Hi, Pjred. Thanks for correcting me about Cape Town. Do you have a reference? Axl ( talk) 19:46, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello and thank you for your facts and comments about Copenhagen. You wrote that the area of Hovedstadsområdet is unknown. The article [1] says that the area of Hovedstadsområdet area is 455,61 km2. This figure appears here and there and it makes me a bit confused. For instance: Let's make a comperison between the urban areas (tätort/byområde) of Stockholm and Copenhagen:
Stockholm: [2] Population: 1.250.020 Area: 377,3 km² Density: 3318 pr. km²
Copenhagen: [3] Population: 1.153.615 Area: 455,61 km² Density: 2514 pr. km²
Considering Copenhagen as the most densely populated urban area of Scandinavia, it is striking to see that Stockholm urban area would be more densely populated than Copenhagen according to this comparison. I do however suspect that this is not the whole truth. According to [4] and [5] the Hovedstadsområdet formerly included every municipality where at least one part was included in the continously built up area. I think that the figure 455,61 km² corresponds to this area. Could it be so do you think/know? -- Nirro ( talk) 14:09, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Dear Pjred, I have never disputed your statements! What I wrote was that Dizbad had no Wikipedia entry of its own. On this you responded by suggesting that I should be writing an entry on the place. That would indeed be a very appropriate thing to do were it not that at present I do not have any time for this undertaking (without that I have already my hands full). I have included those external links concerning Dizbad in the entry concerning Mashhad for two main reasons: firstly, that entry is likely to draw the attention of those who know most about Dizbad and can possibly write about it (I imagine that those who ever have edited the entry on Mashhad, have placed it on their watch list - one reason why you noticed my yesterday's edit); secondly, having the links there will make me to write, at some later point in time, an entry for Dizbad; without saving those references in the entry on Mashhad, I would most likely forget about the links and all the related issues. As it stands, the most prominent location to which Dizbad is closest is Mashhad (also
Neyshabur, to whose Wikipedia entry I have also added the same external links). Your suggestion to put the links elsewhere, makes little practical sense, because entries concerning minor places are not visited as frequently as those of major places, such as Mashhad (in this way, no one capable of writing about Dizbad is very likely to see the external links concerning Dizbad and thus be encouraged to write about it).
I trust that you will accept the above reasons and will not create a needless conflict between us for a very minor issue. With kind regards,

Since you seem to be pretty knowledgeable about this sort of thing, I wonder if you could help me with something. I'm trying to get relatively good population data for basically the top 1000 cities in the world. (Doesn't need to be perfect, just, you know, plausible.) I was using World Gazetteer as a source, mainly because it's the only one I've seen with a list that comes anywhere close to the number of entries I need. (Only 850-odd, but that's over twice what anybody else has.) It has its flaws of course, some of which you noted, along with others such as duplicate entries (Nigeria in particular seems to have almost every major city listed twice for some reason), and I'm also not crazy about the way they've lumped together nearby cities, especially when they cross international lines. (Detroit/Windsor, Kinshasa/Brazzaville, etc.) Do you know of any consolidated source for this sort of data? I tried all the ones you listed on your sources pages. I like citypopulation.de, but their list is less than half of what I need. Others seem to have the data, but I'd have to go through city by city one page at a time to get it all, which would take forever. Just wondering if you've got any recommendations.

I appreciate you updating some population numbers, but following your source for the new Dhaka population number takes you to a page that shows the population of the city corporation being 5.3 million, not the +6 million you list. What's up with that? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 03:52, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Source for the 1,300 sq km number, it also gives the area for the New Delhi MC and the Delhi Cantonment.
http://www.niua.org/city_des.asp?title=Delhi
It would appear that the Delhi MC administers the vast majority of land with the National Capital Territory, with only two other cities administering the rest.
The Delhi MC administers parts of all nine districts in the NCT, the New Delhi MC administers all of the land in the New Delhi District, and the Delhi Cantonment administers part of the land in South West Delhi, with Delhi MC administering the remainder.
Lastly, the New Delhi Municipal Corporation says that the Delhi Municipal Corporations administers the area of 96% of the area within the National Capital Territory and the New Delhi Municipal Corporation only 3% ( http://www.ndmc.gov.in/AboutNDMC/NAboutus.aspx). Hope that helps.

Hi. I recently overhauled the List of metropolitan areas in Europe by population to a multi-column table with a different source for each column. I would like to add official definitions of either the metropolitan area or the agglomeration but the only country with a true metropolitan area definition (core urban area + labor pool defined by commuting) that I am currently aware of is France. I suppose it's possible to use an appropriate administrative unit as a proxy but then the issue is how one chooses it without getting into original research. Anyway, your input on the European metropolitan area list would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Polaron | Talk 13:55, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
