towns Prospectus" of the UK Department of Communities and Local Government. Should eco-town have its own article? Tolleranza 12:21, 2007 Jan 14 (UTC)
:There already is an article on Eco municipalities, which, I believe was the original term and is commonly used both in Northern Europe and in North America. Sunray (talk) 06:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Eco-towns

message: Given the wealth of articles on sustainable villages (ecocity-article, sustainable city-article, ecopolis-article and ecovillage-article), a simplification needs to be done.
As it is clear that "ecovillage" deals around smaller eco-projects, the article might be best renamed to "sustainable neighbourhood". It might then fit next to the "sustainable city"-article, which is to deal with the larger (city-wide) projects.
Tell us what you think on this page.
If approved, we can reduce the amount of articles (as most are unnecessairy/confusing).

replies: text: I agree with Ryandwayne that ecovillages and "sustainable neighbourhoods" are not the same thing. I also am opposed to merging eco-municipalities with sustainable neighbourhoods. I'm not at all sure what a "sustainable neighbourhood" is, but ecovillages and eco-municipalities are both well-defined and need to remain as distinct articles.

replies: text:  The problem with titling an ecovillage as a city or sustainable neighborhood is that ecovillages very commonly attract and rely much closer on communal methodologies of sustaining themselves than sustainable neighborhoods.  This means the whole point and description of the article changes.  A sustainable neighborhood is somewhat like a politically correct term for something when people don't want to come right out and say it's a commune.  Since the term ecocommune wasn't ever really coined, the term ecovillage took it's place.  They are too different to be comapred together in my opinion and much too different to be merged up the hierarchy as a sustainable city (as the plans specifically resonate as never going above a certain number of people). -Moocats (talk) 18:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to "Sustainable neighbourhood" 

message: In a new section, it should be noted that the setting up of sustainable neighbourhoods is especially attractive to certain movements. These include the Survivalist communities (due to their aligning to the self-sufficient nature of sustainable neighbourhoods) and Hippie/New Age-movements (see the Freetown Christinia-movement).

message: I removed this entry:
Supertech Eco Village
A residential project is launched by Supertech Limited at Noida Extension in association with PropertyDiscount.in by the name of Supertech Eco Village.
However, I don't see any suitable article to place the text, perhaps a new article called List of ecovillages could be created for it ?
