List of municipalities of Connecticut by population
The list satisfies the criteria of being useful, comprehensive and well-constructed. It has a nice lead section and images (even though mainly cosmetic). Data on the list is well-sourced. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Polaron (talk • contribs).


 * Oppose The lead contains one-sentence paragraphs and isn't particularly easy to follow (esp. the third paragraph). Explain "coterminous" please. Your main source seems to be the 2005 U.S. Census. It shouldn't be hard to find that online and provide a full citation in your References section. The items you have in your References section should really be in a Notes section. And, yes, the pictures are completely cosmetic and IMO don't belong here. A map would be a more appropriate image, but there's no requirement to have a picture. Colin°Talk 12:57, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose on a technicality: Those are "towns", not "municipalities," even the lead is quite clear clear as to that, and the "base" list is at List of towns in Connecticut. As an aside, I recommend making the table sortable. Circeus 04:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't the two lists be merged. There doesn't seem much point in having both, with so little difference (entry-criteria-wise) between them. Colin°Talk 07:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Just pointing out that boroughs and cities that are only a section of a town are included in the list as well. There is also the quirk that all places in Connecticut are towns (yes, even Hartford is technically a town). We can definitely merge the list if that will help. --Polaron | Talk 12:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * In the end, I have to agree to that. You can just add a "region" column, and keep the boroughs,and with the table sortable... It works fine. Circeus 16:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
