There's three cities on the northern shore of Lake Ontario with over a million people? Chicago only gets one dot? The first picture one sees in this article about urban areas is Toronto? This map (and the article) needs to be written with a more global perspective.--Antigrandiose (talk) 20:11, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those would be Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa. The last two are a bit too far east, but that's okay - people don't look at this map to locate Montreal and Ottawa.theBOBbobato (talk) 02:17, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strange, this map seems to show 5 cities in the UK with >1m inhabitants, but the cited data only shows two. Hairy Dude 15:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, there are 5 British cities with >1m inhabitants. The remaining three cities apear in the ranks 300-400 in the link provided.Anwar 16:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There should be two dots in Alberta, Canada, not one (Calgary and Edmonton have approximately the same population)

Edmonton is not included in the source table.Anwar 12:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sofia, Bulgaria, has 1,200,000 inhabitants! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minimala (talkcontribs) 18:36, 9 August 2007‎ (UTC)[reply]

That map shows a lot of cities with more than 1 million inhabitants in Germany. There are only three of them: Berlin, Munich, Hamburg. Cologne has nearly one million. But there are not about 15 as shown in the map 84.63.44.32 18:59, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the Netherlands has no cities with over a million inhabitants, but it looks like on the map it has two. Could someone just completely redo this map, it's way off. 118.137.196.84 17:34, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think this map shows cities with over 500.000 inhabitants, not 1 million. Helsinki has really got 550.000 inhabitants, and USA has actually 9 cities with over a million inhabitants. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilyushka88 (talkcontribs) 12:47, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
you're right 500,000 would make a lot more sense --Lamadude 13:31, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This map should be deleted, it's obviously wrong. Just take a look at Germany. Also, there are no >1 million cities in the benelux, unless you count Brussels (but brussels city is technically very small, just like london city.) Delete please --Lamadude 13:25, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes,the map is simply wrong, delete now! --Englishazadipedia (talk) 12:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


OK, be bold, delete it then! --Bridgecross (talk) 02:46, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This map goes by urban areas rather than the actual boundaries of the cities, so I think it has value if that is kept in mind. The data comes form http://citymayors.com/statistics/urban_intro.html. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.218.153.85 (talk) 00:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In poland there is only one City >1M inhabitants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.53.163.50 (talk) 14:34, 28 March 2009‎ (UTC)[reply]

Missing Ukraine cities[edit]

In aadition to the two shown cities (apparently Kyiv and Kharkiv, the following cities in Ukraine also have over 1M population: Dnipropetrovsk Donetsk Odessa — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.133.161.42 (talk) 19:32, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns about continued use[edit]

Decision on the proposed deletion:

"Kept: still in use. it should be orphaned/replaced before it can be deleted FASTILY "

I accept that, but nothing is resolved re the inaccurate name and many other concerns mentioned on this page. Should a systematic attempt be made to orphan it, and who is able to replace it? --Chriswaterguy (talk) 00:57, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
