This states at the very beginning of the article that a megacity is defined as a "city" with a population of 10 million people or more. That is not correct. A megacity is defined as a "metropolitan area" of 10 million people or more, not a "city" of 10 million people or more. New York City, Los Angeles, London, Paris, none of these cities have a population of 10 million people. But they are megacities because their metropolitan populations are at least 10 million people. This is an internet encyclopedia so correct information must always be given. This needs to be changed in the article, which has been locked. 174.78.6.108 (talk) 18:49, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2022-03-07T18:49:00.000Z","author":"174.78.6.108","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-174.78.6.108-2022-03-07T18:49:00.000Z-Metropolitan_Area,_Not_City","replies":[]}}-->
