Somebody might want to double check the percentages in 1992 and 1997 as they seem to be a case of lazy copy and pasting... I would correct it, but I'm too lazy :) -Neo 19:58, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)

I'm less laxy than I thought... should be correct now :) -Neo 17:09, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WP:RM discussion

I propose this is moved to the appropriate page, as given in the Wikiproject style guide - Maltaran 17:55, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

~~I'm neutral~~ Oppose. (I reverted an earlier move, but that was because it was done by cut and paste rather than using the move button). AFAIK the style guide is only one person's ideas rather than official policy. The official policy of Wikipedia however is not to over disambiguate, and unless there is more than one constituency named Cheadle the seems no need to make the move. If there is more than one constituency I have no objections. Joe D (t) 18:05, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

This should stay here since there are no other constituencies to our knowledge with the name Cheadle. Also I think the use of UK as an adjective instead of British is ugly. Dmn / Դմն 00:01, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Oppose. I agree with Dmn; the move may be in keeping with "the Wikiproject style guide", but that is trumped by the Wikipedia style guide and conventions that say that we don't pre-emptively disambiguate unless there is a very good reason; on does not seem to have been given. Also, "UK" is not an adjective, and using it as such does indeed look absolutely vile. James F. (talk) 17:43, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
Comment: incidently, the WikiProject style guide has been corrected and no longer recommends over-disambiguation / pre-emptive disambiguation. Joe D (t) 21:18, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Ultimately I don't care so long as the redirect remains from (UK ...) - if one is writing an article which needs reference to one or more constituencies it is very useful to have a link that one knows is certain to reach the page required. --Neo 22:45, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
