Talk:List of towns and cities in Norway

message: I would find it really useful if this page had a map with all the cities marked on them. Would this be possible? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.111.8.103 (talk • contribs) .
*I included a map where at least some of the cities are shown. Punkmorten 20:21, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: See Cities of Norway - the content (cities ordered by population) should, I think, be merged into this article. Thanks/wangi 14:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Just be bold and do it. Remember to consult What links here and fix any issues. -- Egil 14:19, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: After 5 months without any action, I decided to be bold myself. I did not conduct the merge, but I did rewrite and move Cities of Norway. Reason: Cities of Norway did not deal with cities, but urban areas. Everything should be ok now. Punkmorten 16:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Future towns? 

message: # There are too many pictures for a list, and since the list contains unnecessary posts (like municipality in a list of cities and towns, where almost 100% have the same name) many users just can see a lot of pictures to the right and blank white space to the left. This could be solved by reducing the number of posts columns. (And make a gallery of most pictures, if all pictures really are necessary)
# The figures appear to show inhabitants of the (often very large) municipalities, rather than inhabitants of the town or city. 
# Is the year 1996 "magical" within Norwegian demography ? I would prefer one list only.

replies: text: By the earlier legislation, it was the municipalities that were towns/cities. This is reflected by the third digit in municipality number being zero for cities. In the 1990s (possibly 1996/1997), Norway formally stopped bothering with the concept of cities/towns. The formal term (as opposed to the even less precise use of the word(s) in everyday speech) is now purely a marketing gimmick, without any formal geographical definition (in most cases at least). As such, there are no sources to be found for number of inhabitants, except for the traditional "municipal cities". (The way I read the law, it is still so that only municipalities can be cities, by satisfying certain criteria, but no one seems to care. The fact that they didn't remove all mention of the city/town concept from the law altogether seems to be to not hurt the pride of existing cities/towns.) Ters (talk) 06:11, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
