message: This entire article is extremely biased and does not back up a lot of claims with sources. Seriously, did an aide for the mayor of Port Harcourt write this? --JOK3R 17:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: , there's a difference between Port Harcourt metropolis and Greater Port Harcourt. Port Harcourt Metropolis is made up of two local government areas Port Harcourt local government area and Obio-Akpor while Greater Port Harcourt is composed of 8 local government areas. The population of Port Harcourt metropolis is that of Port Harcourt local government area and Obio-Akpor while that of Greater Port Harcourt is the population of all 8 local government areas. The Port Harcourt urban area is the Port Harcourt metropolis while the metropolitan area is the Greater Port Harcourt. Please read the Geography section of this article for more information.

replies: text: *Okay then, can you provide an official source defining these two local Government as one entity of Port Harcourt? If not, I'm afraid we'll have to revert the population of the City proper, back to just Port Harcourt Local Government Area, since you pointed out the entity I added in not appropriate for this page. The geography section is not well cited. We both know Wikipedia works based on Reliable sources. Regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 15:20, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *I just changed the stats back to appropriate figures, based on official figures. Regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 15:53, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Here are some sources 1, 2, 3, Port Harcourt Medical Journal, Volume 2 pg. 28 and Sexual Behavior of Adolescents in Contemporary Sub-Saharan Africa, Volume 11 pg. 150. Stanleytux (talk) 17:04, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The figures from the demographia source have also been added. Stanleytux (talk) 17:29, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *Thanks for clarifying the info about the LGA. I have corrected the stats based on this info. The figures are perfect as they are now. If you feel any of the figures are incorrect, please reach-out here before altering the figures, to avoid editwarring. Regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 21:44, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Where did you get the figures 2,340,000?, the demografia source published 1,865,000 and the figures were published in April 2016 and not in 2014. The official name is wrong and it is not sourced. Stanleytux (talk) 04:05, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *Yes you're right about the urban area, that's a mistake. I'll correct it now.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 16:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also, per the sources above confirming that the Port Harcourt urban area = Port Harcourt metropolis, the new figures released by demografia applies to the metropolis. Stanleytux (talk) 17:12, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *No it doesn't. The area cited for the urban area in demographia is different from the one of PH's 2 LGAs. city/metropolis proper, Urban area and metro area, are very different concepts. They can never be the same.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 17:21, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

text: you got it wrong. Never mentioned metro area, was only saying that the sources confirms the Port Harcourt urban area as the Port Harcourt metropolis,  hence wherever we see Port Harcourt urban area we know it's about the Port Harcourt metropolis. The metro area or metropolitan area of Port Harcourt is the Greater Port Harcourt while its urban area is the metropolis, according to sources. Where did you get the figures 1,005,904? Stanleytux (talk) 17:44, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *I mentioned the three definitions, so you can understand the three concepts. Publications are notorious for mixing up definitions...that's why I refered you to the Wikipedia pages, so you know exactly what a city proper and an urban area is. The source of the metropolis population is the National Population Figures, it is cited in the infobox. It is obtained by adding the two LGAs that makeup PH...That is how the other Nigerian cities' populations are given on Wiki, for consistency.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 17:51, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Or maybe i misundertood you, are you saying that the metropolis is not a single entity/city proper of Port Harcourt, as you convinced me earlier? If that is the case, then the population in that aspect should be changed to just the Port Harcourt LGA.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 17:54, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is pretty simple. Per sources, Port Harcourt metropolis is a combination of two LGAs, Port Harcourt LGA and Obio-Akpor. This Port Harcourt metropolis is also known as Port Harcourt urban area. you can call it whichever way. Now going by this, the figures released by Demografia in 2016 is for the Port Harcourt urban area right? if yes, then it is also for the Port Harcourt metropolis. You still don't agree? Stanleytux (talk) 18:08, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: *The population for the 2 LGAs in the PH metropolis is given by the National Population commission, and that is what has been added. The Demographia list, ranks URBAN AREAS all over the world, and no where in the ranking does it say the Urban Area it gave for PH is exclusively the total Sum of PH's LGAs. Infact, the Area it gave is smaller than PH's area, which may mean that the urban area consists of just a fraction of Port Harcourt Metropolis, and adjoining dense areas outside the metropolis . This discussion is starting to get cyclical. Get familiar with Wikipedia's definitions, it's not about what "people call it", it is about what it is, based on standard definitions.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 18:21, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
