I am continuing my attempt at standardising all list of municipalities. Specifically, and with the help of many others, my goal is to have high quality featured lists of municipalities in all states, provinces and territories in North America. This will be the 14th such nomination and I believe this article is a complete and comprehensive list of all municipalities of Rhode Island.
I have modeled this list off of other recently promoted lists such as Montana and Alabama so it should be of the same high standard. I've incorporated suggestions from recent reviews to make this nomination go as smoothly as possible. I hope I caught them all. Please let me know if there is anything else that can be added to perfect this list. Thanks again for your input. Mattximus (talk) 21:13, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley
[edit]- " 5 historic counties which have no government." This sounds a bit odd. Maybe "which have no municipal functions as the state has no county level of government" - and delete same comment below.
- Done, I've modified the second comment so that it refers back to the first one, while adding some new information. Does that work?
- What is the difference between a city and a town? Are there any differences in powers between them and is the definition a USA one or specific to Rhode Island?
- Reworded to show they are interchangeable. The difference lies in their type of government.
- "cities provide services commonly granted to county governments in other states." What does this mean - that cities provide services which are provided at state level to towns?
- Cities provide services which are normally given to counties in other states. I'm not sure how to reword this one.
- An explanation of the different forms of government would be helpful.
- I added a large section dealing with the types of government, hopefully well-sourced. I think this is an excellent comment, something I should have added before nominating.
- Looks fine - these queries are minor. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:27, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Dudley Miles, sorry it took so long to make your changes, I must have missed the ping telling me you had given me a review. Always appreciated, and I'm happy to make further recommended changes. Mattximus (talk) 20:32, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support and a couple of nit picks.
- "provide services commonly granted to county governments in other states" I would prefer "commonly performed by". Done
- "city or town manager that is generally appointed" I think "who is generally appointed" would sound better. Done Dudley Miles (talk) 11:06, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks again, all nit picks are very welcome. Mattximus (talk) 00:32, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
