Talk:Politics of Dundee

message: Because this is an international encyclopaedia, many readers will not know where Dundee is. The location of the City, i.e., Scotland, should be mentioned upfront. The Gaelic translation is not going to be as immportant as the location of the city to most readers, so it makes sense to move that slightly later in the first paragraph to improve the flow of the first sentence.
The Wikipedia:Manual of Style recommends not including inks in the pars of the fuirst sentence where the title of the article is put in bold text. It should not be hard for us to respect that recommendation, especially since "Dundee" is repeated in the very first sentence. Ground Zero | t 10:44, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Wondering whether anyone is committed to keeping the list of councillors updated (and perhaps maintaining histories of lists). I tried doing this for Highland councillors, and eventually gave up.
As regards wards - is it a good idea to use names as links? Wards are a somewhat special sense of place and area (like constituencies, but much more numerous), boundaries shift quite frequently, and boundaries often cut across more enduring senses of place. For Highland Council wards I have created two subtopic articles (1999 to 2007 and To be created in 2007) to describe the wards, with links in the descriptions. (However, I imagine descriptions of this sort would be rather more difficult for a generally urban area like Dundee.)

message: There were some errors here which I have amended. Craig Meville never represented the pre 2007 Stobswell - it was held by Joe Morrow. Equally John Letford did not become an Independent until 2009, so was a Labour Councillor throughout this period. Dunarc (talk) 14:22, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

message: I am not sure if the cited source says this as it seems to be a dead link, but this is not true. George Galloway lost when he stood for election to Dundee District Council in 1977 and was never a member of the council in Dundee. Dunarc (talk) 21:44, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
