Talk:List of cities and towns

This list needs to be reorganized as it states in the intro paragraph (in alphabetical order). Also, when listing the routes that the city/town lies in between, the routes should be listed in sequential order. I'd fix both things myself, but I don't have the time, unfortunately. --TMF ^{T - C} 20:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

The title doesnt include everything, only towns and cities, there isnt just towns and cities in the list. Sites and settlements is a term we use in Geography and it covers all of them, whats wrong with using that? Super-Max 18:39, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I propose moving it to the more suitable title of List of settlements by name and "people not fluent in english wont understand" is not an excuse for keeping it the same. Super-Max 18:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

The original name tells the main idea of the list; the current name would include also areas like The Underground and Mystery Zone, which differ from cities and towns a lot. It has been like that for a long time, why make it different? (Did you BTW even ask the permission to move it from an admin, since there is really no need to do that?)

1.Settlement means a place where people live (have settled) so that would discount The Underground and Mystery Zone, towns and cities does not include everything, the title should be representative of the article, not just a part.

2. The article is about settlements, so the title should be settlements

3. Tradition is no excuse to halt improvement.

4. Im sorry but you cant use foreign language as an excuse, the correct term is settlement, and this is an english speaking wiki, so we should use the correct and proper english terms.

5. You dont have to ask permision to move a page, all users can do it, otherwise it would be an admin only function Super-Max 18:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

1. People live also on Routes, so aren't they then settlements?

2. Related to 1.

3. And the reason to this talk is about if this is an improvement.

4. You said that already, I didn't reply to that, that means I agree

5. You have to, if it's an important one, as far as I know.

1. If you look at settlement hierarchy there is a set number of people per km required for an area to be designated a settlment

3. using the corect term instead of a wrong one is an improvement

4. ok then

5. cities and towns going to settlements isnt really important, there are more serious things Super-Max 18:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
