this depends how important you factor the "isCapital" part of it. Wiesbaden is a capital, Frankfurt isn't. > > Listing sources is not very indicative of importance, it just says how > diligent the writer of the article is. > agreed Another (less known example) to finetune your algorithm: Sindelfingen, 43 articles, 62.000 population, capital=8 Böblingen, 40 articles, 47.000 population, capital=6 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=48.6940&mlon=9.0067#map=13/48.6941/9.0066 I'm not sure which one I'd see as more important, but likely Böblingen because of it's administrative status. Another example: Gelsenkirchen and Bottrop and Herne (and some more cities in the Ruhr area, but I chose those because Bottrop and Herne currently win over Gelsenkirchen in osm/carto). https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/240052693#map=9/51.5062/7.2771 Gelsenkirchen, 72 articles, 258.000 population, capital=6 Bottrop, 61 articles, 116.000 population, capital=6 Herne, 56 articles, 155.000 population, capital=6 Closeby there are also Wattenscheid, 11 articles, 72.000 population, capital=9 (is now a district of Bochum, but had rights like a town before 1407 and was part of the Hanse from 1554) Bochum, 74 articles, 362.000 population, capital=6 Essen, 96 articles, 574.000 population, capital=6 Interestingly, in this quite dense area, there are a lot of cities in a similar size range and with equal administrative status (de:"kreisfreie Stadt", independent cities at admin level 6, in this case within an admin_level=5 entity (de: Regierungsbezirk). The amount of available languages in WP seems to correlate well with the population numbers. Cheers, Martin
