[edit] Fictitious Shinjuku Skyline

The composite picture of the Shinjuku Skyline with a prominent mount Fuji in the background is a pure fiction, and it seems very misleading to feature the picture in the article with no mention of the fictitious composition. Someone might actually try climbing the Bunkyo civic center and be disappointed when they find there's no mount Fuji there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.129.44.88 (talk) 06:29, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Actually it's not fiction, and there is no reason to believe the photo is a composite. If you do a Google search, you will find plenty of other similar photos taken from the same location. On a clear winter morning, anyone with a telephoto lens can take similar pictures from high vantage points in central Tokyo. --DAJF (talk) 06:57, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Article title and scope

I was reading the Swedish Wikipedia article on Tokyo and I was rather confused over the fact that there was no link to English Wikipedia. Then I realized that there is in fact no corresponding English article to that of sv:Tokyo. This article, Tokyo, seems to cover the administrative unit Tokyo Metropolis, while there is no article about the city area that is commonly known as Tokyo. I realize that this subject has been discussed before, but I think there are many good arguments for having a separate article about the administrative unit (the prefecture), and one article about the non-administrative city area, named Tokyo, similar to articles like Stockholm, Paris and Sydney.

Having two separate articles would make linking consistent to common language, such as in the following sentenece: :The Bonin Islands are an archipelago some 1,000 kilometres directly south of Tokyo, Japan. Administratively, they are part of the prefecture Tokyo Metropolis. (Although the name "Tokyo Metropolis" is rather confusing here). --Kildor (talk) 08:32, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
