Talk:South Lanarkshire

Population Needing Updated
The population in the article is a few years out of date. In this link below, there is a more up-to-date figure from 2010. I was trying to update the figure on the page, but after constant searching on the edit page, I cannot locate the "demographics" section on the edit page which shows up on the article. Hmm... Here's the link: South Lanarkshire Council Demographics — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arossmorrison (talk • contribs) 12:46, 7 May 2012 (UTC)


 * If it makes you feel any better, I had quite a bit of difficulty trying to figure out where to edit that data and I'm an admin (I don't normally edit these articles ... I have a few of them on my watchlist to check for vandalism). The data appears to be stored in Scottish council populations, but I don't feel comfortable updating it myself. I'll notify Keith Edkins, the maintainer of the template, about this discussion. Graham 87 15:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)


 * As far as I can see the population figure was not actually out of date, it was just that the date 2005 was hard-coded into Infobox Scotland council area while Scottish council populations contains 2010 estimates. I have fixed it now & it will update automatically when I upload future years' data.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 15:55, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Election results
Someone has managed to make a real hash of the election results table. Although it purports to be the 2007 results, the number of seats given are for 2012. However, the rest of the information stays as 2007, including net gains/losses, percentages, and number of votes obtained. This either needs reverting, or updating properly.

Subject of article
Is this article supposed to cover South Lanarkshire as a geographical area, or is its intended focus the South Lanarkshire council? It seems to be more the latter but can't make up its mind. — MouldyFox (talk)  09:19, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
