 Hello, |
Looking for reviews
guys I just added a lot of links to the Geography sidebar, Human geography and Geography topics templates, can some of you check to see if it is appropriate or should I continue adding links. I personally think that these templates should have all the branches of geography that there are articles of (my limit is just the articles with titles "Something geography") (not the human geography one for those outside it of course) and therefore should add their respective links to the templates Atakes Ris (talk) 12:18, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Proposed swapping Vital article level 1 Human history with vital article level 2 Geography.

One of your project's articles has been selected for improvement!
Hello, |
Policy question
At Indian Ocean, editors sometimes want to rename the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Gulf, perhaps because of a long-standing dispute over those names. I have been reverting those edits, not because I'm on one side or the other of the dispute, but just because we have to pick one and Persian Gulf seems to be the quasi-official name on Misplaced Pages.
Are my reverts consistent with policy? Can anyone cite policy saying so? Any other advice? Thanks, Mgnbar (talk) 21:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Possibly go through the subject article's talk page, including its archives, or the same for Persian Gulf naming dispute? I made a small attempt at the former, but gave up. —DocWatson42 (talk) 10:08, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Mgnbar: You're welcome. ^_^ DocWatson42 (talk) 12:48, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Guideline for the layout of geography articles, especially settlements?
Greetings and felicitations. Is there are guideline for the general layout of geography-related articles, especially settlements? I tend to see lede; name etymology, when present; history; geography (with climate as a subsection); and then things like economy and government/politics. Is this correct? —DocWatson42 (talk) 09:50, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
