Copyedit article; rewrite confusing statements, remove redundancies in wording, etc

Ensure that all images in the article are freely-licensed (I can't find a reason why this article should have fair use images), and that they have appropriate captions.
After a quick check, all of the images in the article as of 6 September 2008 are (or purport to be) either freely licenced or in the public domain. There are a few issues with some of the images, but at least there aren't any obvious fair-use images in the article.
Notable people don't define the city, so it's really trivia to include them. The criteria for inclusion is never defined and addition of a person is often WP:OR. Because of this, some lists become so large that they dwarf other sections that are far more important. This happened with London, which doesn't actually have a section listing notable people. Instead, the 30 articles in which they're included are linked from List of people from London. --AussieLegend (✉) 08:51, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps the article should differentiate between the population of Sydney and the population of greater Sydney. Sydney branches out from Bondi to Penrith and Hornsby to Cronulla. Whereas greater Sydney includes the RNP, everywhere up until Wyong and all the way west to Katoomba. You have listed 4.7 million as the population of Sydney in the article which is misleading as that figure is for GS, which includes areas that do not define themselves as Sydney. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.171.42.144 (talk) 12:28, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
