Talk:Leyland, Lancashire

message: Because of the large number of articles beginning "Leyland" I suggest that the article aboout the town be moved to Leyland, England and that Leyland becomes a disambiguation page. 82.21.65.109 19:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the disambiguation. However it is convention to use the system of "Town, Ceremonial County" when disambiguating English settlements. I have thus moved it to Leyland, Lancashire. Jhamez84 22:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The population of Leyland is neither around 40,000 or 103,000 (which is actually the population of the whole of the South Ribble Borough).
I added together the census 2001 populations of all the Leyland wards and got a total of 16,450.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.44.44.133 (talk) 02:45, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Leyland Central, Leyland St Ambrose, Leyland St Mary's and Leyland St John's add up to 16,450. The other wards in Leyland are: Earnshaw Bridge, Seven Stars, Golden Hill, Lowerhouse and Moss Side. On South Ribble council's website St John's is missing, this has probably been split into two (maybe adding bits from outside Leyland) so I'll subtract that from my previous total; the result is 29,653. --Snigbrook (talk) 22:42, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Leyland - flat or untilled land.  I was under the impression that leyland came from "lay-land" - the land of the laypoeple.  This is as a complement from the nearest large town of Preston, which comes from "priest-town" 81.155.242.97 (talk) 19:05, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The recent change to remove Wellfields is a little strange.  The fact it is the first in the country to have a wind turbine is a great fact, which should be on here.  Also, Balshaws is mentioned in the above paragraph.  I see no reason for it's exclusion.  A list of the major schools in Leyland is important.  
I will revert the text if no-one objects. MrPloppy2 (talk) 11:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm confused how Leyland has become a part of WikiProject Cities?  Leyland, Lancashire is a town, it hasn't received city status, neighbouring Preston is the city. (Pr3st0n (talk) 01:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The title of the project is misleading (ie: WPCities) as it on fact covers all settlements, not just cities. The confusion arises because it is an American dominated project and in the US it seems almost anything can be a city. Nev1 (talk) 17:15, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
