References and citations[edit]

Much of the specific information about each popular neighbourhood seemed to be unreferenced. I'll try to fill in what I can with the various guide books I have, but it would be great if some folks with more experience could help out here. - Sirfeathers (talk) 08:30, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

General style and content[edit]

Many of the sights and attractions mentioned in this article have their own pages. I think the descriptions of these sights can be trimmed accordingly. Thoughts? -Sirfeathers (talk) 02:39, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Popular neighbourhoods[edit]

The introduction to this section is vague, a little subjective, and is mostly covered by the Madrid entry. To focus and streamline this, I think all the text before 'Some of the most well-known "barrios" in Madrid are:' should be removed. Thoughts?

Also, it is unclear how this section relates to the list of divisions and wards in the previous section. Presumably the divisions and wards are official designations, while the 'neighbourhoods' refer to less well-defined areas. If so, the title of this article is a bit misleading - most of the description is of neighbourhoods rather than districts. - Sirfeathers (talk) 02:16, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that the current page defines barrio to mean a ward. If so, then the reference to 'well known barrios' is quite confusing, as some of the neighbourhoods on the list are not mentioned in the previous section - either those lists are incomplete or the reference to barrios should be dropped entirely. - Sirfeathers (talk) 02:24, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CTBA (Cuatro Torres Business Area)[edit]

Can someone please verify that these skyscrapers have been completed? Many of the records in this section may now be dated. - Sirfeathers (talk) 06:55, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganization?[edit]

Might it be better to reorganize this page to be more similar to that of the corresponding page on Wikipedia Español? The section on "Popular neighbohoods" seems confusing, since none of the areas listed are distritos or barrios. Most are given pages as significant metro stops, but that's it. Perhaps instead some more information about the distritos would be more appropriate? —2macia22 (talk) 17:17, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
