Talk:List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies (2005–2010)

message: Smallest consituency isnt Orkney and Shetland its the Western Isles one (called something in Gaelic)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.246.3 (talk) 19:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Corrections to made

message: #The wikification of this list is incomplete. Every entry from Fareham onwards needs to be modified to point to a (constituency) article and those before that need checking. --Theo  (Talk) 11:11, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: We have to ensure that these articles dab constituencies from other entities that share their name.  How do we differentiate the historic constituency of Southampton, say, from the city of the same name? --Theo  (Talk) 19:38, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Call the constituency Southampton constituency (or, perhaps, Southampton (constituency)), make its historic status clear in the first paragraph of article's text and categorise article as about an historic constituency. There is a view that all constituency articles should include "(constituency)" in their titles.  "(constituency)" is appropriate for disambiguation purposes, but if "constituency" is to be in every title then "(" and ")" are redundant. Laurel Bush 11:59, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Clean up tasks

message: The entire list of county lists is failing.  I've fixed my local one - staffordshire - by way of a sample of what is needed but haven't the patience to fix every single link.  Clearly someone altered the way the page is structured but didn't clean up the table.  Anyone have the patience...?  Buy you a beer... next time you are in Stafford, anyway!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antreid (talk • contribs) 23:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: List of English Constituencies

message: This looks like a decent candidate for WP:FLC to me.  Is needs some references, and an image would be good (e.g. the UK split into its constituencies). -- ALoan (Talk) 29 June 2005 19:25 (UTC)
:At present many of the names are wrong: AFAIK county constituencies should be in the form "<compass point/area> <county>", rather than "<county> <compass point/area>" (unlike borough constituencies).  Additionally, I bet there are many redirects, and I bet there will be many more as people slowly work through removing excess disambiguation (this is where a feature "list all links on page that are redirects" and "automatically update to bypass all redirects" would be handy).  The redirects don't really bother me, but the county constituency names do.  Joe D (t) 29 June 2005 20:09 (UTC)

replies: text: Are the two Milton Keynes seats formally named Milton Keynes South West and North East Milton Keynes? I though they were an exception so that both have the same format despite one being a borough and the other a county. Timrollpickering 11:22, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently not , although the latest Boundary Commission review  has replaced them with Milton Keynes North and Milton Keynes South, despite North still being a CC and South a BCsjorford #£@%&$?! 11:55, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: FLC

message: This was recently removed from the article, on the grounds of lack of known examples:
:Some constituencies may cross the border between administrative counties, usually in urban areas where each metropolitan or London borough is considered a separate county.
I am not aware of any current examples myself, but I believe it can happen, not least because any changes to constituency and county boundaries will tend to be out of phase with each other. The ideal may be that constituencies should represent counties, or sub-divisions of counties, but often, as reform follows reform, the reality is deviant from the ideal.

replies: text: Geographic counties are used in England for constituencies. For instance in Shropshire, The Wrekin constituency is partly in the unitary authority of Telford and Wrekin and partly in the administrative county of Shropshire. David 08:40, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Constituency and county boundaries 

message: The Constituencies in the next United Kingdom general election article is the "successor" to this one, although I note a ruddy lot of work will have to be done if the latter is to reflect the county-by-county system of the former.
But, it's there if anyone wants it... doktorb wordsdeeds 09:30, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Populations?

message: :List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies → List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies 2005–2010 — This article is out of date, and has been since the dissolution. To preserve the information and page history, we should move it. However, in moving it, this page will become a redirect page, someone will need to delete before we can move Constituencies in the United Kingdom general election, 2010 to this article title.

replies: text: That's a fine discussion to have, but I don't understand why we need to have it making sure the correct information is at this article title. -Rrius (talk) 21:15, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 

message: Maybe we could add a column, or colour, denoting the Party that holds the seat now? Just a thought, but it would help for clarity, and would be sortable. - --RobNS 20:02, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
