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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Re article titles

edit

I just wanted to point out(and I might be wrong, but) that from what I have seen typically articles for communities don't need a county as part of the title, unless it will be confused with another community of the same name in a different county. For example, it is Portland, Maine, not "Portland, Cumberland County, Maine". Now hypothetically, if there was a Portland in York County, Maine, then having the county name would be needed. 331dot (talk) 07:19, 16 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi 331dot, thanks for the suggestion. I don't know exactly what the guidelines are when it comes to naming communities from one state to another, but in my experiences looking at census data, it like a very rare occurrence for there to be two communities with the same name in a state. However, the pages I'm creating have all been in regards to townships, which seem to have different naming requirements, possibly based on a county level, rather than state? Either way, there can be multiple townships with the same name in a single state, just for example, there are four Butler Townships in Pennsylvania. That was the reason I initially included the county name in the title. However, I'm finding that there are far more unique names than repetitive ones, so I appreciate your suggestion, I believe I will start limiting including the county name to cases where there are multiple townships with the same name. I appreciate the help, I'm new to this, and I was kind of surprised there were still gaps to be filled in when it comes to U.S. geography on the site (even though they're relatively tiny gaps). I'm happy to fill in what I can, but it's been a learning curve! Ragazzi3 (talk) 08:21, 16 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

The article Starbuck Township, Bottineau County, North Dakota has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

An area with a population of only 32 does not seem notable enough to warrant it's own article.

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.
