[edit] Village or city? The Great Debate

By population, I'm thinking village; but the OH Secretary of State lists Waverly as a chartered city, and this isn't an issue of not being up to date since the population was 4,477 after the 1990 census. In Gallipolis' case, once the city dropped below 5 grand with the 2000 census, it was listed as a chartered village. So I'm thinking somehow it's still a city... --JaGa 05:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I can't see how it can possibly be a city. §703.01B of the Ohio Revised Code states the following: "Cities, which, at any federal census, have a population of less than five thousand, shall become villages." It seems like it would be a lot easier for the Secretary of State's office to make an error than for the Ohio Revised Code to make an error in the legal definition of a place.
