Glasgow on Mars

I find this section unconvincing - the references don't suggest anywhere on Mars specifically named after Glasgow, and 'ponit' looks like a typo. Mdrb55 (talk) 23:28, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Population rank for Europe is using metro area

The source used for it is for metro area instead of city limits, which the other 2 sources use — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smoceany2 (talk • contribs) 18:20, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ranking

The text says 'as of 2011': is it long enough yet after the 2021 census to update the year? Jackiespeel (talk) 10:28, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The 2021 Census was deferred to 2022 in Scotland. In any case, the demographic results of the analysis of Census data are not usually published until at least a year after the Census date. Archon 2488 (talk) 10:44, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can the ranking be re-dated from other sources? Jackiespeel (talk) 16:28, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In principle, yes, there are other reliable sources for demographic data about Glasgow, such as The National Records of Scotland estimates. I guess it's not really ideal to mix'n'match data from such disparate sources (which naturally use different methodologies, variously to estimate or calculate the population, in different years) if your overall objective is to construct an overall consistent ranking of cities by population – if this is what you are thinking of. If nothing else, this seems likely to be considered WP:OR. I don't know of any UK-wide source of demographic data, known to be accurate to a particular year, that would allow such a comparison/ranking. There are also ONS estimates but I haven't looked in enough detail to see if they offer the kind of granularity you'd need (i.e. city-by-city comparisons) for this purpose.

Another question is, can it really not wait until 2023-24, when the new Census data is fully available? Archon 2488 (talk) 17:50, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
