A slow-burn edit war over the nationality of Tyndall has been going on for some time. It has been suggested (as far back as 2011) that a RfC be tried in an attempt to resolve this on-going issue, so here it is.

== Perth requested-move notification == |
|||
{{Ombox|text=An earlier requested-move survey generated lots of controversy and an arbitration case.<br/><br/> Therefore, this one is being posted here and in many other places, to gather a very wide range of opinions outside of the Scotland and Australia WikiProjects.}} |
|||
A [[WP:RM|requested move survey]] was started at [[Talk:Perth_(disambiguation)#Requested_move]], which proposes to move: |
|||
* [[Perth]] → {{no redirect|Perth, Western Australia}} |
|||
* [[Perth, Scotland]] → {{no redirect|Perth, Perthshire}} |
|||
* [[Perth (disambiguation)]] → {{no redirect|Perth}} |

'''Background:''' There was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Perth&oldid=499378455#Requested_move a previous requested-move survey] which ran from late May to mid June. There was a great deal of controversy surrounding the closure and subsequent events, which involved a number of reverts and re-reverts which are the subject of [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Perth|an ongoing arbitration case]]. There was [[Wikipedia:Move review#Perth.2C_Western_Australia_.28closed.29|a move review process]], which was closed with a finding that the original requested-move closure was endorsed; however, the move review process is relatively new and untried. — [[User:P.T.

Its been so long since I created this kind of category that I have forgotten how to do it. Could I get some help, and add Thomas Henry FitzGerald and John Chilton Lambton Carter. There must surely be dozens more. Fergananim (talk) 00:34, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Population: village vs electoral division
I've noticed some articles on villages where the population in the infobox is like this, for Kinvara:
- Village 1,160
- Urban 563
- Environs 597
With these {{Infobox settlement}} parameters:
population_total = 1160 population_urban = 563 population_blank1_title = Environs population_blank1 = 597
This is simply wrong. These numbers are from the 2006 census Vol.1; the "Urban" population is the from Table 5: towns and the "Village" population is for Table 6: electoral divisions (with "environs" being Village minus Urban). Most electoral divisions take the name of a village or town within them; typically the largest or the one nearest the centre. But this is an arbitrary concordance; there may be multiple census villages in a single ED, or none at all; some villages' population spans multiple EDs (browse tables 5 and 6 to see this). Calling Kinvara ED the environs of Kinvara village is as incorrect as calling County Donegal the environs of Donegal town. The fact that one is named after the other and encompasses it is not relevant. There may be a value in listing EDs and their populations somewhere in Wikipedia, but not in the articles for villages (or other features?) that happen to have the same name.
I believe the appropriate fields for Template:Infobox settlement#Population, demographics are as follows:
- List of cities, boroughs and towns in the Republic of Ireland population_total, area_total_km2, population_metro, area_metro_ha
- List of census towns in Ireland population_total, area_total_km2
Sourced as in those two articles.
Hopefully this can be got right as the 2006 figures are replaced with the 2011 ones. jnestorius(talk) 20:52, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Perth requested-move notification
A requested move survey was started at Talk:Perth_(disambiguation)#Requested_move, which proposes to move:
Background: There was a previous requested-move survey which ran from late May to mid June. There was a great deal of controversy surrounding the closure and subsequent events, which involved a number of reverts and re-reverts which are the subject of an ongoing arbitration case. There was a move review process, which was closed with a finding that the original requested-move closure was endorsed; however, the move review process is relatively new and untried. — P.T.
