A change in administrative boundaries does not automatically result in a change in urban area boundaries. The list this template follows is derived from a delineation method that ignores administrative boundaries and only looks at continuous urbanization. --Polaron | Talk 15:36, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-08-01T15:36:00.000Z","author":"Polaron","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Polaron-2008-08-01T15:36:00.000Z-Mr_Vinx-2008-08-01T15:06:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I noticed that all of the metro area links are linked to the cities. Since we are listing urban areas, shouldn't the metro area be linked instead?

Düsseldorf is not part of the Ruhr Area! Düsseldorf is situated on the Rhine, if you want to name a second city, you might consider Dortmund —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.241.165.87 (talk) 23:12, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-05-06T23:12:00.000Z","author":"79.241.165.87","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-79.241.165.87-2010-05-06T23:12:00.000Z-Ruhr_Area","replies":[]}}-->

There is a discrepancy between this template and the data in the List of urban areas by population as compiled by Demographia. Is there a reason for that or did it just run out of sync? If there are no objections, I'll update this template to match Demographia's 2012 data.
