![]() | Cambridge was a Geography and places good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||||||||||

I think these two cities are the most similar the namesake cities could go. Both Cambridge UK and Cambridge MA have world class universities (Harvard, MIT, Cambridge), both have sorta similar populations (Cambridge MA has 119000 people in 2019 and Cambridge UK has 125k in 2011), both Cambridges have famous alumni, and both Cambridges are biotech hubs (with AstraZeneca in the UK and Moderna/Biogen in MA). Both Cambridges created major vaccines for COVID (Astra vaccine and Moderna vaccine), and Cambridge has a Pfizer lab.
The coat of arms currently given without qualification in the infobox is not that of the city but rather that of Cambridge City Council. So (a) it is a false assertion and (b) seems to be just decoration anyway. It doesn't seen possible to annotate the link but does it even belong here? Is there any convincing reason to retain it?

The article purports to give date from the 2021 census before the ONS has released it. How? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 20:15, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. Favonian ( talk) 17:02, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
– Cambridge, England isn't WP:PRITOP. However, I'm not really a fan on " Cambridge, Cambridgeshire", so I've left it blank in this RM. And yes, I have seen the previous RMs. --- Tbf69 P • T 17:02, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
This common metric is absent from this page - could somebody add it, please? Presumably both city and urban numbers are required, matching with population stats quoted. Lawrence18uk ( talk) 04:11, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
