• 17:1117:11, 18 November 2019 diff hist 0‎ NG postcode area ‎ I would list Mansfield before Sutton-in-Ashfield, as it has the larger population and more postcode districts.
• 17:0717:07, 18 November 2019 diff hist +26‎ NG postcode area ‎ Dam it, logged out again without realising. Anyway, I do agree that it might be worth pointing out that the NG area is in the East Midlands.
• 16:4416:44, 18 November 2019 diff hist −19‎ LN postcode area ‎ Removed slightly redundant second instance of "postcode districts" from the lead.
• 16:4416:44, 18 November 2019 diff hist −49‎ LN postcode area ‎ Undid revision 921062763 by Adam37 (talk) Please explain why it is a "weasel way". And casual readers do not need to be told that the districts are "consecutive and arranged by geography rather than alphabetically". Tag: Undo
• 16:3816:38, 18 November 2019 diff hist +1‎ North East Lincolnshire ‎ →‎History: Corrected link to the Borough of Cleethorpes article, after moving the article accordingly.
• 16:3616:36, 18 November 2019 diff hist +88‎ N Talk:Cleethorpes (borough) ‎ Roger 9 Roger moved page Talk:Cleethorpes (borough) to Talk:Borough of Cleethorpes: Most articles on districts that were created in 1974 and have, or had, borough status are titled "Borough of X" rather than "X (borough)". current Tag: New redirect
• 16:3616:36, 18 November 2019 diff hist 0‎ m Talk:Borough of Cleethorpes ‎ Roger 9 Roger moved page Talk:Cleethorpes (borough) to Talk:Borough of Cleethorpes: Most articles on districts that were created in 1974 and have, or had, borough status are titled "Borough of X" rather than "X (borough)".

• 16:3016:30, 18 November 2019 diff hist +69‎ West Lindsey ‎ The lead should say where West Lindsey's council is based.
• 16:2716:27, 18 November 2019 diff hist +5‎ DN postcode area ‎ →‎Coverage: Tidied links to local authority area articles.
• 16:2316:23, 18 November 2019 diff hist −19‎ DN postcode area ‎ Removed slightly redundant second instance of "postcode districts" from the lead.
• 04:4104:41, 18 November 2019 diff hist −57‎ HU postcode area ‎ Made the lead that bit more appealing for casual readers. And to clarify, Hull is a unitary authority but it is still part of the East Riding of Yorkshire, just as the unitary authorities of North Somerset and South Gloucestershire are still part of Somerset and Gloucestershire respectively.
• 04:2304:23, 18 November 2019 diff hist −4‎ HX postcode area ‎ I think "western West Yorkshire" sounds better.
• 04:2104:21, 18 November 2019 diff hist −10‎ OL postcode area ‎ Removed slightly redundant second instance of "districts" from the lead.
• 04:1804:18, 18 November 2019 diff hist −12‎ ST postcode area ‎ I do not believe that casual readers need to be told that the districts are consecutive and geographic (indeed, this area does not contain any non-geographic districts at present), or that the area covers the "great bulk" of Staffordshire as opposed to the north and centre of the county.

• 04:1304:13, 18 November 2019 diff hist +4‎ SK postcode area ‎ Undid revision 858901010 by Skman689 (talk) This was not properly explained and not necessary. Could even have been mischief. Tag: Undo
• 04:1104:11, 18 November 2019 diff hist −40‎ SK postcode area ‎ Is it really important for casual readers to be told how the districts are numbered?
• 04:0804:08, 18 November 2019 diff hist +29‎ Morden ‎ MRSC, at the very least you have to accept that Morden is specifically 8 miles from Charing Cross, rather than the whole area of Central London (which also includes the City of London, the South Bank, etc.). And other editors have said that the word "located" adds nothing. I do not wish to get into an edit war here...
• 03:3503:35, 18 November 2019 diff hist −26‎ Sevenoaks District ‎ Well here is another thing. Sevenoaks District does not take up the entire far west of the ceremonial county of Kent. The Borough of Dartford is in the north-west corner. And anyway, is it really that important for casual readers to be told that the district is in the "far west" of the ceremonial county of Kent, as opposed to just the "west"?
• 01:1101:11, 18 November 2019 diff hist +421‎ User talk:Roger 9 Roger ‎ →‎Stop!: further
• 01:0001:00, 18 November 2019 diff hist +268‎ User talk:Roger 9 Roger ‎ →‎Stop!: I am sorry if you are confused, MRSC, but that is no reason to be so heavy-handed.
• 00:5500:55, 18 November 2019 diff hist +11‎ Morden ‎ Then why do many postal addresses in the area still say "Morden, Surrey SM4" while very few say "Morden, London SM4", "Morden, Greater London SM4" or "Morden, London Borough of Merton SM4"? Also it says "historic county" and not just "county", and historic counties are clearly defined and distinct from present-day ceremonial counties like Greater London, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.

• 22:0122:01, 17 November 2019 diff hist +214‎ User talk:Roger 9 Roger ‎ →‎Multiple account editing: I do not operate multiple accounts.
• 21:5521:55, 17 November 2019 diff hist −42‎ CA postcode area ‎ I do understand that there are geographic and non-geographic postcode districts, MRSC. I should have said in my last edit that mention of the non-geographic districts was unnecessary for the lead, because casual readers (many of whom read only the lead) might not be interested in these districts. If they absolutely have to be mentioned, then perhaps it is more appropriate to do so in other sections, such as the Coverage section. Tag: Undo
• 20:5120:51, 17 November 2019 diff hist −42‎ CA postcode area ‎ Once more, those unnecessary words "consecutive" and "geographic", and equally unnecessary mention of non-geographic districts...
• 20:4720:47, 17 November 2019 diff hist +2‎ LA postcode area ‎ →‎Coverage: Tidied links to local authority area articles.
• 20:4320:43, 17 November 2019 diff hist 0‎ LA postcode area ‎ I would then list Windermere, Dalton-in-Furness and Millom as they are the next three largest towns in south Cumbria. The order of the remaining post towns in this area is not greatly important.
• 20:3520:35, 17 November 2019 diff hist −10‎ LA postcode area ‎ Regarding south Cumbria, I would list Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal and Ulverston first as they are the three largest towns in the area.
• 20:2320:23, 17 November 2019 diff hist +54‎ BB postcode area ‎ It might be worth pointing out in the first line that the BB area is in the North West of England. Several other postcode area articles mention the region in their first lines. Also, I would spell "thirteen" out, and list Blackburn and Burnley first, since they cover multiple postcode districts.
• 20:1720:17, 17 November 2019 diff hist −42‎ Hyndburn ‎ The first paragraph of the lead can be a bit neater.
• 20:0620:06, 17 November 2019 diff hist +11‎ PR postcode area ‎ It might be worth pointing out in the first line that the PR area is in the North West of England. Several other postcode area articles mention the region the area is in in their first lines.
• 20:0520:05, 17 November 2019 diff hist +34‎ PR postcode area ‎ →‎Coverage: Some consistency in how the non-geographic districts are displayed.
• 20:0120:01, 17 November 2019 diff hist −14‎ PR postcode area ‎ →‎Coverage: "Their content" is not necessary either.
• 19:5919:59, 17 November 2019 diff hist −70‎ PR postcode area ‎ That unnecessary word "geographic" once more, plus mention of non-geographic districts, which I doubt are of great interest to casual readers...
• 19:5419:54, 17 November 2019 diff hist −23‎ West Lancashire ‎ The first paragraph of the lead can be slightly shorter.
• 19:4719:47, 17 November 2019 diff hist −8‎ WN postcode area ‎ Truth be told, I do not see anything wrong with pointing out that the WN area covers most of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, plus parts of West Lancashire and the Metropolitan Borough of St Helens. The WN area is not a particularly large area, after all (rather like some of the areas on the outskirts of Greater London, like BR, IG and UB).
• 06:0306:03, 17 November 2019 diff hist −8‎ WA postcode area ‎ It might be worth pointing out in the first line that the WA area is in the North West of England. Indeed, it is right between Liverpool and Manchester, and also several other postcode area articles mention the region in their first lines.
• 06:0006:00, 17 November 2019 diff hist +23‎ WA postcode area ‎ Those unnecessary words "geographic" and "consecutive" for the umpteenth time... Tag: Undo
• 05:5505:55, 17 November 2019 diff hist −19‎ CW postcode area ‎ Shortened the lead very slightly.
• 05:5405:54, 17 November 2019 diff hist −172‎ CW postcode area ‎ Removed unnecessary text between HTML comment tags.
• 05:5205:52, 17 November 2019 diff hist +2‎ CW postcode area ‎ Undid revision 923584840 by 85.255.234.3 (talk) Looks mischievous. Tag: Undo
• 05:5005:50, 17 November 2019 diff hist −19‎ TF postcode area ‎ Shortened the lead very slightly, and not drastically.
• 05:4805:48, 17 November 2019 diff hist +40‎ TF postcode area ‎ That unnecessary word "consecutive" for the umpteenth time... Tag: Undo
• 05:4505:45, 17 November 2019 diff hist −87‎ WV postcode area ‎ Once again, unnecessary use of the words "consecutive" and "geographic", and equally unnecessary mention of non-geographic districts. Casual readers first and foremost, Adam37... Tag: Undo
• 05:4105:41, 17 November 2019 diff hist +23‎ WS postcode area ‎ Those unnecessary words "consecutive" and "geographic" once again...
• 05:3805:38, 17 November 2019 diff hist +8‎ DE postcode area ‎ It might be worth being that bit more specific in the first line and saying that the DE area is in central England.
• 05:3205:32, 17 November 2019 diff hist −483‎ DE postcode area ‎ Once again, is the manner in which the districts are numbered really that important to casual readers? I do not believe it is, and the only way I might be convinced otherwise is if the relevant discussion was started on the talk page.
• 05:2505:25, 17 November 2019 diff hist +15‎ BN postcode area ‎ It might be worth pointing out in the first line that the BN area is in the South East of England. Several other postcode area articles mention the region the area is in in their first lines.
• 05:2305:23, 17 November 2019 diff hist −14‎ RH postcode area ‎ It might be worth pointing out in the first line that the RH area is in the South East of England. Several other postcode area articles mention the region in their first lines. Also, I have reconsidered regarding the second use of "postcode districts", without seeing any need to be blatantly impolite.
