settlements

Have you examined Settlements, Category:Settlements, Category:Settlements by region, and Category:Settlements in the United States among others. I am matching up to established naming patterns. Thanks Hmains 02:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind comments. I had looked over what was available and settlement seemed the most meaningful and available term. 'Population center' may not collectively mean city, town, village, neighborhood, etc. If you search WP for 'population center', you get Center of population (which is really not what we are after) among other things.

Memo to Me-What to do about these Census Designated Towns that are not actual towns?

Hoot Owl, Oklahoma - possibly reclassify as abandoned since it has no population and is not listed by the Oklahoma Almanac as a city, town, or unincorporated community.
Mule Barn, Oklahoma - possibily reclassify as abandoned since it has no population per the US Census and Oklahoma Almanac.
Oak Grove, Oklahoma - possibly reclassify as unincorporated community since that is how it is listed by the Oklahoma Almanac.
Liberty, Oklahoma - listed as a town by the Census Bureau but is in fact not a town but an unincorporated community. See Oklahoma Almanac-Oklahoma Municipal Government. Probably a CDP.

Hough, Oklahoma

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Hough, Oklahoma, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Wakita, OK-watertower.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Wakita, OK-watertower.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of Liberty, Oklahoma (disambiguation)

The article Liberty, Oklahoma (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Per WP:2DABS

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
