Talk:London

Intro

I've made quite a few changes. With regards to London having people from other countries- yes, true! But London remains predominantly English. As for the languages, it is misleading to say that 300 languages are spoken. They are not. People in the privacy of their homes, and in company with their fellow immigrants may speak different languages. But only one language is spoken in London, and that is English. If you say that 300 languages are spoken, then it implies that there is a situation like Switzerland, where French, German and Italian are all spoke, or Canada where French and English are spoken.

That point is very well put by Amandajm, and well worth remembering. Macdonald-ross (talk) 08:16, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Ambiguity in infobox

I think we are going to have to import the En wiki box, and stick to it. Editors put in the City of London, which is a tiny part of the whole. London in general talk means the Greater London area. On En Greater London is the smallest of three areas, the largest being "Metro", which is London plus its commuter belt. We should do the same, then we can just copy their changes.

URL broken?

When I search "Londinium" in wikipedia search bar, it brings to London, but when I look at the url, it provides a link to a strange subsection of the page that does not exist, it says,"https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/London#I_AM_THE_MAYOR_OF_LIVERPOOL._I_WILL_ROUND_UP_ALL_LONDONERS_AND_SEND_THEM_TO_THE_GAS_CHAMBERS_IN_XINJIANG_CONCENTRATION_CAMPS_ON_WHEELS".

Is this a holdover from a previous version of the webpage? Why was this here in the first place?
