Population
What is the significance of the Roman numerals in front of the year in the Population chart. They all have XII. in front of the survey year. In a previous revision, 2017 was prepended by VI. What does this mean? — Chromatikoma
Temperatures
Why are fahrenheit temperatures used in the Climate section of this article? The Tricity is a European city and like all of Europe (even the UK) it uses celcius for temperature. Using an antiquated and unused (except for the USA and Burma) system is confusing for most people. It's time the Americans stopped using such a bizaare system.--Xanucia (talk) 23:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hello! Fahrenheit temperatures are located in brackets with Celsius temperatures remaining the main numbers. This is Enlish wikipedia and the USA is the biggest (AFAIK) English speaking country so I see no reason why Americans shouldn't have their units placed.

Tricity or Tri-City?
Please - in English this should be Tri-City. "Tricity" would be pronounced "Trissity" and in any case is a brand owned by Electrolux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolux#Brands). Writing it Tricity shows a lack of knowledge of native English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.51.114.243 (talk) 12:58, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Stop trolling! Firstly, English spelling doesn't indicate pronunciation. Secondly, things can share their names. Seems like you're the one with a poor command of English. --2001:16B8:3132:F600:BDB8:3F1C:640B:599F (talk) 14:08, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Dreistadt
German name has no historical justification other than the time of occupation 1939-1945. That is actually a very kind interpretation, as I couldn't find in online polish historical sources actual usage of 'Dreistadt'. Gdynia, one of 3 components of Tri-City, was build from 0 during the interbellum. Gdynia was created because Germans from the Free City of Danzig/Gdańsk were obstructing Polish exports during the interbellum. Claiming any significance to the German translation of the name is a manipulation aimed to confuse those who do not know history well. In some sense it is a form of expressing the German claim to the region. If the German translation of the Tri-City construct deserves a note in first paragraph, then this paragraph should also contain - Spanish: Triciudad, Norsk: Trippelbyen, etc. Germans have no better claim to the Tri-City than Spaniards or Norwegians. 79.186.57.111 (talk) 18:48, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
