Edit request: change the "shitamachi" link text to be capitalised so it says "Shitamachi" instead.

Reasons:

1. The article already refers to Shitamachi by capitalising it in other places
2. According to the Jitindex dictionary 下町 (shitamachi) has two meaning - and I think the second meaning (a proper noun that should be capitalised) is what was meant here:
   1. "① low-lying part of a city (usu. containing shops, factories, etc.)"
   2. "② Shitamachi (low-lying area of eastern Tokyo near Tokyo Bay, incl. Asakusa, Shitaya, Kanda, Fukugawa, Honjo, Nihonbashi, Kyobashi and surrounds)" ~2025-31815-35 (talk) 00:05, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

Edit request: Tokyo is now third largest, as per Press Release | Cities are home to 45 per cent of the global population, with megacities continuing to grow, UN report finds - United Nations Sustainable Development --¨¨¨¨ ModriDirkac (talk) 12:19, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Tokyo may no longer be the largest metropolitan area in the world. However, it's clear that the ranking you mentioned uses a different criterion from the one cited in this article, as the article cites Greater Tokyo's population as 41 million in 2024, while the UN ranking puts it at 33 million in 2025. For the sake of consistency, it would be kinder to readers to use figures based on the same criterion across different articles, so I'm against adopting the figure immediately until the other articles on major cities (especially those with populations over 30 million) also align on the same standard. Or perhaps we could just get rid of the ordinal figure from the lead altogether. VersedVoyager67 (talk) 13:21, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

hm. Article excerpt doesn't cite population at all and numbers in Demographics section are more aligned to UN report... --¨¨¨¨ ModriDirkac (talk) 15:24, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

1. Under the "History" section and in the "1945–1972" subsection I read "Marxian economist". Should that be "Marxist economist"?

2. Under the "Environmental policies", the entry about 2006 should probably be updated to reflect what has been accomplished 20 years later.

3. Under the "Rail" subsection, I read "Tokyo Metro is entirely owned by the Japanese Government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government since it was privatized in 2004 (it was previously a public entity called the Imperial Capital Rapid Transit Authority from 1941 to 2004), but it is scheduled to go public in 2024.[186] Other major railway operators in Tokyo include Odakyu, Tokyu, Keio, Seibu, Tobu, and Keisei. Although each operator directly owns its railway lines, services that travel across different lines owned by different operators are common." This is unclear, it can be improved and updated to 2026.

4. Under the "Sports" section a "triple disaster" is mentioned. This is vague. It needs an explanation.

For your first point, I understand that it should be Marxian and not Marxist when referring to the school of economics started by Marx, so I'd say let's keep it as it is. For the second point, this is absolutely outdated, so I'd suggest updating it or removing it altogether. As for the railway systems, Tokyo Metro did go public last year, so that should be updated as well. And as for the last point, there was once this user who kept adding the term 'triple disaster' (which was probably coined by the user himself). It's not a widely used term, nor is there an equivalent of it in the Japanese language. I'd change that to '2011 Tōhoku earthquake'. VersedVoyager67 (talk) 16:17, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
