Why Dublin?

Why is Dublin singled out here? There are far more populous and dense cities in the British Isles. TharkunColl (talk) 00:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not according to the data the map was made from. The Dublin and London regions were of such ridiculously high densities compared to everywhere else that to include them properly in the map would skew the whole thing horridly. I tried, but it was just impossible. Thus they're just left separately. --sony-youth^pléigh 02:21, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sony-youth can you indicate exactly where you got your data from - not just the main domain names? If you take a look at http://www.citymayors.com/statistics/largest-cities-density-125.html you will see the following (cities outside the British Isles have been excluded):

City / Urban area	Country	Population	Land area (in sqKm)	Density (people per sqKm)
London	UK	8278000	1623	5100
Leeds/Bradford	UK	1499000	370	4050
Manchester	UK	2245000	558	4000
Birmingham	UK	2284000	600	3800
Glasgow	UK	1200000	368	3250
Dublin	RoI	1075000	365	2950

It appears that the map is incorrect but I would be happy to be shown different source data. Greenshed (talk) 20:27, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
