This article states that Quito, the capital is the largest city, when in fact it is Guayaquil. The article states as shown: "The capital city is Quito and the largest city as well" when a check on CIA.gov's world factbook will actually prove Guayaquil is the largest city by a factor of 1.077 million.

largest city

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. Saraedum (talk) 11:14, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

I just did the same thing. Both city and urban area make Guayaquil larger. Someone doesn't like the numbers? Here is the text claiming Quito as largest city, removed from the introduction:

its largest city as well. References: "Siri dice que la capital de Ecuador es Guayaquil, ¿qué pasó?". Retrieved October 11, 2019. and "Quito se convirtió en la ciudad más poblada del Ecuador con más de 2,7 millones de habitantes en el 2018". Archived from the original on January 10, 2019. Retrieved January 11, 2019.</ref>

Someone named 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 "Siri dice que la capital de Ecuador es Guayaquil, ¿qué pasó?". Retrieved October 11, 2019. 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. Zaslav (talk) 01:05, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

CIA factbook reference

Currently the main reference for the religion section is a CIA world factbook page on Papua New Guinea, not Ecuador. Tellurium128 (talk) 00:09, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
