Should the infobox example on the guideline be updated to reflect the changes made in major cities' articles? The guideline uses New York City as an example, but the infobox in the New York City article has been updated. Xeror ( talk) 07:49, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
I believe the "Rankings" section of this guideline should be removed. The request for comment that this section cites posed a narrow question as to whether or not a specific list from Money magazine should be included on a specific city's page. IMO this does not support the blanket statement that the request for comment concluded that ALL lists of a similar type (subjective) do not belong on a city's Wikipedia page. Each publication and each survey uses varying standards, some of which are more subjective and some more objective and statistically-sound. 76.232.123.103 ( talk) 22:08, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Huge numbers of articles for places in the United States use pushpin maps in the settlement infobox, but there seems to be little standardization and / or consensus as to which maps to include. Even the guidelines are inconsistent. WP:USCITY shows a model infobox for New York City with maps for New York state, the United States and North America, while the actual article for New York City includes maps for all three, plus Earth. Meanwhile, Template:Infobox settlement shows model infoboxes for Chicago and Detroit that only include a single pushpin map for the United States, while the article for Chicago itself includes both Illinois and United States and the one for Detroit shows pushpin maps for Wayne County, Michigan and United States.
To me, county, state and United States make sense to provide multiple levels of context. But given that the United States is a rather large and rather well-known country, is it ever necessary to include pushpin maps for North America? Is there anyone reading English Wikipedia articles from outside the country (or from another planet) who would need to have the location of a city in the United States shown on the planet Earth in order to gain sufficient context? Should there be a US City standard or should this be settled by consensus for each city? Alansohn ( talk) 13:58, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
There is a lively discussion at Talk:Butler, Pennsylvania#Remove Trump Shooting?? which may benefit from editors familiar with US city articles. Magnolia677 ( talk) 20:30, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
