Assessed[edit]

As lists go this is complete. There seems nothing more that could be added to it, so it is far more than a stub. But to be better than a C then the various facts in it would need citations, for example the members names. The only reference given is a some future plan by the boundaries commission, which doubtless contains the present outlines but probably not the representation. Properly referenced this could be a Good List, for all that might be worth.

I have changed the importance from HIGH to Low. Looking at other county projects which include such lists (e.g. Derbyshire, London) they are all Low, and I don't see why a list like this should be anything else.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 13:34, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 28 March 2022[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. There is crystal-clear consensus that "parliamentary" should be lowercase in these sorts of titles. A few other points were raised during the course of the discussion (for instance, Keith D's comment regarding "list of" and Ham II's concern regarding List of Parliamentary constituencies in Wales); feel free to start separate RMs about these issues at any time.

– Pages would better adhere to WP:TITLEFORMAT. "Parliamentary" is a common noun when used in this context and should therefore be lowercase. Some pages already adhere to this (e.g. List of parliamentary constituencies in Northern Ireland and Parliamentary constituencies in Shropshire). Woko Sapien (talk) 19:44, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Naturally, a long list like this means that there could be mistakes or omissions. Please feel free to recommend any technical corrections or any pages I may have missed. Woko Sapien (talk) 20:31, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment May be Parliamentary constituencies in Shropshire should be moved to List of parliamentary constituencies in Shropshire for consistency, but a number of them are more than a list so may be all of them should just drop the "List of". Keith D (talk) 13:00, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment All the articles involved need to be tagged to direct people to the discussion. Keith D (talk) 13:04, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I noticed User:RMCD bot has only tagged the first three pages. Do you know of any solution to this? Should the notifications be made manually? --Woko Sapien (talk) 14:43, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Never mind, I see where I went wrong with formatting this request. I'll begin working to fix it. --Woko Sapien (talk) 15:55, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy support in principle. The proposed lowercasing seems completely obvious and uncontroversial, at least unless some changes to other aspects of the titles are desirable. This could have been a mere technical request. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I debated with myself how best to request this. Because of the large number of affected pages, I decided to play it safe and go the long route...just in case.--Woko Sapien (talk) 19:15, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The hatnote at List of Parliamentary constituencies in Wales makes a point of saying that its scope is British Parliamentary constituencies and not those of the Welsh Parliament, the Senedd, so it's not really generic "parliamentary constituencies" in that instance. Perhaps that would need to be List of UK Parliament consituencies in Wales, which would be consistent with Aberavon (UK Parliament constituency), etc. Out of the lists by preserved county in Wales, the ones for Clwyd, Dyfed, Gwynedd and Powys do cover both types of constituency, but those for Gwent, Mid Glamorgan, South Glamorgan and West Glamorgan don't. So I think it makes sense to move all of those to the generic "parliamentary constituencies"; it's just that Gwent and the Glamorgans are missing some coverage.
