I propose that this article become a disambiguation page. There are many different types of towns--too many to cover in this one article. For example, in [[Illinois]], there is a type of [[municipality]] called an [[incorporated town]]; however, within the same state there are also unincorporated [[civil township|civil townships]], which are sometimes also simply called ''towns''. There are many other types of towns in other states and counties. [[User:Squideshi|Squideshi]] 17:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Strongly oppose''' - the content you would write to disambiguate would form the summary of the different types of town articles and might as well be the text of this article. No issue with a separate article on say incorproated towns that already exists and hyperlinks to it, or even a statement to see main article but a dab page would be innappropriate. Feel free to edit and tidy but not to turn into a dab page.--[[User:AYArktos|A Y Arktos]]\<sup>[[User_talk:AYArktos|talk]]</sup> 19:42, 12 April 2006 (UTC) |

It is not mentioned in the article but it is necessary to know that the modern Russian Lenguage (een in the past) doesn't fill the difference between [[city]]and [[town]]. Both types of urban areas in Russian are called like [[gorod]] (Rus: Город). Only some very small towns in Russia and some other CIS and Slaic countries are called as the "Settlement of the Uran type" (Rus: "Посёлок городского типа" ПГТ (PGT)). The main difference between the Urban and Rural areas in Russia is not the population quantity but the dominate kind of employment (in Agreculture or in service and Industry). |

Anyhow if the regular population of the area is 5000 - 10000 persons and more with the dominate non-agricultural employment such a place could be noted as a "gorod". Both Moscow with more than 10 000 000 population and Pavlovsk, Voronezh Region (for example) with 15 000 people only are [[gorod]]s in Russian. |

In England and Wales (if not all over the UK) isn't the actual difference bretween a village and town determined by whether or not there is a town charter? This would explain why villages can be larger than towns as mentioned in the article. Dainamo 18:54, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Russian Gorod
It is not mentioned in the article but it is necessary to know that the modern Russian Lenguage (een in the past) doesn't fill the difference between cityand town. Both types of urban areas in Russian are called like gorod (Rus: Город). Only some very small towns in Russia and some other CIS and Slaic countries are called as the "Settlement of the Uran type" (Rus: "Посёлок городского типа" ПГТ (PGT)). The main difference between the Urban and Rural areas in Russia is not the population quantity but the dominate kind of employment (in Agreculture or in service and Industry).
Anyhow if the regular population of the area is 5000 - 10000 persons and more with the dominate non-agricultural employment such a place could be noted as a "gorod". Both Moscow with more than 10 000 000 population and Pavlovsk, Voronezh Region (for example) with 15 000 people only are gorods in Russian.
