Guideline start

I started a sketch of a guideline, adapted from the section headings from Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/Guideline. Please feel free to adjust, improve, detail. --Qyd (talk) 03:08, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Citizens?

Is it appropriate to include lists of notable citizens in articles on communities? If so, where should this information be included in the article?--Ducio1234 (talk) 21:48, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why no Etymology section? (Origin of the name of the town)

The structure for USA cities includes that topic; why does this one not? WP:City structure

   Etymology If there is sufficient material on the origin and meaning of the settlement's name to justify a section or subsection header, then it may be titled as Etymology (most common), Toponymy, or Name (least common). Etymology is a branch of linguistics that deals with origin and historical development of names and reconstructing their meaning where possible. It may be a distinct section rather than dealing with the name within the history section. When there is a section, it is either a sub-section of History or a distinct section placed above the History section.
