Category:Pubs in the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham has been nominated for renaming. You are encouraged to join the discussion on the Categories for discussion page. Ham II (talk) 13:41, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion has become about the larger topic of whether subcategories of, e.g., Category:London Borough of Barnet should be styled "Category:Foo in the London Borough of Barnet", "Category:Foo in Barnet" or "Category:Foo in Barnet (London borough)", so please weigh in if you have opinions on this.

Would someone from this WikiProject mind taking a look at Talk:Myke Hurley? It's a refunded prod and it's not clear (at least to me) if Hurley satifies WP:BIO since most of the sources seems to be primary or trivial mentions. Perhaps better sources exist, but they just have not yet been added to the article. Since Hurley appears to be from London, maybe someone from this WikiProject has heard of him and knows where to find these sources. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:59, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies if this has been discussed previously. I was a little surprised, as I suspect many others would be, to see towns such as Romford and Hornchurch described as being "in East London".
The postal addresses of anyone living in Romford is "Romford, Essex". I understand that it is technically in the London Borough of Havering, however, I believe few people would feel this as being "East London". Certainly, the "E" postcode district is nowhere near as far out as Romford.
Would this town, and similar others, be better described as being "in Greater London", rather than "in East London"? Perhaps a rule of thumb could be that if the town's postcode is "E" then it is "in East London" (eg Stratford) but if it is "RM" or "IG" etc then it is "in Greater London" (eg Upminster). --TBM10 (talk) 12:37, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no single and simple definition of London (see the protracted arguments over the term on the talk page of the London article). Historically, these towns were in Essex until the formation of Greater London in 1965 (there is a section that addresses this issue in the Greater London article in fact). The problem mainly arises due to the differences between the "London" postal district and the Greater London area.

I think that, for most general uses these days, "London" means "Greater London" and "East London" means that part of Greater London that is the historic East End and the areas to its east. Similarly, our usual meaning of "North London" include those areas that were formerly in Middlesex and Hertfordshire, "West London" includes the former parts of Middlesex and Buckinghamshire and "South London" includes the former parts of Surrey and Kent.

Classification solely by postcode does not help particularly, as some former county postcodes areas cover places that are outside Greater London. The RM postcode area for example includes areas of Thurrock out as far as Tilbury. I grew-up in south-west London living in the SM post code area with the edge of the SW area at the end of my road. I always considered the place I lived to be part of London even though it was for post still in Surrey.

Many participants here create a lot of content, may have to evaluate whether or not a subject is notable, decide if content complies with BLP policy, and much more. Well, these are just some of the skills considered at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.

So, please consider taking a look at and watchlisting this page:

• Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Optional RfA candidate poll

You could be very helpful in evaluating potential candidates, and even finding out if you would be a suitable RfA candidate.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Every coordinate in the ceremonial county of Greater London was formerly in another county such as Surrey, Kent, etc. Why do we not have both fields in the template?

1. Ceremonial county
2. Traditional county

Traditional county appears to be the phrase chosen by government to represent a currently existing Historic county

Please see WP:CFD 2017 February 10#Subcategories_of_London_Boroughs, where I have proposed renaming 596 sub-categories of Category:London boroughs. (Yes, 596 sub-categories). This discussion is part of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion, and Wikipedia:Category names is probably the most relevant guideline.

All the categories fall within the scope of this project, so participation by members of this project would be very welcome. Please add your comnets at the CFD page, not here. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:24, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
