Talk:List of built-up areas in Wales by population

message: We are not treating any of the wider urban areas as a single unit (cf. Cardiff Urban Area and Swansea Urban Area) so there's no case to treat Wrexham any differently. Maybe this uncertainty is partly my fault for moving the page to "List of urban areas in Wales by population"; I will move it again to "List of settlements in Wales by population" if that's helpful. There is a lot of confusion between the ONS jargon of settlements, urban areas and urban subdivisions; I *think* that settlement is actually an exclusively Scottish and Northern Irish term, with the less intuitive urban subdivision applying in England and Wales, but given the use of List of largest United Kingdom settlements by population I think it should be OK here.

message: Nefyn article has this: Nefyn is a small town and community on the north west coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, Wales, with a population of 2,619.
Still, it is missing from the list. Is there a reason it doesn't belong on the list, or does it belong to some other entry? 85.217.46.52 (talk) 21:49, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You're absolutely right about the Rhondda - but it means updating the whole rank column, I had a look for some tips but frankly life is too short! As for Nefyn, I can't find it in Table KS01, which is the source for the page, although that hasn't stopped people from adding numerous other villages to this list.

message: Hi there! Your list seems to be missing a position in that the table goes straight from: 
39 Carmarthen 14,648 Carmarthenshire
to:
41	Abergavenny	14,055	Monmouthshire.
Is there actually a missing town or is it just that someone can't count? :-) 
Or perhaps I'm blindly overlooking something else which makes this gap okay (it's been known to happen!)

replies: text: If there something which makes it okay, it certainly is not mentioned. That would be least to expect in that situation. I bet it is just an error. 85.217.42.90 (talk) 13:13, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

text: Upon further studying, I see the above-mentioned Rhondda is missing from the list. Apparently, it was removed in this edit: [], a village "Ysbyty Ifan" was added, and Wrexham moved to Rhondda's place at #4. 85.217.42.90 (talk) 13:35, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Inspired by an "Only connect" question (at about 13:00), I am looking for a list of Welsh cities, and can't find it. Could a "city" flag simply be added to the relevant entries? Or is there something extra special about cities in Wales? I am somewhat gobsmacked to learn that Swansea became a city only in 1969, and that the village of St. Asaph is now a city(?!)

message: I'm a bit concerned how this article uses multiple definitions of built-up area. The 2021 census and 2011 census use the same name for two different concepts. This article shows both which makes it a bit of a muddle. Eopsid (talk) 09:46, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I am aware, the ONS didn't help keeping the same term, so technically with the same names, in scope of this article. Surely some little paragraph can explain the change of definition. No idea if the ONS are going to release the actual replacement, "conglomerates"? (or is it connurbation?) So if they do then that list article can be made and the 2011 moved there. But decided not to wait, and insert the technically "2021 built-up areas". DankJae 23:00, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
