The information I linked to is indeed not in violation of copyright and it does comply with our policies and guidelines. Should I consider using our upload template > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:YouTube ?

Thank you.--87.170.192.136 (talk) 10:27, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It does not comply with our inclusion standards, and we do not link to everything that is related to a subject. --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:52, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Street Map of London needed

[edit]

All the maps currently shown are sketchy. It is very difficult to work out where those sketches fit onto the topography, e.g. streets and rivers. The initial location map as a small dot in the middle of Greater London is nigh on useless. It should at least be zoomable in and out. Cvhorie (talk) 08:33, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Money Laundering

[edit]

The City of London's role in illicit financial activity such as money laundering has earned the financial hub sobriquets like ‘The Laundromat’ and ‘Londongrad.’[1]

London’s role as the world’s dirty money clearing house is well-documented but efforts are being made to clean up through legislation, e.g. authorizing unexplained wealth orders. High-value properties are sought after by criminals and money launderers legitimising their gains by investing in the city’s prestigious real estate.[2][3][4]

In case of revert due to hurt feelings, see above.Oathed (talk) 12:57, 15 January 2024 (UTC) Oathed (talk) 12:57, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Form of government

[edit]

How can the form of government of the City of London be termed? --95.24.68.61 (talk) 19:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Area of London 2.9 km2? wtf?

[edit]

Who is editing these articles? They need to be fired. I've consistently seen that area for many cities globally are being misreported in wiki.

If you don't believe something, check the citation. It says: Greater London 157,208 ha; Inner London 31,930 ha; City of London 290 ha. --Cavrdg (talk) 12:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
