Canary Islands (Spain): Until 1927 the capital of the province of Canarias was Santa Cruz de Tenerife, status who lost to the administrative division of the archipelago carried out in two provinces. In forming the autonomous community in 1982 shared capital between the two provincial capitals, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was established. There is currently a balance of institutions between the two capitals, in fact Canary Islands is the only autonomous region of Spain which has two capitals.-- 88.9.98.101 ( talk) 10:49, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

In the Wikidata there are different objects: wikidata:Category:National capitals ( wikidata:Q7214555) and wikidata:Category:Capitals. Different ones?-- Estopedist1 ( talk) 08:03, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
So wait, why is a capitol not a "capital building" then? I ad some stupid idea that they were related somehow, without ever putting any actual thought into it. AnnaGoFast ( talk) 00:32, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Per request by User 103.58.92.10 who reverted my edit of the lead photos (showing the capitals of several major powers) for the reason of "taking a consensus before changing" (but changed the photo of Moscow after reverting my edition anyway). Simply wish to know the thresholds of changing such photos. Cheers! In Dialogue with The Rover paths 08:56, Tuesday, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

The municipality of Rome includes its suburb Ostia which is on the seashore, hence Otaly should be considered as a country whose capital is on the coast. 151.30.171.236 ( talk) 18:39, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
I have doubts whether the map showing countries divided three ways (coastal capital, inland capital, landlocked country) is adding value to the article. Of course it is possible to construct such a map, but what does it really tell us? Not much. What exactly is a "coastal capital"? If one with a sea-going port, then London is a coastal capital. As pointed out above, perhaps Italy should also count? The map is "own work" (pinging @ Fobos92:), and has some idiosyncracies. Like rectilinear lines joining offshore islands to the country. And inaccuracies: it shows the Falklands as part of Argentina, which is not correct. I suggest that the map is not adding encyclopedic value, and should be deleted. Similar comments might apply to the next one: about "multiple capitals" (not even clear exactly what this means). Imaginatorium ( talk) 11:36, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
