Flag

Minor detail I noticed: this article states that Glasgow has a flag and shows a picture for it.

However, being from Glasgow myself and never having seen nor heard of this flag previously, I checked with the Flag Institute and they've confirmed that the city doesn't have any flags registered with them.

As disappointing as that is. 2A02:C7C:D229:DE00:24F7:40FD:69FB:5B4F (talk) 18:05, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I was the one who approved your edit (as it does have merit) and also opened up the discussion on the Talk page of the file in Commons.

There's some info there saying that a flag of some sort for Glasgow does exist, but I'm still trying to figure out if it's sufficient grounds enough to include it here seeing as there's really no reliable secondary sources as of yet.

Other editors might want to chime in there if they're interested. Thanks! PritongKandule-✉️📝 08:40, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

uncategorized images

Hi, I found a lot of uncategorized images recently uploaded to commons with about 700 being in Glasgow and around [1] (all of them having location info) - zoom in to Glasgow. These images would need proper categorization. Anybody who wants to care? best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 10:30, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

City Population

Hi, I don't really edit Wikipedia often so forgive me if this is the wrong way to go about it, but at the top of the article it says that Glasgow has the third highest population out of UK cities, however the page that links to shows it's the fifth most populous UK city (and I don't even know if that's right because World Population Review says it's seventh, and there might be even more conflicting information out there). I'd love if someone who's savvier at this site than I am could double-check and/or correct this mistake. 172.56.105.180 (talk) 04:15, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Agree, clearly misleading to suggest it’s the third biggest city on its own (when this is just considering ‘de jure’ cities proper), which in the UK is very arbitrary considering it’s just places awarded the status. Needs a qualifier, as it’s not the third largest in most accepted meanings to include in the lead AlbusWulfricDumbledore (talk) 15:46, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Not quite sure what you mean as the list linked does show Glasgow is the third most populous de jure city in the UK. The list isn't automatically sorted by population, you have to click the arrows next to the header. There's also the list of most populous urban areas in the UK, which does show Greater Glasgow as fifth, but that's somewhat different as many urban areas contain several cities.

Looking at the World Population Review page, it seems to be largely based on census data from 2010, while the Wikipedia list uses data from 2022. It also says that Glasgow is the seventh and sixth largest city in the same page so I'm not sure it's the most reliable. RootVegetableFan (talk) 17:06, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
