Talk:List of countries by national capital and largest cities

message: We can either
* List Jeruslaem as Israel's capital without any qualificationsOR
* Put the qualifications how other countries maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv.
I think if we want to put the qualification, we ought to put the struggle that the United States has with this issue (i.e. the details about how Jerusalem Embassy Relocation Act).

message: A WikiWeakness is rearing its ugly head here;
•	WikiWeakness #142: Governance by consensus rather than verifiable fact allows erroneous, misleading, or disingenuous information to be present as if it is verified fact when, in reality, it is simply what the majority of people agree to allow on the page – true or not.
The third column presents cities that are larger than the capital city to the left, at least that is the explanation across the top of the page. The wording is, “In case that the capital is not the largest city, the third column gives the cities that are larger.” If that is what is being presented on this page – then WikiConsensus has given birth to yet more erroneous and misleading information.
Follow the hyperlink and check for yourself. According to the population figures presented on individual Wikipages (which are suspect at best) Dhaka is considerably larger than Chittagong, yet Chittagong is presented as being larger. For Bhutan; Thimphu is presented as being smaller than Phuentsholing. For Uganda Kampala is presented as being smaller than Entebbe. The list goes on, and on, and on…
Either the wording needs to be corrected, i.e. get rid of the sentence , “In case that the capital is not the largest city, the third column gives the cities that are larger,” because it is simply incorrect, or the layout of the table needs to be altered to truthfully present cities ranked by population.

message: : Lisbon (...) is the capital and largest city of Portugal.  (from the Lisbon article.)
Lisbon states that Lisbon is the largest city in Portugal. I truly believe Lisbon's bigger than Porto, as stated there, although as I'm not sure, I'll not change this list. jοτομικρόν | Talk 23:25, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The map shows Sudan as a country which has a capital that is not the largest city.  The Khartoum article claims that Khartoum is the capital but the second largest city.  It doesn't give the largest city.
This article does not give a larger city in the table even though it is on the map —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Evilbu (talk • contribs) .

message: Since Somaliland and Northern Cyprus (or if I must, Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) are listed in the "List of Countries" article, shouldn't they be listed here as well?  Alternatively, to stay consistant between articles, should there be a table for the countries listed as "states lacking general international recognition" (unless I'm stirring up a bee's nest here) including Western Sahara, Palestine, Northern Cyprus/TRNC, Transnistria/Pridnestrovie, Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhasia, South Ossetia, and Somaliland?

replies: text: Why Chechnya is still in the list? There could be some dispute about whether Chechen rebels control any significant territory, but undoubtedly Grozny is controlled by Russians (and Chechens loyal to Russia). On the other hand there is no Northern Cyprus and Somaliland capitals.Alaexis 17:33, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed Chechnya and added Somaliland and Northern Cyprus. Btw, what about Taiwan? It is not recognised by the majority of other countries and does not have a seat at the UN. Should it be moved to the aspirant states category or not?Alaexis 16:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed Spanish Provinces, Italian Islands, Corsica and United Kingdom constituences (Wales, Scotland, England). They are not dependent territories and their inclusion IMO opens a Pandora's box of nationalism, as well as a path for inclusion of all possible "subnational entities". Countries have different levels of autonomy of its sub-entities, but we should stick to dependent territories as defined in that article. Duja► 10:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The British "countries" do not possess sovereignty. The UK is a unitary state; the "countries" have less autonomy than the components of federations such as the US States, Canadian Provinces, and the States of Australia. Do you want to add hundreds of items to this list just so it can include Belfast? 23:18, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
