Talk:Über

übercool
What of the common use for "über" in to mean to the highest degree or above all using the original German meaning?
 * hey i'm from germany and we don't say übercool but obercool.Smell Ur Maw.

thats in english overcool. ober = over --Bronko
 * I'm from germany as well. I would translate ober with upper, and über with above. I have heared both übercool and obercool before, but would say that obercool is more common. It is almost exclusively used by teenagers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phalphalak (talk • contribs) 01:46, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

 * "An expression like "über cool" sounds rather awkward in the ears of a German. " Hi, I'm from the south-west of Germany (Baden) and I use "übercool" more often than "obercool" and it doesn't sound awkward to the germans here. Seems like it's a regional thing. But I have to confirm that it's a teenager term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.61.141 (talk) 17:13, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Also "cool" originates from English language and every compound noun - which we have a lot of here in Germany - is a somewhat modern word. 79.199.105.158 (talk) 16:22, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Last comment is dodgy
...there doesn't appear to be a Nazi connection (except for the fact that über is a loanword from German).

German does not equal Nazi, so is the comment in brackets really necessary?

 * No, it is not necessary. -Seth Mahoney 04:30, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * There is an entire generation (of Americans, at least) who still hear über with Nazi connotations (perhaps buried subconciously). This might be worth mentioning, if anyone can find a valid source for it (other than, "it has been Aranel's impression that..."). -Aranel (" Sarah ") 22:51, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't imply that Germans equal Nazis, but it might be reworded. In my opinion, it is valid to note that both Nazism and the word 'über' have German origins.

 * I wholly disagree with the above comment. Why is it valid to note that Nazism also has German origins in this article? It's completely irrelevant; similar to relating the word "Kindergarten" to Nazism. T. J. Day 14:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, there is somewhat of a connection to Nazism in that Uber is the opposite of Unter, which is used in the English world primarily in "Untermenschen". But I personally don't see the point in including that thurr.

"Uber-cracking"
I removed this:
 * Another word that Über is said to have come from is uber-cracking, but this theory has been proved wrong. The word uber-cracking comes from the german word..........

I'm not aware of any such "theory" and it's probably just something the author thought. Since "cracking" is not German, it stands to reason "uber" didn't come from it. 82.92.119.11 20:31, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Paragraph switching
I switched paragraphs so that the Pokemon reference comes second under the heading, rather than first. I thought it rather strange that it should head up the section, given its confinement to the Pokemon fanbase. --163.1.137.58 21:25, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Über as Wikipedia search term...
I just did a quick search on the term "über". Roughly the first four search pages, at 20 results pp. have "über" in the article title (locations, academic papers, concepts, etc.). Then there were some 2000 results with the word in the article itself. My question is whether it is possible to pull up a pure list of articles with "über" in at least one version of the article title (excluding something like Überarschloch, I suppose), for inclusion, either in "see also", or in the "Use in German" section. samwaltz 22:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

"uber" used by Germans
I'd like to point out that this whole paragraph:

 * "In German online slang it can also be used with the same meaning as the English usages of "uber" by gamers. In this case, it is typically written without the umlaut—despite the ready availability and familiarity of the 'ü' character—in part to distinguish it from its original meaning. Linguistically speaking, it's interesting to note that a language can borrow a loan word that it already loaned out, as long as the meaning has changed sufficiently. In the most cases of this usage, it is borrowed directly as Denglisch, or an English word/phrase that has been fitted adhoc into the German language."

is wrong. I never heard any German "readopt" the word "uber/über" from the English slang term. --195.14.223.11 22:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm German and I can say, that the most of our gamers use a kind of Denglish in their communication. The word über is normally used to talk about directions. This goes for the gamercommunity also as for the average German. "geh' über die Brücke" is similar to "go over the bridge". In German the relation to comparatives is mostly not used anymore. I think in english speaking countries it's only some kind of popcultural thing so as many people in Germany use english words in their sentences to make them sound more interesting or reliable. -89.48.228.56 20:50, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm german too and I would like to add that "über" is not only used in it's original meaning but also in the readopted meaning. Though it might be mostly ironical most gamers I know use "uber" form time to time to refer to something special (like in the article: skill, equipment, and so on).

I just switched "when transliterated from German" to something along the lines of "when transliterated intowriting systems without diacritics". French, and other languages using the written symbol ü don't transliterate it when borrowing the term; Germans, however, occasionally use "ue", in cases like Airports/Train Stations, where Munich (München) is occasionally referred to as "Muenchen", as they know that quite a number of people travelling there don't have an "ü", additionally, a lot of the older computers available in Germany didn't have it either. . samwaltz 17:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

This is pure trivia
The only real content is the first part of the article.. that says that "uber" is a synonym for "super". And it isn't. Also, the examples aren't serious: "overkill" "überleet". Then, the "uses" section is 100% trivia, or as some people call it "pop culture". And that's preety useless... --200.5.242.52 21:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Trivia and pop culture (see any page with "in pop culture" at the end) have relevance if there is a level of notoriety, which this does. Under your logic the entire page on leet speak should be deleted.  If you want that buy a copy of the Encyclopædia Britannica.

Virtually all "in popular culture" sections in Wikipedia articles should be deleted, as "in popular culture" is being blatantly used as a euphemism for "trivia". Attempting to ascend to the level of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is, in fact, a valid goal for Wikipedia, but it doesn't seem likely to occur any time soon. We can still work in that direction. I don't know what "leet" is, but there are Wikipedia articles the subject of which might be considered trivial in the general scheme of things, and in these articles references to things that are trivial in relation to the subject, tangential, should be deleted. That's different from deleting the entire articles. Anyway, it is reasonable for this article to say something about how uber is used in English, but as the article currently stands it is verging into trivia and does need to be pruned. I wouldn't call it "pure trivia", however. TheScotch (talk) 11:22, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Amerikan spelin ish difrant, eh
Knowing German might help to reach a consensus on the correct transliteration, that is ä becomes ae, ö -> oe and ü -> ue. The following examples illustrate that the use of "uber" is more likely associated with a lack of education than a German word. No native German speaker would ever use "uber".

spät/spaet - late, Spat - parallelepiped

schön/schoen - nice, schon - yet

Düssel/Duessel - Name of a creek in Germany through Düsseldorf, Dussel - dimwit

führe/fuehre - lead, Fuhre - cartload

Schüssel/Schuessel - dish, Schussel - fidget —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.82.176.72 (talk • contribs)

 * Can we please keep that OUT of the main article. Yes, it's clear that there's the character ü, which is quite uncomon in English. However, as soon as any interested reader sees that there are pages for u, umlaut and diaresis, s/he will pop over there for more information. The spelling of Düsseldorf is irrelevant to the article. One SHORT paragraph should suffice here. samwaltz 06:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

 * No, all examples are relevant. They illustrate clearly that the transliteration of "ü" is "ue", not "u". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.82.176.72 (talk • contribs)

I totally agree with Sam. Sorry, no consensus to include that fluff. It seems written expressly to prove how ignorant English speakers are. Plus you don't even know how to sign your posts. pschemp | talk 23:44, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I concur with most comments here. The entire article is NONSENSE. The best thing that could happen to the article is a speedy deletion, and I will be more than happy to sign that.

Even Un-gamers use this word
I have encountered people who use this word that aren't anywhere close to gamers. What is the slang meaning to the word the article isn't really clear? 67.163.33.214 01:41, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Pokemon
I don't think the Pokemon reference is notable enough for the first paragraph. I also am not sure if this is as much of a "gamer" thing as the article emphasizes. I know that many Wikipedia editors are gamers so that may be a slightly skewed point of view. 71.11.215.216 (talk) 01:48, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree to an extent. The Pokemon reference doesn't belong there. I'm sure it's notable in the sense that Pokemon is so popular and easily recognizable, but it's not serving any purpose within the context of the article other than as an example. An example really isn't necessary, and even if other editors think it is necessary, in it's current form it's way too long and has too much irrelevant information.

It is a pretty big "gamer" thing, but I've heard it used in other social circles. My sister's High School friends all know what it means and many people use it casually or ironically. Also, I don't think there's a college student out there that doesn't know what "uber" means, especially in modern day non-German context. But, by far, the most prevalent place for it is in competitive games. Flypanam (talk) 23:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

homosexual condom
wtf? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.31.58.12 (talk) 20:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Usage in video-game culture + references
I just don't feel this section is adding anything new. It is basically reiterating what is already discussed in the main introduction. Compare...

This section: "The word über in gaming means, super, very, powerful, or way too. This word could have originated from the german word." The introduction: "Über comes from the German language ... über also became known as a synonym for super due to gamers' excessively using the word incorrectly; e.g. über-bright = "super bright," generally with a slightly intensified meaning."

I'm just not seeing any real value to this short section. It seems best to integrate it into the main body of the article. The examples given are also poorly structured: "that was (super/ very/ way too) powerful" makes for awkward reading. Furthermore, the last sentence linking to a number of "overused" (which is subjective in itself) terms seems irrelevant. And on that note, I notice that references have been added to justify their overusage. Is a number of people posting on a gamespot forum really a reliable source for the "overuse" of the word noob? What about the blog used for the epic reference? Thoughts? Tsumaru (talk) 04:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

rewrite
This article seems very chaotic and unclear. I'm proposing a complete rewrite. Since i'm both German and familiar with the term, i could perform this task myself, if nobody else volunteers. --mafutrct (talk) 17:01, 16 August 2008 (UTC) Since i got no feedback and lack time these days, i withdraw my offer. --mafutrct (talk) 16:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Suggestions about specific changes are more helpful.TheScotch (talk) 11:23, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

mistranslation?
Permit me to question the Brandenburghistorica.com reading, which is pretty much on display here...

'Another example is the Deutschlandlied, which begins with the well-known words "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" meaning "Germany, Germany above everything" (It is a common misunderstanding that this is in reference to conquest or subjugation - in fact, the words were intended to call all the different Germanic states to unity, to place being German above their local disputes[2]. Because of this mistranslation, the German national anthem now uses only the third verse.)'

...neither this nor the cited source quotes what I think is entire phrase found in the "ueber alles" verse -- "ueber alles in der Welt" doesn't seem to me to refer only to placing Germany over local principalities or regions -- but I am not a native speaker. I'd welcome a native reader's objective review of what that phrase would have actually meant to a native speaker of German in the period 1841-1945, especially given the presence of a leader with the title of "Kaiser".

It might still only mean "Germany is more important than anything else in the world" rather than "Germany ought to rule over every part of the world", but the omission of the "...in der Welt" portion of the lyrics seems oddly convenient / simplifying.

I realize this is one of many sensitive subjects; in summary, it is not clear to me if the "mistranslation" commentary text belongs here at all.

Apologies, I don't have a login yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.162.123 (talk) 00:45, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

 * It should be removed. The problem is not the word 'über', but the fact that there is no verb, so it has nothing to do with this article. The explanation for the line belongs into the Deutschlandlied article and can be found there. Blutkoete (talk) 14:38, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Use in Switzerland
"An English expression like "über-cool" sounds rather awkward to the ears of a German, although it is commonly used in Switzerland."

The last part is wrong. "über-cool" is definitely not commonly used in German-speaking Switzerland. I've never heard it from a native speaker in an everyday situation, not even amongst young people! 144.85.157.22 (talk) 03:22, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

uber-left
Hi, just dropped in to say that the "above mentioned 'uber-left' is in fact, not mentioned above, and that I (as a germanophone) would say "die Ultra-linke(n) if it is ment politically".. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.145.39.154 (talk) 16:16, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Dead Kennedys
While I am a big Dead Kennedys fan I don't think just mentioning that they have a song called "California Über Alles" is very relevant to this article, and certainly doesn't belong in the place where it's mentioned. That section is a discussion of the use of "über" *in English* which is not the case with the DK song. This reference should really go in the Deutschlandlied article. Danfeder (talk) 12:13, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Forbidden strophes of the "Deutschlandlied" (which is also known as Germanys national anthem)
I'm not a historian, but I wouldn't say, that "Germany, Germany above everything" can be quote "mistaken as meaning 'Germany above the rest of the world'", because the very next line in the strophe says "Über alles in der Welt", meaning "Over everything in the world". For me it seems highly probable that most people understand it exactly that way and therefor this strophe (and the next one) got banned after WW2. --79.199.105.158 (talk) 16:34, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Bullshit, this strophe is NOT banned anywhere. Neither in Germany nor anywhere else. The Deutschlandlied or actually "Lied der Deutschen" had been the national anthem of Germany for many years, even before the NS regime gained power. What you are probably refering to is the "Horst Wessel Lied" which was the anthem of the NSDAP. This song was made the unofficial second national anthem of Germany during the NS era and forbidden after the war. Dennis07 (talk) 07:27, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Categorization into Category:German words and phrases
Is there a reason why this page has not been categorized into this category yet? --Dennis07 (talk) 07:29, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Cognates
Probably, cognates of "über" at the beginning of the article should also include Ancient Greek "ὑπέρ" (hypér), Latin "super" and its descendants (Italian "sopra"; Catalan, Galician, Spanish, Portuguese "sobre"; French "sur" and others). --37.11.123.250 (talk) 12:45, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Dimension Films

Dimension Films is an inactive American independent film and television production and distribution label founded in 1992, and currently owned by independent studio Lantern Entertainment. Formally one of the American "mini-majors" (i.e., small to medium independent television and motion picture production studios), Dimension Films produced and released independent films and genre titles; specifically horror and science fiction films.

Dimension Films was used as Harvey and Bob Weinstein's label within the brothers' own Miramax Films studio, which was acquired by The Walt Disney Company on June 30, 1993. The Weinsteins took the Dimension Films label with them when they separated from Miramax Films on October 1, 2005, and paired it under their new company, The Weinstein Company (TWC). However, the firing of Harvey Weinstein following allegations of sexual harassment and rape against him, as well as financial troubles that followed, led to the company's decline. The studio eventually declared bankruptcy in February 2018, with Lantern acquiring a majority of its film library and assets, and was shut down on July 16, 2018.

All films released by Dimension Films before 2005 (as part of Miramax) are currently owned and distributed by Paramount Pictures through Paramount Global's acquisition of a 49% stake in Miramax that was closed on April 3, 2020.

1991–1992: Foundation and early releases
The studio was officially founded in 1992 under its parent company Miramax Films by Bob Weinstein as a label to distribute horror films and other films deemed "disreputable" for release under the Miramax title. Prior to 1992, the Weinsteins had released similar titles under a smaller operation called Millimeter Films.

The first release under Dimension's label was the sequel film Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, released theatrically in the United States in 1992, followed by Stuart Gordon's sci-fi thriller Fortress, and the sequel Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice, both released the same year.

1993–1999: Disney's acquisition of Miramax
On June 30, 1993, The Walt Disney Company purchased Miramax Films, who had been facing financial troubles between 1990 and 1992, prior to their acquisition and release of The Crying Game, which earned the company US$60 million. The success of The Crying Game made Miramax Films attractive to Disney, who officially bought the company in 1993, resulting in Dimension Films becoming a Disney subsidiary.

After the box-office failure of Mother's Boys (1994) starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Dimension Films distributed Miramax Films' The Crow (1994), which would garner Dimension Films its first major commercial success. In 1995, Dimension Films acquired the rights to the Halloween film series, releasing the sixth installment Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers in September that year. The release of From Dusk till Dawn (1996) would mark the beginning of a working relationship with director Robert Rodriguez as well as a lucrative franchise, with several sequels to follow.

Dimension Films would gain greater exposure with its distribution of Wes Craven's Scream, released on December 20, 1996, which became a major box office hit, grossing $173 million worldwide. The company also produced and distributed its sequel, Scream 2, released the following year, which grossed a comparable $172 million.

The company continued its trend of releasing horror and science fiction films, specifically films aimed at teenagers and young adult audiences, with the releases of Phantoms (1998) and the Halloween sequel Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), the latter of which garnered the company another commercial success. The company released its second film with director Robert Rodriguez, the teen sci-fi film The Faculty, on Christmas Day 1998. In 1999, Dimension Films distributed David Cronenberg's eXistenZ and Scream-writer Kevin Williamson's directorial debut Teaching Mrs. Tingle.

2000–2004: Post-millennium releases
Dimension Films' first post-millennium release was the direct-to-video From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter. Next was Scream 3 (2000), which was theatrically released like its predecessors. In July 2000, the company released the slasher parody film Scary Movie, which grossed a record-breaking $278 million for the company and marked the beginning of another popular film series. 2001 saw the release of the Robert Rodriguez-directed Spy Kids, which was the company's first major children's film. The film would spawn another popular franchise for the company.

Beginning in 2000, Dimension Films began purchasing North American distribution rights to various international productions. Their 2001 release of The Others, a Spanish-produced supernatural thriller starring Nicole Kidman, was a surprise success for the company. Other international productions purchased by Dimension Films included two additional horror films by Spanish director Jaume Balagueró: The Nameless (1999), and Darkness (2002). Darkness received a North American theatrical release in December 2004 after being shelved for two years, and proved to be a financial success, while The Nameless was released direct-to-video in 2005. In January 2005, Dimension Films purchased the American distribution rights to the Australian horror film Wolf Creek, which was released in December that year.

For much of the early 2000s, Dimension Films produced and distributed numerous sequels to films released under their branch, including several direct-to-video releases for films such as Children of the Corn: Revelation (2001), Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002), and Dracula III: Legacy (2005). They also distributed several comedies, such as the Terry Zwigoff-directed Bad Santa (2003), and David Zucker's My Boss's Daughter (2003).

2005–2018: Separation from Miramax
In 2005, the Weinstein brothers purchased the rights to Dimension Films from Disney, and the company officially became a subsidiary of The Weinstein Company (TWC), established the same year.

After their separation from Miramax Films, Dimension Films would co-produce several titles with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), including the horror remakes The Amityville Horror (2005), Black Christmas (2006), and Halloween (2007), as well as the Stephen King-based thrillers 1408 and The Mist (both 2007). In the spring of 2007, Dimension Films produced and distributed the joint-double feature film Grindhouse, directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. The film was a major box office failure, grossing less than half of its $53 million budget.

In 2011, Scream 4, the fourth installment in the Scream series, was released and proved to be another box office success in the franchise, earning nearly $100 million in box office receipts. The company released the sci-fi horror films Apollo 18 (2011) and Dark Skies (2013). In 2013, Dimension Films acquired the rights to the independent slasher film All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, shot in 2006, and gave the film a limited release in the United States in October.

Dimension partnered with MTV for the television series Scream, based on the film series. On June 24, 2019, it was announced that Scream would be moving to VH1 ahead of the third season, which Dimension did not produce. Dimension Films also had involvement with One Ball Pictures, who owns the "Funny Or Die" online series. They released their first episode, "A Lesson with John McEnroe", with Dimension Films.

In 2015, Dimension Films lost the rights to the Halloween franchise.

Bankruptcy
In 2018, TWC was purchased in a bankruptcy auction by Lantern Entertainment.

On December 20, 2019, ViacomCBS (now known as Paramount Global) announced that they would acquire 49% of Miramax from beIN Media Group for at least $375 million, with Paramount Pictures gaining exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the Miramax library, including the pre-2005 Dimension films. ViacomCBS and Miramax will also co-produce new content based on titles from the Miramax library. The deal closed on April 3, 2020.

Home media
The pre-2005 Dimension films were originally released to home video through Buena Vista Home Entertainment and marketed under the brand Dimension Home Video (under the Hollywood Pictures label in some places), while Miramax was owned by Disney. After Disney sold Miramax to Filmyard in 2010, they were distributed from 2011 to 2020 on home video through Lionsgate Home Entertainment, with Echo Bridge Home Entertainment briefly handling some as well. Through ViacomCBS' 49% stake in Miramax, Paramount Home Entertainment acquired the home video distribution rights to the pre-2005 Dimension titles. Notable exceptions are Mr 3000 and international rights to Scary Movie 4.

As of 2015, the post-2005 Dimension Films titles (apart from The Amityville Horror, owned by Amazon MGM Studios through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, as of 2020) are currently released on DVD and Blu-ray by Lionsgate. Before, they were distributed by Genius Products and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Dimension Extreme
Beginning in 2008, Dimension introduced the Dimension Extreme label, which released primarily international indie horror and teen film/adult comedy (i.e., "Extreme Movie") titles on DVD.

The five-kilometer-long city consisted of three floors, homes, tunnels, places of worship and a small human figurine. According to the locals, the site was considered a source of "healing water" and "Caesar's bath."

Sports
A multiday track running ultramarathon of desert concept, called Runfire Cappadocia Ultramarathon, is held since 2012 annually in July. The race tours 244 km in six days through several historic places across Cappadocia reaching out to Lake Tuz.

Talk:Township

Disambiguation
I added a disambiguation message, thought that's appropriate since this page contains multiple definitions and points to other pages styled "Township". Am I overlooking some reason this might not be appropriate? Ellsworth 22:38, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

 * This is more of an article than the usual list-style disambiguation page. It may be compare to chancellor, imperial guard, and municipality rather than, e.g. canton. Rather then removing the text, I'd remove msg:disambig  -- User:Docu
 * I agree with Docu. But now someone completly deleted the article, made a small note in the wiktionary, made wikipedia township-links into external links to the wiktionary which are of less use and turned the link in the subnational entity link into a "Township (dab)" - link. I reverted 90% of this, keeping townhip in line with other subnational entity articles. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 23:23, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but the content, such as it is, is a disambiguation page. older≠wiser 04:08, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Feel free to extent. BTW - a lot of the content was deleted by some user. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 15:06, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * And worse yet, some user is going around making "disambiguation link repairs" to articles referencing this article, changing the link in many cases to township (United States). Sorry, but I don't agree that the distinction between American townships and other townships is great enough to warrant linking every instance of "township" to Township (United States).  Sometimes, a discourse on just general townships will do nicely.  (Of course, it would help if we still had that discourse available in this article.) -- SwissCelt 17:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, I think there is enough difference between U.S. and other places to warrant such disambiguation. Most of the content that was "deleted" was either already in sub-articles or was moved to one. My peeve with the bot that is making these changes is that in many cases it should be using a more specific link to civil township. older≠wiser 17:26, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I should have been more clear. There is cause to disambiguate, but at the same time not every link to township warrants a disambigation to a specific national article.  For example, paper township linked to township.  The article on paper townships discusses those entities within the context of Ohio law; thus, it already explains the function of townships in the United States (and Ohio in particular).  What may be necessary is a discourse on townships in general:  What they are, how they originated, etc. -- SwissCelt 17:41, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Actually, in that case, paper township, the link SHOULD go to township (United States) rather than to this generic topic precisely because it is a variation on the specifc forms that townships take in the U.S. older≠wiser 18:14, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I disagree. What information about townships specific to the United States wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) already be in an article about... you guessed it, a type of township specific to the United States?  It's redundant.  I can see linking to civil township, and have done so with this article by way of compromise, but linking to increasingly specific, disambiguated articles strikes me as a Very Bad Idea.  The result would be similar to Native American, where it seems every week some bot is "repairing" the disambiguation link to yet another new article.  It's a complete waste of time for us pedants, and it's inconveniencing those who are actually using this site as a reference. -- SwissCelt 22:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

 * What information about townships specific to the United States wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) already be in an article about... you guessed it, a type of township specific to the United States? I'm not sure how to respond -- is this a rhetorical question? Are you serious that you cannot see any difference between linking to township, which is basically an augmented disambiguation page, and linking to township (United States)? Or that you are unable to see the additional contextual information in township (United States) about how townships have developed and function in the U.S. that is not in paper township? I don't entirely disagree with linking to civil township, but to be honest, paper township right now is so poorly written that I could not tell whether such townships are actually functional units of civil government or are only some sort of vestigal paper entity without separate governmental powers. older≠wiser 01:54, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Are you serious that you cannot see any difference between linking to township, which is basically an augmented disambiguation page, and linking to township (United States)? Or that you are unable to see the additional contextual information in township (United States) about how townships have developed and function in the U.S. that is not in paper township? Neither.  I'm stating that the contextual information about how townships have developed and function in the U.S. (Ohio, specifically) should be written in the article paper township, and that contextual information about the initial purpose of townships should be written in the article township.  That this information is not presently in those articles is no excuse for a person (or worse, a bot) to guess at the intent, and lead reader and editor alike down an endless stream of needless disambiguation.  What's next:  Township (Ohio)?  How about Township (Podunk County, Anystate)?

 * to be honest, paper township right now is so poorly written that I could not tell whether such townships are actually functional units of civil government or are only some sort of vestigal paper entity without separate governmental powers. Then edit the article.  Or don't.  But don't try to fix it in the links.  That benefits no one. -- SwissCelt 05:33, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * the contextual information about how townships have developed and function in the U.S. (Ohio, specifically) should be written in the article paper township, and that contextual information about the initial purpose of townships should be written in the article township. Sorry, but I think this approach is extremely bad. Paper township should be about Paper townships, not about the broader spectrum of how townships developed in the U.S. The specific case of paper townships is one specific case which contrasts with how townships developed in the rest of the U.S. Inserting the U.S. contextual information into an minor article about a limited set of instances results in forking of information, which is in general not a good thing. That this information is not presently in those articles is no excuse for a person (or worse, a bot) to guess at the intent, and lead reader and editor alike down an endless stream of needless disambiguation. This is in now way needless disambiguation. It is locating the appropriate context. Township is far too general to provide any useful context. IMO, it would be better as a pure disambiguation page. But some apparently want to see it as some sort of article. Fine. But even at best, it will only provide a fairly superficial overview with pointers to more detailed subarticles. Why link to such a useless article, when you can link directly to an article that provides appropriate context? What's next: Township (Ohio)?  How about Township (Podunk County, Anystate)? If necessary, sure. The functioning of townships varies considerably from state to state. There already is a Township (New Jersey). But IMO, in such cases it would probably be better to consolidate such information into an article describing all the varieties of local government in a state. But don't try to fix it in the links.  That benefits no one. Baloney. IMO, adding a better link is an improvement worth making. older≠wiser 13:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * but IMO from the US-, Canada-, SA- etc township pages the links should go to "Township" and not to wiktionary. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 19:50, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree the linking to Wiktionary is odd. If a more specific link is not known, then linking to township is better than linking to wiktionary. older≠wiser 20:19, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Russian ref
I found and cut down in length:

--Commander Keane 15:48, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
 * In the context of Russia, the Soviet Union, and CIS states, the term is sometimes used to denote a small semi-urban, sometimes industrial, settlement and used to translate the terms поселок городского типа (townlet), посад (posad), местечко (mestechko, from Polish "miasteczko", a small town; in the cases of predominant Jewish population the latter is sometimes translated as shtetl).

Is the statement "местечко (mestechko, from Polish "miasteczko" " verified? There is a basic word "место" and "местечко" is its diminutive (place / little place). The same style exists in majority of slavic lenguages, if not in all. 160.216.1.172 (talk) 10:53, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Merger proposal

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The merger proposal fails for lack of consensus to support the proposal. Yellowdesk (talk) 23:55, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

This article's definition of township is OR, and the parts that are not OR are more or less a duplicate of municipality. --Espoo (talk) 20:57, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think your proposal makes sense. I believe we need one article where the terms municipality, town, township, city, village, etc. are explained country by country. Otherwise, for quite many countries the info is put at random in one of the two, and by Murthy's law, usually in the wrong one. Interestingly, this is such a case that, should the encyclopedia be limitted to a single country, there would be more clear distinction between the two terms, and hence two separate articles, while with all 193 countries, the terms are so mixed up, that defining them in general, and not country by country, leads to tons of missunderstandings and/or information missplacement. Dc76\talk 23:24, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Both articles, township and municipality, are pretty awful. The definition for municipality is almost as bad as that for township. While there is considerable overlap, the terms are not interchangeable. I would object to having township redirect to municipality or having municipality redirect to township. In many parts of the U.S., townships are not considered municipalities. Perhaps local government is the most generic terms that covers both. older ≠ wiser 16:37, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * So, you are suggesting to move most of the info (numbers, structure) from municipality and township into local government, while the former two should be reduced to a collection of definitions with country by country links to sections in local government? That would make sense. Dc76\talk 21:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with that totally. The situation term-wise seems to vary immensely in different countries...(Kate)

Combining two bad articles will just make one worse article. Just improve each of them. Kennel Kough (talk) 05:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I would say keep them apart and improve each article to standard. The reason is I think they have slightly different definitions. I think township is an much older government, political and geographic definition, while municipality is more modern and tends to be applied more to cities. scope_creep (talk) 21:25, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Not here in the Czech Republic! Most often saying "municipality" is a fancier way of referring to a village! (Kate)

I don't know about in other countries but in Canada traditionally a Township is one kind of Municipal Government (like a City, Town, Village or Borough), so to Canadians it would be like combining the City page with the Municipal page. This kind of Township (a rural municipality with an elected Reeve and a separate street grid) should be defined on this page separately from the overview on the Municipality page. Definitions for townships in South Africa and historic townships in Great Britain are very different from this model but are still, I think, closer to the Canadian Township than a general term for a Municipality.JosephIWMolto (talk) 09:00, 25 April 2009 (UTC) These aren't that synonymous. Improve what exists.Synchronism (talk) 20:29, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Some of the detail on this page is a duplicate of the Municipality information and is most appropriate there so I am removing it from this page where it is nothing to with the word township. This will make the township article shorter but also more informative on its own.--AssegaiAli (talk) 14:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Municipalities and townships are very different. Municipalities are organized through a charter. Townships are divisions of unchartered land in a given state. These shouldn't be merged. 69.208.7.46 (talk) 03:39, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Except, of course, in the places where that is not the case, like New Jersey. 121a0012 (talk) 15:38, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I am against the merger. A township is a type of municipality. Two articles make it more precise, which is the purpose of it all on Wikipedia.--24.226.20.118 (talk) 23:11, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

In Pennsylvania, municipality is the general term to describe the Minor Civil Division (MCD) which includes Boroughs, Cities and Townships. Although each are governed by a locally elected body, the form of governance varies at each level. Merging Township with Municipality may confuse the terms for those researching MCDs in Pennsylvania. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.91.28.141 (talk) 17:08, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose I oppose the merger because the concepts are not identical. While the concept of township may be a subset of the concept of a municipality (particularly in the European sense), it definitely is not the same in a number of countries, such as the United States. --Bejnar (talk) 18:31, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Commune vs Township
I saw in some articles on Angola administrative divisions being referred to as "communes" (a direct and not entirely correct translation from Portuguese "comunas". Because I felt the term is not quite right used in English, I looked up "commune", which happens to be redirected to "township". However, a "commune" and a "township are not the same thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rui Gabriel Correia (talk • contribs) 19:01, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Township is not the same as commune. I think commune should have its own article. --Universal001 (talk) 09:09, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Scotland
Scotland doesn't even have counties anymore. Furthermore, the article Township (Scotland) shows that Scottish townships are not "local rural or semi-rural government".

Safe Corridor

 * For the concept of safe passage in wartime, see Humanitarian corridor.

The Safe Corridor initiative is part of an effort by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, and departments from other states, to improve the safety of its roads. Roads with accident and fatality rates above the average may have some of their lengths designated as "Safe Corridor" areas. In these areas, traffic fines are doubled.

At the program's inception, there were thirteen roads with Safe Corridors: U.S. Route 1, U.S. Route 9, Route 10, Route 17, U.S. Route 22, Route 23, U.S. Route 30, U.S. Route 40, U.S. Route 46, Route 47, Route 73, U.S. Route 130, and U.S. Route 206.

The Safe Corridors Program is a part of New Jersey's "Safety First" initiative, which combines $20 million in highway improvements over five years with stricter police enforcement, increased fines for unsafe equipment and hazardous driving, and enhanced driver education for all motorists. New Jersey's Safe Corridors Program focuses on improving safety along the State's most crash-prone corridors – nearly 130 mi of state roadway.
