Talk:List of cities in Croatia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] city vs. town

What do you think about the idea that here only the real cities should be listed? For instance, more then 10 000 or 50 000 inhabitants (there are only 3 bigger then 100 000 in Croatia)? Others should go to the list_of_towns_in_Croatia, and also categories should be conseqently updated? --Mestric 00:26, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The idea sprung to my mind more often than not when I saw the categories, but that's on shaky ground because the Croatian law does not distinguish in any consistent way between towns and cities, AFAIK. Meaning that any such division would be fairly arbitrary and prone to cause protest from people inhabiting cities just below the cutoff. --Joy [shallot] 17:41, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Later I found that the 10K limit is applied in the application process, so I split up the categories into Category:Cities in Croatia and Category:Towns in Croatia based on that principle. --Joy [shallot] 09:45, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

... but I think the list should remain in one single article. --Joy [shallot]

Hello, I just logged on and would like to contribute in the category of cities/towns in Croatia. I think it needs some cleanup, and would love to discuss before some work is done. At the present, small places like Kastav, Nin or Trilj are listed under the category "cities", together with Zagreb, Split and Rijeka. On the other hand, under "towns" we find both Opatija and Vugrovec, Daruvar and Gunja.... This is quite confusing, and also incorrect (just take a look at definitions of city and town). My suggestion is that we rename the Category:Cities in Croatia into "Cities and towns in Croatia". Only places with a status of "grad" would be listed here. According to the same principle, Category:Towns in Croatia would be renamed into "Municipalities of Croatia" and places with a status of "općina" would be listed here. I would also suggest that "List of cities in Croatia" be renamed into "List of cities and towns in Croatia". What do you think? --N.Noel 07:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] incomplete list?

The heading says there are 122 cities, but we don't actually have that many listed. I recall getting the number from some government web site; we should probably cross-reference the actual list with a government source. --Joy [shallot] 09:47, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
