User:Colourinthemeaning/Wikipedia Settlements

I propose a policy about settlements (can i do that?) and disputed territories. Anyone volunteer?

I suggest something along the lines of noting it being a settlement in the opening sentence and allowing the use of the terms 'city,' 'town,' 'suburb,' or 'village' but not 'neighborhood' because connotations that term and others may carry.
 * But what if it isn't a city, town, suburb, or village? Should we invent something rather than describing the reality? If that reality is distasteful then ignoring it would be counterproductive. --Robert
 * I just find it very ironic that my own neighborhood, or any that I can think of and look up, aren't described as a neighborhood on Wikipedia, but so many Israeli Settlements are. I don't have a problem with the term 'neighborhood' as long as it is not used exclusively to describe an area that may also be just as much a Settlement as it is a neighborhood. Also, unless there is some sort of neighborhood association or town council - the term neighborhood can be incredibly subjective, don't you agree?

I'm not sure what you mean, but as there is so much politics involved, maybe that is mixing up things. --Robertert (talk)
