Parts of North East England

I am starting a discussion on sorting parts of the whole region at talk:North East England Chocolateediter (talk) 18:55, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Parishes project

(Posting here rather than on project's talk as I'm not sure the new project is functioning) I have started a project for missing civil parishes at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes. The missing parishes in Northumberland are:

And these exists as a redirect only but should have separate articles:

A total of 20, see User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes (3)#Northumberland. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:08, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Businesses

I’ve moved information from North East England#Businesses to this article in Economy and industry. Chocolateediter (talk) 13:41, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Council seats

Something is wrong with the table of "Overall Council seats as of 2021". The total is not 47, but 77, if I got it right. I guess this is a type, but I don't want to change it without being sure.193.40.12.10 (talk) 15:50, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Absolutely right, almost. Yes it's a simple typo and this is borne out by the similar table at Northumberland County Council. In fact the total of 34+21+7+3+2 is 67, not 77, but you were just testing me, right? Thanks for your vigilance! Cheers DBaK (talk) 08:50, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
