[edit] Population
The population figure in the page and the figure on the infobox do not match, yet both figures are apparently pulled from the 2001 Census. Sicanjal 14:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
- I've sourced reliable and more up to date population figures using a Suffolk County Council reference. The larger figure in the original article probably included Worlingham in it. -- Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Norfolk or Suffolk
There appears to be some disagreement about the location of Beccles. The article has for a long time stated Suffolk, but an anonymous editor 137.73.88.101 (talk ยท contribs) has several times changed it to Norfolk. I've been reverting this as vandalism, but thought I'd mention it on the talk page to check that Suffolk is correct. -- MightyWarrior (talk) 12:03, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's in Suffolk, although close to the Norfolk border. I can think of no reason why continual changes to Norfolk are anything other than some kind of vandalism -- Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed, it's most definitely in Suffolk, although as Blue Square points out, near the border with Norfolk. No reason to wonder. It's been in Suffolk an awfully long time.MarmadukePercy (talk) 04:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
