Maybe this should be added: Bogotá, Colombia is the capital of the departament of Cundinamarca, but it's not a part of it, since it's considered a "Capital District" 201.244.111.29 (talk) 19:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC) POL[reply]

It would be more interesting to have a separate grouping for capitals that are outside their territories for reasons other than having their own dedicated territory. 173.227.73.12 (talk) 23:09, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

South Dakota

Todd and Shannon counties have capitals outside their borders, but are not included in the list. Please include them! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.190.210.221 (talk) 23:54, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And why didn't you include them yourself? If you can edit the talk page, you can edit the article as well. And please sign your comment the next time. --UrsoBR (talk) 11:45, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Berlin/East Germany

Does Berlin qualify (historically)? It was the de facto capital of East Germany (as noted on the Wikipedia page for East Germany, but as stated there, it was not recognised as such by the United States, UK and France. In fact, Andrei Gromyko's signature of the Four Power Agreement on Berlin (1971) implicitly (if somewhat vaguely) accepted the 'Allied' position that Berlin was still a territory under four power Four-Power Authorities occupation while the rest of Germany was divided into two sovereign states. Soviet pressure led to the agreement referring to 'the relevant area' rather than 'Berlin', but since the agreement was solely concerned with the former united German capital and chiefly concerned travel, trade and communications between the two halves of the city, it's pretty clear that this was diplomatic rhetoric rather than a statement of fact. I realise that this isn't completely clear cut, but there are less ambiguous cases of diplomatic recognition or non-recognition which are accepted on other Wiki articles e.g. The Soviet Union existing prior to the US concurring in 1933 and the borders of Israel not being redrawn after the USSR recognised the PLO as the sole legitimate authority of the Palestinian territories and people in 1978.
