I think GCarty was nuts to move this article here. Generally, parenthetical annotations are necessary only for disambiguation, where there are several possible meanings for a term (see WP:MOS). In this case, city limits is clearly a term used only in American municipal law. No one has contested that fact. Therefore, it has only one possible meaning, which is already noted in the first line of the article. There is no need to disambiguate from, say, city limits in Canadian or British law. If no one can provide a coherent defense of GCarty's action in a week I'm moving this back. -- Coolcaesar 01:59, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Lookig for City Proper, i was redirected here, only to find out that the article had a very US-centrict def on what i city proper (limits) are considered to be, the scope of the concept needs to be expanded to conider the concept outside of the United States. -- Boothy443 | trácht ar 07:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
"British cities are defined as any town - regardless of size - that has a cathedral because the Queen has granted a letters patent"
Actually it's a bit more complicated than that - see City status in the United Kingdom. Could somebody please upadte the article accordingly?

It is extremely difficult to gain planning permission to build on greenbelt land to expand UK cities further, therefore providing a de facto boundaries on cities in this particular country.
