Highest major city, true, hard to source
editfrom what I can tell El alto is a twin city in the La Paz metro, like Dallas-Fort Worth. Most verifiable sources call La Paz the highest major city, because it’s the city the metro is named after. It raises the question, does major city mean large city, or does it mean well known city. Dallas is a major city, but is Fort Worth? 97.126.89.248 (talk) 03:23, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- I'm curious about this too. El Alto is technically higher up (hence the name), but La Paz is clearly the major / principal city; it existed long before El Alto did. As for Dallas-Fort Worth, all I can say as someone who doesn't live in the US is that I've never gotten the sense that Forth Worth is a major city in Texas. AFAIK that's always been Dallas and Houston... Guildhelm (talk) 03:32, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
The Heights?
editIt is not quite accurate to translate El Alto as "The Heights" (plural). The source for this translation is an article from the New York Times. Is the article's writer a Spanish speaker? Doesn't appear that way. It may be more accurate to translate El Alto as "The High One" or "The High Place", since "The Heights" would actually be Las Alturas or Los Altos, depending on interpretation. Either way, translating from Spanish a place name grammatically singular into a grammatically plural name in English is just plain inaccurate. Guildhelm (talk) 03:13, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
