 Hello, |
Does WikiProject Geography cover all town and village articles?
I've encountered many articles that fall under the scope of WP:WikiProject Cities (such as town, village, and city articles) that have also been added to WikiProject Geography (see Talk:Ferdows and Talk:Taheriyeh, towns and villages in Iran, and Talk:Lesnoye Ukolovo, a rural locality in Russia). However, the inclusion of these types of articles in WP:Geography is rare, and most town and city articles haven't been added to WP:Geography. My question is: do these articles actually belong at WP:Geography, or do they not? If they do, what criteria should be met for, say, a village article to be included in WP:Geography? And if they don't, then they could be removed from the project. Nythar (💬-🍀) 07:56, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

- Cities is a subset of human geography. Any article which deals with a populated place should be included in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Cities. Any article which deals primarily with the physical geography of a populated place should also be included in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Geography. My two bits.

- That makes sense. I had been wondering why numerous articles were added to both WikiProjects because it didn't make sense to me why we'd include regular WP:Cities articles in WP:Geography; it seemed a bit excessive. Nythar (💬-🍀) 05:59, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello, |
Looking for reviews
guys I just added a lot of links to the Geography sidebar, Human geography and Geography topics templates, can some of you check to see if it is appropriate or should I continue adding links. I personally think that these templates should have all the branches of geography that there are articles of (my limit is just the articles with titles "Something geography") (not the human geography one for those outside it of course) and therefore should add their respective links to the templates Atakes Ris (talk) 12:18, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- side note: all my edits are based on pre-existing wikipedia articles (see Outline of geography and Category: Geography) and aims to remove the inconsistencies in the templates Atakes Ris (talk) 13:12, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Lowercasing of all tectonic plates discussed in a relisted RM

Proposed swapping Vital article level 1 Human history with vital article level 2 Geography.
I have proposed swapping vital article level 1 Human history with vital article level 2 Geography. This would make geography a level 1 vital article. Please join the discussion here if you are interested. GeogSage 20:47, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello, |
Policy question
At Indian Ocean, editors sometimes want to rename the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Gulf, perhaps because of a long-standing dispute over those names. I have been reverting those edits, not because I'm on one side or the other of the dispute, but just because we have to pick one and Persian Gulf seems to be the quasi-official name on Misplaced Pages.
Are my reverts consistent with policy? Can anyone cite policy saying so? Any other advice? Thanks, Mgnbar (talk) 21:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
