Inconsistent Data

Data is not consistent on any of the city population pages. They should all cite the same source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.146.96.151 (talk) 16:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

London is below Shanghai in the list of agglomerations but is also listed as having a larger population— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.79.17 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 30 November 2008

Big problems here

Parts of the article read like a talk page. This needs a major cleanup. Admiral Norton ^(talk) 17:16, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

French concept

The comparison with the French & Swiss concepts may mean something like this, but it is so unclear that I have placed it in abeyance:

The concepts of Aire Urbaine in France or agglomération in Switzerland are based on a criterion that at least 40% of traffic flows from outlying areas are to the central built up area).

And by the way although the word 'ventral' does exist, it is clearly not meant here. TobyJ (talk) 07:37, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

in chemistry/physics it has a different meaning. Need disambiguation page?

At the "Nanoparticle" it speaks of agglomeration: "Uncontrolled agglomeration of powders due to attractive van der Waals forces can also give rise to in microstructural inhomogeneities." and also here However, free nanoparticles in the environment quickly tend to agglomerate and thus leave the nano-regime, and nature itself presents many nanoparticles to which organisms on earth may have evolved immunity (such as salt particulates from ocean aerosols, terpenes from plants, or dust from volcanic eruptions).... so we need to cover the other meaning of "Agglomeration" in accord with nano-technologies. 4.242.174.119 (talk) 08:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agglomeration → Urban agglomeration — The current article title is not precise enough: the dictionary definition of 'agglomeration' simply means "the process of collecting in a mass" or "a cluster of disparate elements"[1]. Pondle (talk) 00:25, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support, a dab page should exist at "agglomeration", since there are many meanings. 70.29.210.242 (talk) 04:03, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support, it is more clear and "urban agglomeration" is certainly well used in academic circles. --Mcorazao (talk) 18:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose of French translation?

Hi, what is the purpose of the sentence "In France, INSEE the French Statistical Institute, translate it as "Unité urbaine" which means continuous urbanized area." That seems quite random in context, and does not convey any useful information in this article. If it even belongs here, I do not think it belongs in the summary. What is the reason for it?

Post-AfD notes

Now that the AfD closed as redirect (here), I thought I'd check the sources for re-use at the redirect target, Urban area - arthapedia.in was interesting, so I updated its India section, thefreedictionary.com does not really say anything about urban agglomerations, and definitions.net seems to have a copy of this article!
