Talk:Buckinghamshire

message: A recent edit to this article "removed tiny hamlets with no articles". I have undone this edit. Most of the places in the list don't have articles yet, but we should aim to have articles for all of them. -- Oliver P. 23:50, 10 Oct 2003 (UTC)

thread_title: tiny hamlets

message: Copied from page history:
Milton Keynes district became a unitary authority in 1997, but remains part of the county for ceremonial and postal purposes.
I don't understand for what postal purposes Milton Keynes remains part of Buckinghamshire?  If anything it's the reverse, parts of the existing county of Bucks have a Milton Keynes postcode (eg Buckingham is MK18). -- Graham  :) 17:50, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Postal purposes

message: Article on the county in England mainly developed to its current state by myself.  I believe it's a good model for other county articles to copy.  I finally decided to list it here because I've managed to find some artwork to display alongside Morwen's marvellous maps. Graham  :) 00:04, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: The 808,666 figure is a 2018 estimate. The correct figure is 840,138 (= 553,078 + 287,060). I am trying to get it corrected. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 12:31, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to close this question, I have corrected the Buckinghamshire (and Bedfordshire) figures at  and this article now shows the correct figure. But it needs someone with more time and inclination than I have to update all the others. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:56, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Population figure in the infobox is wrong 

message: I think from its coverage and mainly being a separate entity to the county (which includes MK). I think a unitary Area article should be made similar to Dorset, MK and Somerset's and Buckinghamshire Council is used for the political control only. As the council articles don't cover the wider areas like Chesham Aylesbury, High Wycombe etc like a district article would. @JMF @Crouch, Swale @KeithD @AnonymousMK others thoughts?

replies: text: The huge problem is the ambiguous choice of name (unlike Bedfordshire, which wss sensible). But for all practical purposes, the generic Buckinghamshire article does all that is needed and it would just be a wp:cfork to replicate it. The Bucks Council article only needs to say which towns etc that are (and are not) within its remit. For anything else, just refer readers to the overall Buckinghamshire article. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:50, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

text: I think either way we need to look at merging Buckinghamshire County Council to Buckinghamshire Council as although they are technically different legal entities they cover/covered the same area, have very similar names and have similar functions, the only difference is the newer also has the district functions.

text: While there are indeed significant distinctions in local governance between the City of Milton Keynes and the rest of Bucks, the latter covers 80% of the ceremonial county, so (as JMF said) the only benefit of having a separate article would be to summarise which towns are administered by Bucks Council, and which ones aren't. In the majority of contexts, usage of the term "Buckinghamshire" (for historical, geographical and social reasons), refers to the whole ceremonial county, including the Milton Keynes UA , so any new article will likely fall short of WP:GNG standards (although the local press and political nerds occasionally refer to MK as being distinct from Bucks). To distinguish the Bucks Council-administered areas from the MK-administered ones, for the articles under the latter category, we have stated that they are either "in/of Milton Keynes" or "in the City of Milton Keynes UA", which creates a clear enough distinction IMO, ntm that the Buckinghamshire article already covers the nooks and crannies of local govt in significant detail.
