Talk:City

Alston says this type of thing shouldn't be here, it should be in Wiktionary? Is this correct? It's very good though ;)
I've decided to redirect "City" to "Central Business District", because the latter word is the proper definition of the area.

(from JustAnyone) I thought it would be good to have a set of information about a city that includes how things work.
I'm surprised that in a list such as list of cities in Oklahoma it seems that any place in the US with a population of more than 1,000 is a city; anything less is a town. In the UK somewhere with only 1,000 people would be called a village. Is this nomenclature correct? Shantavira 18:26, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
What's up with the link to the toki pona 'pedia at the bottom of the page? It doesn't seem to be working too well...who is running that 'pedia anyways? — Braaropolis | Talk 05:11, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
- Not sure of the details, but according to recent mailing list discussion toki pona is now being treated as a lesser pedia than others. Klingon is also in this "lesser" category. "Proper" wikipedias are not to link to these "lesser" ones. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 12:05, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Perhaps a merger or disambiguation or alternative use is in order, see the City and The_City_(book_by_Maximilian_Weber). --Piotrus 10:11, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I've made The City a disambiguation page, and added appropiate see alsos to this page. I think everyone should be able to find what they are looking for with this set-up. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 12:05, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I removed the text below from the opening of the article. I honestly don't understand what it means or what it refers to. older≠wiser 13:01, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Size of a city
The fact that you don't understand something does not mean it is not worthwhile for you to search. Look up http://www.intbau.org/essay5.htm and you might find some sense in that definition.

Modern Conceptions
The "Modern Conceptions" section is not entirely credible. Who is taking this approach? Is this how most people conceive of cities, or is it a theory developed and held by a few academics? The entire section is written in the passive voice, and that's the lazy way to try to be authoritative without actually citing any authorities. More fundamentally, does this particular theory of urban function/development belong in the "Cities" article, or does it deserve its own article (i.e., "The x Theory of Urban Function")?
