I changed Warsaw from the Polish to the English because, few people know the Polish name. none of the other cities.
Until Romania and Bulgaria have joined the EU, which they will do on 1st January, Bucharest and Sofia are not capital cities within the EU. One new user insists on adding them since there are only 30 days left until they accede. However, there is no window of opportunity here. Nothing will happen to this template to prevent editing it after the accession of Romania and Bulgaria. Hence, they can be added when it's true, not when it's convenient to do so. Besides, there will be hundreds of Romanians and Bulgarians happy to add them on the stroke of midnight. Bastin 14:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I am unsure as to whether these city's should be on this list as Wales, NI and Scotland are constituents of the UK whose capital is London. The UK as a whole is a member state of the EU, Wales, NI and Scotland are not. Johnskitt 01:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, and the next time I add 16 capitals of German Bundesländer plus Barcelona! Stop your unbased edits. Lear 21 22:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted the edit, Cardiff, Belfast and Edinburgh are regional capitals. London is the capital city of the UK. There are probably hundreds of regional capitals within the EU that were previously sovereign states, the point however is that Edinburgh, for example, will only be a capital city of the EU, if Scotland decides that it wishes to be independent from the UK, and not before!

Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are not counties, regions or states of the UK. Therefore they cannot be compared to Germany for example. They are constituent countries of the UK, albeit not independent. Cardiff, Belfast and Edinburgh must be given special consideration. Cardiff, for example, is often refered to as the youngest European capital (made capital in 1955) [1]. Also here are a couple of sources citing the cities as European Capitals [2] [3].

Also as I've said before, Wales/Scotland/N. Ireland are not regions or states. They are unique in that sense. Maybe we could create a new sub-section with capital cities of say German states and Swedish regions including all the EU'ssub-capitals. WL ( talk) 01:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Flags are standard features among templates and are useful in terms of quick visual orientation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.8.49 ( talk) 13:48, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Have you ever seen a movie without pictures? Read a newsmagazine without images, graphics? Shown somebody your flat while he/she is blindfolded? No ?
Visual orientation is used in every dimension of communication, so it is here. Lear 21 ( talk) 16:18, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
The template is about capital cities in the EU. So obviously the flag supports this message, by helping our readers to visualize what the content of the template will be. Why do you want to remove it in the first place? Tomeasy T C 09:47, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
