The city is mentioned as having the seventh-highest number of billionaires. But it was in 2022. This year it is in the sixth place. The Forbes website proves it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/gigizamora/2023/04/08/the-cities-with-the-most-billionaires-2023/?sh=62f5fd0f1147 Ildevrandt (talk) 00:11, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi in the transportation section, under metro, in the third paragraph the article mentions park pobedy station as one of the deepest in the world, at 84 meters, and that it has the longest escalator in europe, both comments are INCORRECT, the actual real depth of the station is 73 meters! A huge difference! It is not even in the top 10 deepest stations of the world, there are several stations at over 80, 90 and even 100 meters! The two deepest stations arsenalna in kiev and Hongyancun in china are 36 meters deeper!! Thats half the depth of the park pobedy station! You can verify this from the official website, and the second comment about the escalator, it’s not even the longest escalators in moscow, yes it is long at 127 meters, but definitely NOT the longest, even moscow has longer escalators, for example the one at the station marina roscha at 130m, there are several longer escalators in st petersburg at 137, and kiev, can somebody please fix this fake information, thank you! 2600:1012:B181:BD37:ECE6:8592:AC6E:80FB (talk) 19:58, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned previously on the talk page, Kharkiv, Ukraine, should be removed from the list of twinned cities (sources are also provided there). Tallinn, Estonia, has also terminated cooperation agreements with Russian cities on 3 March 2022. Edwin33 (talk) 07:00, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most populous city proper outside Asia

Based on the latest respective results of national censuses, Moscow, with over 13 million residents, is, as of the time of writing, the most populous city proper(as distinct from a wider urban or metropolitan area) outside Asia, particularly in view of Sao Paulo's population decline to under 12 million residents. Perhaps the article should be updated to reflect this. TensorPointer (talk) 22:47, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The weather data is outdated. Here it says: The last decade was the warmest in the history of meteorological observations of Moscow. Temperature changes in the city are depicted in the table below:

But it gives data from 2008 to 2018, this is not the last decade. Below is the updated weather box with weather data from the last decade, i.e., from 2014 to 2024.

The weather box needs to be updated so that this makes sense.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 3 July 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Moscow. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

My suggestion is to add in the first paragraph: Moscow is the third-most-populated capital in the world. 108.7.77.5 (talk) 18:01, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
