Schroeders Global Cities Index Missing From The Article

‘Schroeder’s Global Cities Index’ is missing from the article which is somewhat strange considering it is one of the more serious academic indexes.Link Inadvertent Consequences talk) 21:47, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Map lists Los Angeles as an Alpha+ city, but it's only Alpha in the 2020 rankings

Map mistakenly lists Los Angeles as an Alpha+ city, but it's only Alpha in the 2020 rankings. This needs to be changed. 74.109.32.114 (talk) 15:25, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Johannesburg article calls it an alpha city

But it is missing from all these rankings lists. Either the list needs updating, or the Johannesburg article needs correction. Deliusfan (talk) 01:26, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting Guidance on Editing Wikipedia Pages as a New Contributor

Hello everyone, I'm new to editing Wikipedia pages and I'm interested in contributing to this page. Could someone please guide me on the appropriate editing protocol for this page? I want to ensure that any changes I make align with Wikipedia's guidelines and are beneficial to the page's content. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

(St.sahildogra (talk) 15:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC))[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean. Like in any other page, you have to cite trustful sources, present a neutral POV and avoid original research. Other than that, just take into consideration the context of what is already written. Petnog (talk) 16:05, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to ask if I can edit this page? Because my account has been created only a week ago. St.sahildogra (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a semi-protected page, which means it can only be edited by accounts that are at least 4 days old with at least 10 edits on English Wikipedia. Petnog (talk) 18:48, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's where I'm a bit confused. Can you please clarify on which page I can make those 10 edits? Although my account is a week old, I haven't been able to edit any Wikipedia articles yet due to their protection policies.

There are perhaps millions of pages you can edit. To take this page as an example, the first two links ("city" and "world economy") should both be free to edit. Petnog (talk) 14:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
