My suggestion is to add in the first paragraph: Moscow is the third-most-populated capital in the world. 108.7.77.5 (talk) 18:01, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not done, would need a reliable source, and such claims are always very dependent on how administrative lines are drawn and cities are defined. CMD (talk) 02:00, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- the source is ironically Wikipedia, lol. Wikipedia states that as fact. the source (reliability could be questioned) is the Russian government itself. however, Google disputes that fact. Shanghai is stated there at 26 million residents. Jmurphy042000 (talk) 23:28, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Jmurphy042000, Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Please see Reliability of Wikipedia, Citing Wikipedia, Wikipedia is not a reliable source, Why wikipedia is not so great. also read Replies to common objections of Wikipedia. kemel49(connect)(contri) 10:21, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
- @KEmel49 isn't that a little... ironic or redundant. so we take the time to make this site as valid and accurate as possible and then when using said site that's "not accurate or valid"? would you like the original source instead? do I really have to get the original source from the page for it to be "ok"? sources have to be valid, this making the article valid, correct? so what exactly is the issue. Jmurphy042000 (talk) 10:28, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- also, what is a valid source then? do a simple Google search, and the numbers vary but up to 8-10 million inhabitants. so what exactly is valid? that is not to be rude or ignorant. This is a genuine question because if the largest free encyclopedia isn't valid, what is valid? Russia? the world atlas? satista? I understand that people can edit articles. However, if we ourselves call this site invalid or unreliable sources, what exactly are we doing with our time??? the more people put that out there, instead of making it valid, it will always have that negative association. what is the point of Wikipedia then? there are reasons everything is double-checked and validated. however, what is reliable? What site or source is the most valid and incorruptible source out there? Jmurphy042000 (talk) 10:35, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- I have already provided some essays which are sufficient enough to your questions. i think you also need to see Are Wikis Reliable Source? kemel49(connect)(contri) 13:10, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Global City

I can't edit the page yet, but according to GaWC (the source used in the text), Moscow is no longer a global city, so that bit should be removed. | Petnog (talk) 17:04, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit extended-protected}}template. M.Bitton (talk) 22:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Change the number of the stations of Moscow Metro to 271 and the number of metro lines to 15 (the line 14 is Moscow Central Circle, which is mentioned in the article separately), as well as in the Moscow Central Diameters part: the D3 line was opened on August 17th 2023, D4 line - September 9th 2023. As for trolleyuses - currently there is only one route - T - also known as the "museum route", as most trolleys were replaced by either buses or electric battery buses. Kurimir (talk) 19:11, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
- Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. TNM101 (chat) 14:30, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
Title photo appears to be edited
Title photo showing Red Square appears to be manipulated: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Moscow&_welcomesurveytoken=pccaj4hniqqct693fn1ilk1fp76u5iir&source=welcomesurvey-originalcontext#/media/File:Saint_Basil's_Cathedral_and_the_Red_Square.jpg
One can not see Ostankino TV tower from the Moskvoretskiy Bridge where this photo seems to be taken from. Here is the real view: https://www.gettyimages.ie/detail/photo/the-moscow-kremlin-and-red-square-as-seen-from-royalty-free-image/971968572?adppopup=true
