Upcoming Changes

edit

Hey all! This page seems to have been dormant for over a decade, and the actual main page has some pretty significant issues, as shown by the warning labels listed above. I'm planning to make some significant changes to try to tighten up this page and bring it more up to date. If anyone is out there and wants to talk through these changes, please respond! Just as an overview of the changes I'm hoping to make, I'm currently thinking to try to consolidate the "principles" and "theoretical basis" sections. Currently, the principles draws on one set of ideas from one source and likely overstates the relevance of that set of ideas in the broader paradigm of participatory planning. Because it's a rather diffuse paradigm, I hope to include a brief introduction in the section that will clarify the nature of the paradigm, and then include some sections (including those that are already present) which describe important ideas in the development of that paradigm. I hope to flesh out the origins sections a bit in order to more thoroughly explain the history of participatory planning and situate it a little bit within the broader history of urban planning. Next, I hope to flesh out the tools section a little bit more, to include some more of the current tools and best practices. I hope these changes aren't too comprehensive, and I don't mean to domineer the article, but I do think it could use a face lift! TherealLiamplsc308 (talk) 18:48, 25 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Principles vs. methods

edit

What is the distinction between principles and methods? It seems that most of the items listed can fit into both categories. -Pgan002 (talk) 03:39, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think the difference between the two is clear—principles are the "what" and methods are the "how." However, the Methods section is just a laundry list. It needs to be considerably expanded and put into prose form in order to be useful. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 03:21, 31 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

In text citation needed!!

edit

This article really needs more intext citation.--SasiSasi (talk) 17:51, 6 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I concur! Article is now so labelled. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 03:21, 31 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Copy edit

edit

I performed a copy edit on this article as requested by the tag. I made the following changes:

  • Moved information to the lead of the article to better describe the topic to the casual reader
  • Removed unnecessary "Article" header
  • Updated references
  • Fixed broken wikification
  • Changed Principles list to be a definition list
  • Moved links to khanya-alcdd.org to a footnote
  • Reduced the over-dependence on acronyms

Both items in the "External links" section are no good at the moment.

  • World Bank Participation Sourcebook—I have a feeling this doesn't point to the same thing it did when the link was first put in the article. Right now, it has no such sourcebook, and I couldn't find one on the World Bank site. Left it in place in hopes someone can fix it.
  • Participatory Planning for Sustainable Communities—the provided URL 404s but provides a link to the gov.uk archive site. Following that link a few levels deep will get you to an archived copy of a page abstracting this document, but there is no link to actually view the document, and the link to order it is broken. If no one can find a working link to this document, the link should be deleted.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Participatory planning. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
