[edit]

The section "20th-century cities under international supervision" contains items which I suspect are nor called "city-state" in sources. Specifially, I doubt that Klaipėda Region, "Ottoman", Tangier International Zone, and Free Territory of Trieste belong to this article. West Berlin is fishy (not called "city-state" in its article, nor refs provided) but not much off. I understand all these had a special status, but they were not identified as "city-states", AFAIK. So either provide sources or remove them from here, possibly into a separate article, if there is a scholarly discussion which treats them as a particular subject. --Altenmann >talk 03:16, 15 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Excessive list

[edit]

Hi, the start of the "Historical background" section has an extensive list of dozens of city-states, with a bunch of injections (e.g., "which grew from a city-state into a vast empire"). What does everyone think about splitting this up for clarity? Stormgaze (talk) 00:27, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

That probably makes sense. Mellk (talk) 05:06, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
It should probably be included as an actual list, given it is essentially a list in prose. CMD (talk) 06:09, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
