Housing Developments as Ghost Towns?

So having always heard that ghost towns were former towns, I've noticed a proliferation of former housing developments are starting to pop-up as "ghost towns". The one for Airport_Villa,_Delaware is the latest to catch my eye to make me wonder why it would ever be included as a ghost town. Just my opinion, but I can't imagine it would. If that were the case, someone could start a housing development inside an established city today, abandon the development, and it would count as a "ghost town". There needs to be a line drawn somewhere, so where is it?Superman7515 (talk) 16:07, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello

Hi I’m new DannonCool (talk) 23:55, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Requesting a reassessment of Scovern Hot Springs, California, it would be appreciated. It was a small hot springs resort town and is now a ghost town, with little remaining after a 1971 California wildfire. I improved the article from a three sentence stub-class to a full article today. Thanks in advance! Netherzone (talk) 00:36, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

There is a discussion about a ghost town at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tomtown, Kentucky. It would be helpful if members of this Wikiproject can participate.--DreamLinker (talk) 13:07, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
