Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Urban studies and planning/Assessment

IMHO, the "Related projects" part contains some mistake. "Two other templates can be used to replace

, as appropriate:", and then "planning" is mentioned again, but followed by a project picture related to Architecture (not planning). Sorry if I misunderstood something, but I only used common logic. --Futurano 13:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

My first questions on assessment

I've been bold in my assessment and removed our project banner from several Christian communities and two Asian neigborhoods under J. IMHO, all those articles lack their publisized and "theorytized" "stories of success" in regard of urban development. I think the best way of underlining this aspect would be new sections or links in intentional community and alike.

However, I chose to preserve the importance banner for Jonestown, as it used to be a very publisized case. Should we keep it? Please comment.

As no objections appeared, I've been bold and deleted that page from our project. --Futurano 12:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Also I'd suggest setlling some narrower rules for assessment within this project. E.g., how many particular neighborhoods of advanced urban development should we have? Dozen, hundred? And what about successful projects, buildings, city concepts? Any narrower criteria of importance? Are there any well-recognized urban planning awards? "Counterawards" (something like "Europe's worst-developed/most-messed metropolitan area")? Wishes, --Futurano 10:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

I ran into more serious controversy during further assessment. I removed several articles re: "central business districts" of several cities, and a large-scale question came to my mind: do city-geography articles belong to our project? I mean they describe not the urban studies itself, but the SUBJECT for those studies. So should we monitor and care everything under Category:Cities? Or, at least, articles on the world's largest metropolitan areas? What about several lists of largest metro areas and cities? After all, the severely disputed question on how to determine and measure "metropolitan areas" seems very relevant to me.

I'm going to read Urban studies thoroughly for this purpose, but also requesting help here.

On a related issue. How should we categorize the articles mentioned above? And, technically, can I mark categories with our assessment template, like I do with articles? Thanks --Futurano 14:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Megalopolis article

Suggest that Megalopolis be advanced from Start status to C-class status. Thank you for reviewing and actioning if there is consensus. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:27, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
