Where is the source? I am curious, in particular, what year the date was compiled. -- Taku 13:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Japanese article has good sourcing. Arthena^(talk) 00:21, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About what kind of source do you expect me to talk? I edited only pictures from Wikimedia Commons. User:isida1028 03:20, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The question is from last month, I don't think it was meant for you personally. Arthena^(talk) 15:23, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Need to edit/update "List of Japanese cities by population" section

The "List of Japanese cities by population" article needs to be updated to reflect 2010 Census numbers. I am not sure how to format or edit this but I have provided a format that may be ideal for this article (prefectural capitals shown in bold):

Population Rank	City	2010 Population	2005 Population	% Change	Absolute Change	Area	Density	Prefecture	Region
1	Tokyo	8,949,447	8,489,653	5.42	459,794	240.1	37,274	Tokyo	Kanto
2	Yokohama	3,689,603	3,579,628	3.07	109,975	168.9	21,845	Kanagawa	Kanto
3	Osaka	2,666,371	2,628,811	1.43	37,560	85.8	31,077	Osaka	Kansai

I have all of the data for all Japanese cities and can build a table like this for this page for all cities over 200,000 plus all prefectural capitals. The source for this data is found in the link below:

http://www.stat.go.jp/data/kokusei/2010/jinsoku/zuhyou/jinsoku.xls

I hope this helps and let me know if I can provide the 2010 Census data (in excel format and structured the same format as the above example) to someone who would like to manipulate it or if I can create a table for this page using the above format.
