955:-- I looked at two articles on South Asians, who only completed high school education. For pre-1850 scientists, I do not think that relevant degrees were available, as most univerities mainly taught a classical syllabus. I am however aware that Robert Plot taught chemistry at Oxford in the 17th century and Black at Edinburgh in the 18th. One of those I read about was a brilliant mathematician who was given a Cambridge Fellowship. The problem is probably one of where to draw the boundary. 994:. This is way too vague and also confusing now the idea that "Traditional higher education means a university masters degree". As recent as 50 years ago when I was at Oxford there were very many academics with the highest honours, such as Fellow of the Royal Scoiety, who only had a first degree (although to confuse matters that is a MA). There are still a few, although possibly not in science. -- 804:
mentioned by the nominator. Having a university degree is a new-fangled fad, which only caught on in the 20th century (or possibly in the late 19th-century). The traditional route is not having a degree (masters or otherwise), but diligently applying a good brain and being self-taught. (Having piles

I'd say between 5% and 10% are not cities. Also remember that by using the title of city, editors are discouraged from adding other members to the category so we don't know how many there may be. In any case, the number of non city settlements is not the issue, the fact that they are there is the

by non-defining characteristic; seems like the underlying point of this is probably closer to either "scientists who should be taken with a grain of salt because they weren't properly educated" or "scientists who prove that education isn't really important" than to grouping people on an
561:-- This is the English WP, so that we should use an English term for it. The nom could only be considered if the article on the House was renamed first. There is no reason why the Afghan name could not appear in a headnote on the category page, along with a link to the 270:
A municipality is an administrative entity composed of a clearly defined territory and its population and commonly denotes a city, town, or village, or a small grouping of them. A municipality is typically governed by a mayor and a city council or municipal

In fact, this category could be seen as a bit of an end-run around that salting; I am not suggesting any bad faith on your part, but there is a lot of overlap between the two categories. -- 162:'location' does not work as it could include states and counties; 'settlements' is the correct level since that includes cities, towns, villages, etc. Practically, however, how many/which subcats in this buildings and structures category are not cities? 369:
both. For this reason, I am fairly sure that it is standard practice to refer to both "cities" or a "counties" as "municipalities." If the idea is to exclude counties, then we should use "settlement," or maybe "community"-- or even leave it as it is.
134:. At present, this category is not appropriately named since it does not only contain cities and I don't believe that we need to create parallel trees for towns, villages, unincorporated communities and any other type of place. I'd suggest a rename to 1064:. Depopulating a category before asking editors to make a decision on the viability of a category amounts to pre-empting consensus, and it places an unfair barrier in the path of editors who want to consider whether to keep or delete the category. -- 750:
Traditional higher education means a university masters degree which is the minimum criteria to get a job as a scientists in a research institute. The category is for the people who gained fame as scientists, but lacked that criteria.

Correct, how you perceive this is based on where you live. I live in an unincorporated community which is not a city and not a municipality but it can be considered as a settlement based on how we use that in categories.

I live in a township, but I still manage to know what to fill in when an application asks for my city / state / ZIP code. "Municipality" or "settlement" might be more correct, but also more awkward and unfamiliar.
227:"Settlement" would be suitable, or "locality", or "municipality" if that's a term that would be used in the US. "City or town", while not ideal, is also an option. I've seen all of those in use in different trees. 397: 143: 92: 513:. The Press uses the Afghan name. I find it confusing to use a translated name, and think we should also use the Afghan name. If we were to use a translated name, I suggest we should use something like: 191:
the only non-cities I noticed were New England style towns and there are not many those. In any case, 'Settlements' covers that towns of all kinds throughout all US State settlement categories.

But that is not a city so the category name is simply not correct. If your township was listed in a category like this, I would be correct in removing it since it is not a city.
