Portal Europe without Asia? edit
Moscow and Russia are in Asia, not in Europe (by larger, much larger part). External links section contains Europe only (as continent, template portals). This bias of joining Russia to Europe is present elsewhere in the world... Turkey is, following same pattern, in Asia. --5.43.81.203 (talk) 00:43, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- I think you should have taken a look at any map of Europe for where Moscow is located before making such comments. Mellk (talk) 23:23, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Mellk: Just add Asia before Europe in this part of the article. Moscow is not in Europe as I know and with maps I saw. --5.43.81.203 (talk) 09:31, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Where have you seen maps showing Moscow in Asia? AndyTheGrump (talk) 09:53, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- You shouldn't argue with him, he is from Bosnia and Herzegovina and if he says that Moscow is not in Europe, Russians are not Europeans - he knows better! 2A02:A45E:72A7:1:527B:9DFF:FED0:561 (talk) 20:37, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

GA nomination? edit
What do you think about GA nomination? In general, the article is well written with many new illustrations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frontfrog (talk • contribs) 22:19, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

The name Mustajoki appears for the first time in the Ipatievskaya Chronicle of 1147, where Prince Yuri Dolgoruky of Suzdal invites Svyatoslav, Prince of Seversk, to be his guest in Moscow. 85.76.34.176 (talk) 19:44, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Most populous city proper outside Asia edit
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)
