This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Sydney article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
This article is written in Australian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, realise, program, labour (but Labor Party)) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
Sydney was one of the Geography and places good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Info Box suggestion - adding urban (built-up) area and density
The GCCSA area and density information, being based on census/statistical parameters can be seen to provide a limited understanding of the city's true form.
Urban (built-up) data for the city area (and subsequently) density provide a more nuanced and accurate reflection of the true urban scale of the city.
This information is readily available in ABS/Census data, reflecting the 'urban centre' or 'Significant Urban Area', which a category used on Misplaced Pages already to rank Australian cities.
This information is summarised here: http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf based on ABS data.
For Sydney specifically, this information shows an urban area of 2,194 sqkm and a population density of 2,204 per sqkm.
Data is available for all major Australian cities, so could be included for all.
It would be useful to include this information in the info box if possible, otherwise in the body of the article. AussieInfo (talk) 02:45, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
