Love your energy on this new plan, Jennifer. Just one thought. Wikis about cities are special. I'm not sure they're more special than wikis about countries or states or anything else, but I want to make sure we don't lose the fact that WikiMaas is about a city when it's categorized in it's correct place in the place hierarchy. Know what I mean? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 14:26, 19 October 2006 (EDT) | Love your energy on this new plan, Jennifer. Just one thought.

:Yeah, I also think that "city" is a privileged kind of location. It's "meaningfulness to people" goes all the way back to city states and greek philsophy on the proper role of a person in a "polis". Plus it's deeply entwined with dialects and economic communities and on and on... | |||
:Actually I think maybe I have a solution (how does it sound?): Make "Wiki List" contain a category called "Wiki Place" for "place-ish categories". Then you have a root node "Earth" (which works better than "ageographic" for wikis that aren't restricted to local issues) that leads to the whole tree structure of places on Earth proposed above. Parrallel to "Earth" you can have a category for "Polis" or "City" or whatever. So if you want a wiki that's only ''about something '''in''' London'' it would go in "Category:London" but if the subject of the wiki was "all and only ''London itself''" then the wiki would go in "Category:London" AND "Category:Polis"... | |||
:Sound good? (I like the idea of naming the Category "Polis" but whatever your favorite term is I'll go with that. What do you like?) | |||
