Category:Villages
This category seems redundant to Category:Cities. -- Prince Kassad 08:48, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, well a village isn't a city. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:02, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * True. I'm in favor of deleting both categories, but if we're to have one, then I think one will do: merge them into Municipalities or something. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 17:12, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * What about cities that aren't municipalities? —CodeCat 17:35, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Like what? That's why I linked to [[municipality]], which we define as "A district with a government that typically encloses no other governed districts; a borough, city, or incorporated town or village". Is that wrong? Or are you thinking of things like New York City, which has five boroughs? I think New York is considered a municipality also (i.e., the "typically" in our definition belongs there). &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 18:13, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I think he means unincorporated settlements, which are not covered by the above definition. -- Prince Kassad 18:16, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah! So maybe Settlements? That sounds funny, though, to my ears, as applied to big cities. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 18:18, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I was referring to the fact that one city might be split up into several municipalities. London for example is commonly held to be a lot more than just the 'City of London'. 'Municipality' has a legal definition in some countries so using such a term would be confusing if used to refer to any settlement. Settlement seems like a better choice. —CodeCat 18:39, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Additional: Human settlement defines settlement as essentially 'any place with a name that has people living there permanently'. It specifically includes cities, towns and villages. —CodeCat 18:42, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * See also [[]], above. &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 18:27, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
