==Luton==

Erm. Why exactly is Luton listed under Cambridgeshire? [[User:Lozleader|Lozleader]] 18:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Line 38 ⟶ 40:

:I have added some footnotes to explain the changes, but on reflection I think perhaps the table should show the post 1974 county in all cases, with the current position in a footnote. But in any case the counties are not really relevant to the coding system in relation to current unitaries.

::Looks better; but the county column is still fundamentally different to what ONS does. I wouldn't mind showing ceremonial counties if this page was just a list of districts in England; but not under the ONS heading. I still think we have to remove all counties of Unitary Authorities. Scotland and Wales are already like this. Stirling does not say Perth and Cardiff does not say Glamorgan. I'd also be happy with just deleting the column.

==Rename article==

I think this article should be called "GSS Coding of Statistical Geographies". There's not one obvious title at www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/geography/geographic-policy/coding-and-naming-for-statistical-geographies/index.html with Code History Database and Register of Geographic Codes also mentioned. I think the key thing is to get the word Geography in the title somehow, to differentiate it from codes used by ONS for ethnicity, industry, occupations etc. I've never renamed an article though, will all links to this article still work if I just edit the title?

:Not sure many other people are concerned about this page! Although it is in main article space it's mostly useful because the codes are used by various Wiki templates, and the term ONS codes is still used there. If it needs to be renamed your title seems a good one, but not sure it's worth the effort. [[User:Sussexonian|Sussexonian]] ([[User talk:Sussexonian|talk]]) 18:21, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
