message: The map seems to show Perth and East Perthshire as Conservative, but, as noted elsewhere in the article, it was gained by the SNP at this election.

message: I am not convinced that the Liberal Party did simply reissue the manifesto that they used for the February 1974 general election.  Although the link on the BBC website says this, I can see manifestos on "politicsresources" website - http://www.politicsresources.net/area/uk/man/lib74feb.htm and http://www.politicsresources.net/area/uk/man/lib74oct.htm - and they appear to be different manifestos?

message: I am not sure that it should say after Robert Lindsay, Lord Baniel 'Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs', as he did not hold this post at the time of the election. Other defeated MPs who had in the past been ministers (such as Sir Harmar Nicholls) and Christopher Mayhew do not have their ministerial service noted. Also I noted Piers Dixon was missing so have added him in.Dunarc (talk) 20:46, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

message: Why is File:1965 Jeremy Thorpe.jpg not used as the infobox image for Jeremy Thorpe when it's used as the infobox image for his own Wikipedia article? I've put it in as the image for the infobox twice and it has been deleted. YttriumShrew talk 15 June 2019 4:33 AM UTC
:I just noticed this myself. I suspect - and someone can correct me if I'm wrong - that it's a licensing issue, as the infobox image is a non-free image used on fair use grounds. Is it possible that fair use extends to Thorpe's page but not to the election page? Zcbeaton (talk) 12:42, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

message: The footnotes beside Dick Taverne and Eddie Milne in the Incumbents defeated section say "Elected as a Labour MP", as they do for Christopher Mayhew and Edward Griffiths. However while the latter two had both been elected in  the previous election in February as Labour, Milne had won as an independent and Taverne as Democratic Labour Party. Indeed Taverne had resigned his seat and won a by-election as Democratic Labour when he left the Labour Party in 1973. Thus I wonder if the footnotes for Milne and Taverne need to be modified, as to me it could be read that they had changed parties since the previous election like Griffiths and Mayhew which was not the case.
