Urban population[edit]

Source for provincial and district populations: https://www.citypopulation.de/php/turkey-admin.php?adm1id=TR100 {{cite}} tags does not work in {{efn}}. Erkinalp9035 (talk) 09:13, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Citypopulation.de gives the population figures for all the districts, but doesn't distinguish between urban and rural. The question is how do we know which districts are rural? Batternut (talk) 19:03, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
Using commonly accepted criteria by urban planners: Spread-out lights in night orthophoto. Continuously lighted-up parts are all urban. Such a practice has been done in https://www.int-arch-photogramm-remote-sens-spatial-inf-sci.net/XLII-4-W6/103/2017/isprs-archives-XLII-4-W6-103-2017.pdf. Figure 3 in that article can trivially be laid over a freely licensed geographical map, you will get your urban districts.

See the article Istanbul Province. Boccadasse (talk) 08:06, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

See also List of districts of Istanbul. Boccadasse (talk) 08:22, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
@Boccadasse: None of these articles cite any source that says which districts are rural and which are urban. And obviously you cannot use WP articles as a source (see WP:CIRCULAR). Batternut (talk) 08:57, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

maps saying constsantinople[edit]

are you people blind or did you purposely put the location name of Istanbul on the maps in the infobox as Contstantinople? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgepodros (talkcontribs) 10:02, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for noting this; it was a piece of recent vandalism that unfortunately slipped through; now fixed. Fut.Perf. 10:57, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
