User:Bluemoose and User:Tagishsimon are part of a loose consipiricy to align this list with ceremonial or geographic counties, for want of a better means of division. Thought you'd like to know. --Tagishsimon (talk)

Please add this template to all villages/towns/cities:

I have been adding it to as many as possible, but as only ~5% of the pages have actually been made it is too big a task for me to do all of them.

Grid reference, post code, lat/long can be found at http://www.multimap.com/
Population and dwellings are found in census 2001 data on county council webpages for example http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/community/census/parish/

please link to the 2001 census in 'external links' thanks

To add this template, 'edit' this page, then copy and paste the table into the correct article. thanks Bluemoose 14:52, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why does this table have "village" as the "formal status" when: "there is no legal [or formal] meaning to the term "village" in England"? I suggest either dropping the word "formal", or using "parish" or "none" instead of village. 14:45, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Putting none is not a good idea, although i must say i did not know that village was not formal, it is so widely used it is as good as, if we were to change anything it would be to change formal status to just status. - Bluemoose 07:53, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A lot depends on what the article is acually about. One parish may contain several villages (or at least, several hamlets). If the article is not about the parish as a whole, you have to be very careful with the census data, which probably does relate to the whole parish, not just the principle village.
