Governing powers[edit]

I believe that a municipality systematically has governing/administrative power, concept that is not necessarily conveyed by subclass of (P279) administrative territorial entity (Q56061). Moreover, it is not even deriving from organization (Q43229) and causes constraint violations on operator (P137), Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations/P137. I am thus adding P279 = municipal corporation [ municipal corporation (Q2097994) ] to fix both aspects. -- LaddΩ chat ;) 13:22, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

{{editprotected}}

Please, delete or deprecate subclass of (P279)human settlement (Q486972). 217.117.125.83 15:46, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@217.117.125.83: Why? It appears to meet all of the criteria. Bovlb (talk) 19:03, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not all municipalities are settlements. 217.117.125.83 10:13, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bovlb the request seems reasonable: populated place VS municipality. E.g. en:Municipality doesn't mention the term "settlement". However enwiki article is categorized under "Types of populated places". Not sure which solution should we take? Estopedist1 (talk) 09:33, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Could someone explain the differences? --Horcrux (talk) 17:30, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Horcrux enwiki en:Municipality helps, esp. its statement

"The territory over which a municipality has jurisdiction may encompass only one populated place such as a city, a town, or a village"

@Estopedist1: Actually it doesn't. May you provide an example of municipality that is not a human settlement (Q486972)? --Horcrux (talk) 13:54, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Horcrux: e.g. en:Tartu vs en:Tartu Parish. But I guess it doesn't matter, because it seems there is vaguness between different languages, see Talk:Q7930989#Administrative_entity Estopedist1 (talk) 05:32, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

P460[edit]

@VIGNERON: At the end of the day municipality of Spain is invalid on both constraint and logic as included in said to be the same as - "of" is invalid qualifier; and statement "said to be the same as" means that you can use "municipality of Spain" instead of "municipality" in any administrative division on the planet, which of course you can't, you can use "opština" instead of "municipality" even in Spain but you can't use "municipality of Spain" anywhere else except in Spain.

@Santasa99: true. My action was just to remove the self-referecing link, which was very very wrong. I do reverts as it's the easiest and fastest way to remove the error and warn the user at the same time (especially for dozen of errors), I must admit I don't always pay enough attention to the previous value (if there's any) as long as it's not a redirect or totally bogus. Sorry about that. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 17:50, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
