Talk:List of MPs elected in the 1983 United Kingdom general election

Old discussions

There should now be an article on every one of the MPs in this list. Those highlighted in red are probably so because there are alternative ways to spell their name, eg. (Bob and Robert). It's also possible some of them may be a namesake of other famous people. I would be grateful for any feedback. --Dovea 11:54, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Is that "should be an article" as in "it would be highly desirable if there were an article", rather than that there is an article if only it can be found. For quite a lot of the red links, I can find no relevant article - where there are differences of spelling, the helpful thing would be to make the link.--George Burgess 18:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I meant there are articles on all of them, but not all on the list. As a new Wikipedian, I'm still not sure how to link articles. --Dovea 16:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Umm, just because the links are not red doesn't mean there is an article on all of them: some of them appear to be missing, or at least the links go to dab pages or to another article, as I discovered when I started an AWB run based on this list. Am just doing a tidyup, but an easy way to identify the mis-linked entries is to use popups to see what article pops up when you hover over the link. --BrownHairedGirl 09:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
