228:- here I greant the (district) is required to disambiguate the name from the article on the town. All of which got me around to wondering whether area names which are to all intent & purpose defined by local government boundaries, should not be named as is the authority. Bringing it back home to Ilkley, I know the good folk there would prefer to think they live in the Bradford Met Area, than in the City of Bradford. However I know you've put in a great deal of thought & work into the Area pages, and so will not unilaterally change the pagename, but rather open a discussion. best wishes --
497:(on the "charts" at the bottom, listing the preceding and succeeding person in each office), life peers are listed as "Lord Falconer of Thoroton". I just used that as my reference. As I understand it, many life peers did go by their peerages, while others didn't (such as George Robertson, who's ironically listed as "Lord Robertson" throughout the NATO pages).
259:, which happens to be in the Bradford Area (however we name it). I agree that St.Albans has a crappy long name, and that the whole thing is a pest...but still, something just ain't right about the present naming.

Newport, South East Wales (traditionally in Monmouthshire). Monmouthshire IS IN South East Wales, so phrasing it your way adds nothing (except confusion). I'd also had a stab at listing the Newport's by population but your reverting to an older version has undone that. How about a consensus here?

I broadly agree with the idea that we should not completely disregard common usage of words; but I also think that--thanks to a very lazy foreign media--an awful lot of non-Irish people are under the impression that Prime

I though we'd reached an understanding whereby places are listed geographically and not politically. I see you've reverted the 'Newport' page which I'd listed geographic counties instead of arbitrary suffixes like 'South East Wales'. There was even a disclaimer to explain this!

You also gotta allow for the delicate sensibilities of Irish folk who are profoundly pendantic about little things like this. In fairness, though, after 80 years existing on the other side of but a few miles of sea it would be nice if the

There was a tyneside PTE in the early seventies if not before. It covered
Newcastle and Gateshead. Not sure if it stretched into South and North Shields. Their bright orange monsters only invaded Sunderland in 1974, supplanting the sickly green and cream of Sunderland Corporation Transport. I

Ok, so this is obviously something about which intelligent people can disagree. I really think though, that the use of capitals for PM in the constitution is an example of legalese. There are other examples of this; for example the state is called "the State" but no one would argue that this word

I've noticed the great effort you put into the

I'm not sure I would place any reliance on the 1695 map - it looks pretty sketchy. The part which appears to have changed contains no settlements, so if Morden just knew that Long Bridge and
