Talk:Rodney, Mississippi

Anyone who wishes to help.
Fell free to help out with my article anyway you can. I really need some pictures if anyone knows of a good place.

Rewrite
I am considering doing a significant update/rewrite of this article. Notes, concerns, or objections are welcome, Rjjiii  (talk) 21:19, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The NRHP template should be removed (the article is about a populated place). Magnolia677 (talk) 22:05, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * That is a good point. I've begun drafting here, and am merging in your improvements: User:Rjjiii/sandbox6 Rjjiii  (talk) 06:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Ghost town?
Secondary sources describe the area as a "ghost town". The lead currently uses "unincorporated community", but I think that gives a stronger indication of a human presence and community than the sources support. Is the concern that various meanings of "ghost town" could give the wrong impression that the area is uninhabited? (This would be false as several homes or camps on stilts near the bayou are clearly still in use.) If "ghost town" is too ambiguous because it can mean uninhabited or largely abandoned, we could just spell it out "a largely abandoned town" and optionally wikilink that to ghost town.
