I am considering merging this page with the page entitled "Salford" as I think the existence of the two pages is confusing and a combined page under the heading Salford that explains the difference between the metropolitan borough and districts within would be more appropriate. My intention is then to expand the page with further information similiar to that for Manchester (old rivalries between the twin cities never dies!) which has a single page. Any observations?
- That sounds like a smart idea. I am not familiar with the place, and was confused with the Salford article starting "Salford ... is a city in". Yet this article is titled "City of Salford". So, it's all pretty confusing to anybody who's not familiar with the place. --rob 23:49, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

- I disagree. There is a difference - the City of Salford is a metropolitan borough with City status, while Salford is a town within that metropolitan borough. Therefore please do not merge!! David 21:08, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
David, please note that there is no "town" called Salford. I don't know how familiar you are with Salford but it became a city in 1926 and that is when the "town" ceased to exist.
Salford is comprised of 5 districts not 7- Swinton and Pendlebury is one district as is Irlam and Cadishead.
- merge - There is a difference, and it can be thoroughly covered on one page. Hughcharlesparker 23:38:40, 2005-09-01 (UTC)
- keep seperate - The articles deal with two different areas, but with similar names.... a simillar confusion exists with the town of Oldham and the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham... and again with the town of Rochdale and the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale. Whilst these areas may sound simillar, they actually deal with very different (wider/smaller) areas and have seperate legal status. Jhamez84 17:42, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

- Quite right - the borough of Salford extends way out into the Lancashire countryside! Therefore - keep seperate! David 14:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
No it doesn't!!! Lancashire is Lancashire, Salford is Salford. Salford is not in Lancashire!
- Yes it is. David 21:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Incorrect - you've got some reading to do! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.0.93.134 (talk) 22:53, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Arms-salford-city.png
Image:Arms-salford-city.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- I have gone through an corrected parts of the lead for style and flow. Main thing editors have to remember, especially if they're from a certain place, is that acronyms and local terms (like GCSE) have to be written-out and explained. Not everybody who reads Wikipedia is from the UK... in fact, 96% of users are not located in England (according to web research firm Alexa), so editors have to keep that in mind.
- B. MoS compliance:
- A. Prose quality:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- C. No original research:
- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- B. Focused:
- A. Major aspects:
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- I generally think the article meets GA standards, but will defer to other Wikipedia editors to provide comments as well.
- Pass or Fail:
