Probably one of the most stupid articles on Misplaced Pages

Why are we using a ranking system that is not commonly used? Forget arguing whether it is arbitrary or not (you can apply criteria objectively, but who decides what is in the criteria?) - it is trivial and pompous as it is pointless.

Every time I go to a Misplaced Pages article about a city I roll my eyes whenever the introduction makes reference to this dim-witted ranking system, in between far more vital facts about its population, history etc.

San Jose

The list of Beta cities includes San Jose, which is a link to a disambiguation page. Is this intended to refer to the city in California? That the other most likely possibility, the city in Costa Rica, is already on the Gamma list suggests that it probably is, but the source was unclear. Egsan Bacon (talk) 20:42, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

The 2012 list is currently used and the source shows "San Jose (Ca)" below an unspecified "San Jose" which can only be Costa Rica. I have fixed the article. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:00, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Kaohsiung

Did it not make the GaWC study ranking? Kaihsu (talk) 08:35, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Presumably so. Taipei made it, so it's unlikely they ignored Taiwan cities. Ahyangyi (talk) 02:54, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Add Portland, Oregon to list of Gamma - (minus) global cities. 52.36.180.74 (talk) 21:23, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Their most recent study does not list Portland as a Gamma- city. nihlus kryik (talk) 21:29, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
Correct, and the article explicitly says: "The following is a list of the cities in the 2016 rankings, as they appear on the GaWC website:". Portland was listed as "Gamma −" in the 2012 rankings but removed in 2016. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:49, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
