Is this the right place[edit]

should we be repeating lists from nationmaster.com? Seems poor work for wikipedia Polargeo (talk) 11:49, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

there are other sources with the sames numbers Polylepsis (talk) 11:53, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not for original reasearch. --Yowuza yadderhouse | meh 12:05, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is not original research Polylepsis (talk) 12:24, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't saying it was. --Yowuza yadderhouse | meh 12:26, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ok, sorry Polylepsis (talk) 12:29, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still appears to be a repetition of nationmaster.com with no further sources. I am tempted to take this to AfD. Polargeo (talk) 12:50, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i will add other sources Polylepsis (talk) 13:30, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Urban World Population[edit]

At the top of the list, you could possibly do the total world's urban population?--Pianoplonkers♫^(talk) 11:59, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done Polylepsis (talk) 12:29, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bangladesh[edit]

Bangladesh has about 40 million urban population, so it should be included. I don't know what the concrete number is and I don't want to make it up myself, so if someone can find a source (more recent than nationmaster.com), please add Bangladesh to the list. 77.70.30.216 (talk) 14:56, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Urbanized population as percent of total?[edit]

Can figures showing the percentage of each country's total population that is urbanized be added? Wikipedia has the total population figures [[1]]. Is it possible/legit to have a bot do the math periodically? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.195.160.44 (talk) 19:43, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think this list is silly/broken because of the obvious reason that the countries with the largest populations such as China will be very high on the list. It would be much more interesting if this list is changed to have the nations ranked by the percentage of the population that is urbanized. 92.220.73.60 (talk) 01:27, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
