Edit to Largest cities in the Americas
What is your source for the Guatemala City figure you're giving? It isn't in the source you cited. The only official projection published by INE that I can find for 2015 is 994,078. Cobblet (talk) 20:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Guatemala City is by far the most populous city in Central America, exceeding easily 1M 7 years ago. Wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemala_City informs metropolitan area exceeding 4M.
 * Not according to the INE source I linked in my first post, which gave a projection of 984,655 in 2009. Metropolitan area has nothing to do with the population of the city proper. You have yet to provide a reliable source for the statistics you claim. The formatting for the reference that you did provide is broken, and more importantly, the publication you intended to link to does not contain the 2,149,107 figure you are citing anywhere within it. Please do not re-insert the same information again without providing a reliable source or you may be blocked for disruptive editing. Cobblet (talk) 17:04, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately there is not a reliable way to know for sure the exact population of Guatemala City, but as of 2015, the estimate is exceeding 1.5 M for sure. and somewhat close to 2M. The number 984,655 is totally unrealistic. As for 2,149,107, I didn't make that up, it appears on the wiki page https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciudad_de_Guatemala.

Another thing, if you think this information is wrong, well other elements of this page are wrong as well and inconsistent. How is Tegucigalpa # 46, and no other Central American cities that are far more populous don't appear in this page? If you think you have all the right information, go ahead and change all the Wikipedia pages in all languages, but be consistent with your statement.
 * See List of largest cities in Central America. All population figures there (and on Largest cities in the Americas) are quoted from official government sources – you can check each one of them yourself. Wikipedia itself does not count as a reliable source – just because a Wikipedia in a different language quotes a made-up number that you happen to like doesn't mean that the number is correct. If you have a problem with the 984,655 figure, talk to the Instituto nacional de estadística, not me. Cobblet (talk) 20:10, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
