[edit] Svalbard

Should cities of Svalbard be here or there?

"There". It should include both Russian and Norwegian settlements and a place like Pyramiden (an abandoned Russian settlement) should not be on a list of Norwegian cities. The title "List of cities in Svalbard" should also be changed to something like "List of settlements on Svalbard" (if that makes sense to the English speaking readers). Also see my comment on Svalbard an Jan Mayen status on Talk:Norway. -- Gustavf Tue Jan 28 15:14:26 CET 2003

Bjørnøya is not a town, surely. Also, I don't think it is part of Svalbard, so it is even more misleading. Since this is a list of cities, none of the Svalbard places qualify anyway -- Egil

Bjørnøya is definetely a settlement, and in fact (even though it is far from Spitsbergen) it _is_ a part of Svalbard islands. About cities and settlements, I can agree with you, but they were in the list, I just refined the list according to a prior comment, and the facts that some settlements were missing. As was (I later recalled) Advent City (Adventsbyen) (abandoned). -- Chrmb

OK. Made a new list, list of settlements in Svalbard. None of the settlements would qualify as a "city", anyway. Egil 13:16 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Map

I would find it really useful if this page had a map with all the cities marked on them. Would this be possible? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.111.8.103 (talk • contribs) .

  • I included a map where at least some of the cities are shown. Punkmorten 20:21, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

See Cities of Norway - the content (cities ordered by population) should, I think, be merged into this article. Thanks/wangi 14:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Just be bold and do it. Remember to consult What links here and fix any issues. -- Egil 14:19, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
After 5 months without any action, I decided to be bold myself. I did not conduct the merge, but I did rewrite and move Cities of Norway. Reason: Cities of Norway did not deal with cities, but urban areas. Everything should be ok now. Punkmorten 16:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Future towns?

This is original research, so it's not going in the article. But these are places that might seek town status in the future:

This is just my speculation. Punkmorten 11:38, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cities without 0 as third digit

What on earth is that supposed to mean? -Oreo Priest 00:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

It is described in the text body. Punkmorten 09:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
It is, and from what I can ascertain this today has no bearing on the city status of any given community. Therefore I propose we de-emphasize this item, particularly dissolve the partition into two different tables based on this archaic measure. Instead, I suggest we point out cities with less than 5,000 inhabitants. Perhaps we should call these towns and the rest cities? __meco (talk) 20:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
