message: There was a reason the article didn't have an infobox, but I can't remember what. I think it was due to it sandwiching images further down and making a mess. Anyway, I think it should have:
* A map
* Not a grid reference (the area covers multiple entries and hence makes no sense)
* Counties : I would go with Westminster / London. You don't want the Association of British Counties on your back.
* Parliament / assembly
* Post town / district - ambivalent, but if people can't bear not to have them then I suppose we'll manage
Anything else? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:00, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: A map at infobox size is wholly useless. Really a traditional area like this, which doesn't align with any current political/postal etc divisions is too complicated for an infobox to handle. Obviously the key fact about Mayfair is that only very rich people live there, & no box that doesn't get that up front is worth having. Perhaps this was the "reason the article didn't have an infobox"? Johnbod (talk) 14:10, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed it was - looks like I was struggling to get a working map and couldn't do it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:22, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Very wise - to me the version here ain't worth having! Johnbod (talk) 14:35, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

text: That's a nice map, but much too wide for an infobox, and the rest of the information isn't worth giving such prominence to (which goes for Bloomsbury too). At least let's not have a multiple image - yuk! Johnbod (talk) 18:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  What to put in the infobox 

message: Should we add an infobox after this discussion above, and per previous edit. 112.204.206.165 (talk) 05:22, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You forgot to mention this edit, where the reason I removed the infobox was specifically "can't get a decent map working". Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:25, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

text: Ah, I've worked out how to turn these off, so I've updated to follow suit. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:18, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That looks good. I don't have an objection to police et al, but equally they aren't the most important so I'm happy with them either in or out. One of the district articles I looked at (but I can't remember which one) had a map showing the location in the UK rather than the borough or Greater London, which I think is less useful than the presentation here.

thread_title:  RFC: Infobox 

message: Here is a mockup of an infobox for the article. Comments welcome. I notice that the "Police", "Fire" and "Ambulance" fields are automatically populated, which is actually one of my objections - how is that relevant to the article. But that's a discussion for the template itself. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:16, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
