This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Edit request: change the "shitamachi" link text to be capitalised so it says "Shitamachi" instead.
Reasons:
The article already refers to Shitamachi by capitalising it in other places
According to the Jitindex dictionary 下町 (shitamachi) has two meaning - and I think the second meaning (a proper noun that should be capitalised) is what was meant here:
"① low-lying part of a city (usu. containing shops, factories, etc.)"
"② Shitamachi (low-lying area of eastern Tokyo near Tokyo Bay, incl. Asakusa, Shitaya, Kanda, Fukugawa, Honjo, Nihonbashi, Kyobashi and surrounds)" ~2025-31815-35 (talk) 00:05, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Tokyo may no longer be the largest metropolitan area in the world. However, it's clear that the ranking you mentioned uses a different criterion from the one cited in this article, as the article cites Greater Tokyo's population as 41 million in 2024, while the UN ranking puts it at 33 million in 2025. For the sake of consistency, it would be kinder to readers to use figures based on the same criterion across different articles, so I'm against adopting the figure immediately until the other articles on major cities (especially those with populations over 30 million) also align on the same standard. Or perhaps we could just get rid of the ordinal figure from the lead altogether. VersedVoyager67 (talk) 13:21, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
