Counties in township titles
I noticed that back in 2008 you added counties into article title for townships in several states, with edit summary (Included county name for consistency). This was probably before WP:USPLACE was settled, right? I think it suggests (strongly) that the county should not be there unless needed for disambiguation. Do you know whether fixing these to the recommended format has been discussed? Looks like it would be a lot of work, but possibly amenable to automation. Dicklyon (talk) 03:01, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually I still feel very strongly, for several reasons, that the county name should in fact be included in township article names. Omnedon (talk) 04:19, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Please say more. What reasons?  More than "consistency"?  Specific to townships as opposed to other populated places?  Dicklyon (talk) 04:26, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * This was all dealt with in great detail years ago. Why bring it up again now? Omnedon (talk) 05:38, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Not to re-start the whole discussion, but one very simple reason for this is that in US states, townships are subdivisions of counties (just as counties are subdivisions of states). It's not just a question of consistency. Omnedon (talk) 05:42, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm bringing it up to find out if it was dealt with; I only know WP:USPLACE. Can you find where else I should be looking maybe? Dicklyon (talk) 05:31, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I found the conversation at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)/Archives/2011/August which sounds to me like the consensus was not to include the county. But it's confusing, and perhaps not the last word.  Anyway, it's newer that what you did in 2008, so I'm wondering if the issue got settled, so I'll know whether to work on it.

Proposed deletion of Toll Gate Heights, Indiana


The article Toll Gate Heights, Indiana has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Searching for 'Toll Gate Heights' brings up no significant coverage, and the obvious alternate form of 'Tollgate Heights' brings up only a newspaper mention in a list of neighborhoods containing apartment buildings.

Civil township maps - How to do this?
Hello, You created several of the Civil Township pages for the state of Iowa back in the 2007/2008 time frame. I am in the process of trying to add "infobox settlement" information to other townships. I would really like to include something like the SVG maps that you created but it isn't clear to me how to go about that. Would you be willing to share the details? There are 1599 civil townships in Iowa, so clearly an automated map generatio process is needed. Thanks! GrandpaDave (talk) 01:08, 1 December 2022 (UTC)


 * My apologies for the delay. I used some custom scripts to create those maps, and might be able to do so again... I'll check into it. I do still have the code. It uses freely-available USGS data. Omnedon (talk) 15:57, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
