Standardization

Some dates are still displayed in mdy format in this article even if the dates should be in dmy, according to the template. I also can't locate the CIA ref, so it makes changing this article harder. Romer234 (talk) 12:25, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Census 2022 results

The 2022 Census figures were just released https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiNWUzMjQwOWMtZjFhOS00NjczLTk0YTItNjcwZmRmY2YxMjkyIiwidCI6ImYxNThhMmU4LWNhZWMtNDQwNi1iMGFiLWY1ZTI1OWJkYTExMiJ9. The data indicates that Guayaquil is still Ecuador's largest city, and supersedes previous projections by Ecuador's National Institute of Statistics and Censuses that estimated that Quito had more inhabitants than Guayaquil by 2019. In addition to this, all population values (national and subnational) need to be updated to reflect the latest available data. I tried to do it, but the census data link was blacklisted for some reason. Cello0894 (talk) 01:04, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-I just reverted the largest city back to Guayaquil. From the numbers on Wikipedia, Guayaquil is bigger than Quito: 2.7M vs 2M without metro. [[User:Saraedum|Saraedum]] ([[User talk:Saraedum|talk]]) 11:14, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

-:Someone named [[User_talk:Emilio_Mondragón|Emilio_Mondragón]] has reverted the correction of the largest city, in defiance of the figures given in the WP articles, thus creating an internal contradiction.  What is the correct course of action?  I am reluctant to start an edit war, but this is unreasonable.
-:One of the alleged sources for this is the article {{cite web|url=https://www.metroecuador.com.ec/ec/noticias/2019/10/08/siri-dice-la-capital-ecuador-guayaquil.html|title=Siri dice que la capital de Ecuador es Guayaquil, ¿qué pasó?|accessdate=October 11, 2019|df=mdy-all}} which falsely claims Siri says Guayaquil is the capital.  In fact, if the screen shot is Siri, Siri dice solo que Guayaquil es la capital ''economica''.  Artícolos qui no pueden comprender Siri no deben bases para editar Wikipedia.  Also, that source does not appear to say which is the largest city, but I did not read the whole thing.
-:The other alleged source is something I can't evaluate, but it is only a newspaper story and the population figures appear to be estimates (my Spanish is not good enough to be sure).  If it is correct, there should be a more authoritative source, and the WP figures should be changed to avoid inconsistency.

-Hello, my name is [[User_talk:Emilio_Mondragón|Emilio Mondragón]], user of Wikipedia since 2010. I have been claimed that Quito is the largest city of Ecuador nowadays, because the statistics of the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC), that it's the Government local census source, in its publication {{cite web|url=https://www.ecuadorencifras.gob.ec/proyecciones-poblacionales/|title=Proyecciones Poblacionales|accessdate=April 18, 2020|df=mdy-all}}, Quito (as a canton, like a municipality and city, not urban area solely) figures with 2,78 million inhabitants in 2020, more than Guayaquil (which you defend as the largest city of the country), that figures with 2,32 million. I understand what you think, but Wikipedia has wrong data, because it only considers the urban area. In this point, Guayaquil has more population than Quito, 2,6 million to be exact. This is higher than the capital's one (2,0 million). For this reason, Quito has more inhabitants than Guayaquil, because we consider the rural areas (note that Guayaquil only has 100K people in its rural areas, lower than Quito, that has nearly 700K people in its rural areas). Please, try to understand that Quito is the largest city of Ecuador, Guayaquil has a lower growth rate of population than Quito, and we can't talk about the population of both cities without taking into consideration their rural areas. I invite you to analyze the projections that are in the link above (my English is not so good as you), and after that, you can debate your points of view here. Greetings. [[User_talk:Emilio_Mondragón|Emilio Mondragón]] ([[User_talk:Emilio_Mondragón|talk]]) 22:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
-: I agree with Zaslav on this one I think. If the other numbers on Wikipedia are wrong, then these should be fixed first with the appropriate sources. But Wikipedia says that (without metro) Quito has 2M and Guayaquil 2.7M. That makes Guayaquil the largest city. With metro Quito has (according to Wikipedia) 2.7M and Guayaquil 3.1M. Again this makes Guayaquil the largest city. So, sorry but I propose to revert your change again. [[User:Saraedum|Saraedum]] ([[User talk:Saraedum|talk]]) 09:12, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

+== Cordero kidnapping ==
-There is great controversy regarding the most populated cities in the country, however, "Quito has been ratified as the most populous city in Ecuador," as there are no articles in the law or the like that dictate that the population of a city is purely urban, it is municipal as a whole. Quito has 2,735,987 inhabitants (remember that Quito is not only the area of urban parishes, Quito comprises a whole, that is, Quito D.M.), while Guayaquil (understand Guayaquil as a WHOLE) has 2,698,077 inhabitants. A clear difference of just over 38,000 inhabitants, a gap that increases over the years. There are people who defend by sword that Guayaquil is still the most populous city in the country, CLEAR REGIONALISM an desinformation (Wikipedia isn't the only reference). Of course, its urban parishes concentrate more population than those of Quito. 2.6 million vs. 2 million. But 'the term city UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING', not just urban cities, since, as I mentioned earlier, there is no law that indicates that a city is made up of urban parishes. For example, Calderón is a rural parish in Quito, but it belongs to the city of Quito.

-If so, otherwise please let me know in my personal discussion. Also, '''I delete the "controversy" note''', because I leave below evidence and sufficient references that notice that '''Quito is the largest city of Ecuador'''.
