replies: text: I believe that its correct name is Thornaby-on-Tees, but it is generally and informally known as Thornaby for probably >99% of its usage. (I do hope that you were not holding your breath for a reply to this!) DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 07:58, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Has anyone got a reference for the population figure quoted in the article? The recent change has nearly doubled the figure. According to the 2001 census the figure was 22,620 for the civil parish of Thornaby, I will change it to this soon unless anyone can come up with a reference for the higher figure.

thread_title: Population figure

message: This is actually quite a nice article but it suffers horrendously from its lack of references and the use of weasel words such as "it is said..." and "it is stated..." Also, in a few places it gets very anecdotal and personal-sounding, almost like a blog. It's all stuff which could be good and appropriate but desperately needs references to back it up. It would be great if some well-informed local editors who know about this stuff - and where it comes from - could help out with some good refs for all this. I wish I could, but I am not sure I have much by way of books etc which could help and I am not up there! :( DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 08:03, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  References, weasel words etc - can you help? 

message: I'm not entirely convinced that Stockton is the only local authority that crosses county boundaries because I'm not sure what the original author means by "ceremonial county" anyway. Richmond LB is partly in Surrey and partly in Middlesex. County Durham itself has expanded to take in villages like Startforth in Teesdale that were historically in the North Riding. Sheffield spills over into historic Derbyshire. So I'm not convinced that there's any force in his point.Kranf (talk) 20:42, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not referring to prior authorities but current authorities where it straddles County Durham and North Yorkshire. Keith D (talk) 19:40, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

text: No Yarm and Norton don't have the suffix while Thornaby and Stockton do, that's just how it is, see the OS maps. Articles don't have to "copy cat" each other otherwise we'd need to move London and Reading, Berkshire to London-on-Thames and Reading-on-Thames because of Henley-on-Thames.
