Other major cities
What is the definition of "major cities"? The list seems rather too long to me. We could use a population of 200,000. 174.67.226.163 (talk) 03:06, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Greater Los Angeles: 18.3 million residents, not 20.6 million
It seems that some "boosters" were out in force, replacing official U.S. Census Bureau data with unofficial population projections from the California Dept. of Finance (but retaining the US Census Bureau label). This is not acceptable in Wikipedia, where the only valid source for demographic data in article ledes and infoboxes is the U.S. Census Bureau; this cannot be altered. I just corrected the erroneous data using U.S. Census 2023 estimates for all Greater Los Angeles demographic components. (Note that the 2024 numbers won't be released from the U.S. Census Bureau until March 2025, so 2023 totals are the ones we currently use in WP infoboxes and city articles.) All data should match the listings in Wikipedia articles Metropolitan statistical area and Combined statistical area. California county population numbers should match List of the most populous counties in the United States. Mason.Jones (talk) 16:13, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
