Pune might be wrong.
editPune is #59 and is between Suzhou and Harbin. It shows those two cities as having over 6 million people but it shows Pune as having over 7 million people. This might be a mistake as someone might have accidentally put 7 instead of 6. If it were to be changed to six it would be make sense because it would be between the other two. Or it might be in the wrong place. If it were to be moved it would be at #52. 69.62.224.183 (talk) 18:38, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

The UN source is misleading, why using it?
editWhy is the population ranking in this article using the UN source as the main source? The UN source is very wrong and outdated (still using the 2018 figures), the so-called "City of Tokyo" in the UN source is actually a metropolitan area (the Greater Tokyo Area) rather than a proper city. It contains Yokohama (the second-largest city in Japan) and numerous nearby satellite cities. The real Tokyo City (consisting of the 23 special wards) only has approx. 9.7 million people. As a matter of fact, Tokyo is not the largest city in the world, not even close of being one.
This article spends a lot of energy explaining that there are mainly three different types of cities: city proper, urban area, and metropolitan area. If we study the UN source carefully, we would notice that it has mixed up these different types of cities and used all three in their population ranking. That's just misleading information for the readers. Although it was published by the UN, I reckon we should cast it away and use a better source as the main source instead. 2001:8003:9100:2C01:F5EF:C921:7B13:49DD (talk) 23:29, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Karachi Population is outdated
editThe current entry for Karachi in the list states its population to be 15 million, however according to the Wikipedia page on Karachi, as well as the Pakistan 2023 Census, the population is over 20 million. Please correct the population and the ranking of Pakistan accordingly. Thank you. 39.43.180.233 (talk) 20:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

editCan you make 300 cities on the chart. Because the chart just has plain 81 cities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MasGut (talk • contribs) 16:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
