Talk:Devizes (constituency)

Edit warring

Southmartin continually removes the reference from Martin Houlden, instead converting it into a direct HTML link which is contrary to Wikipedia:Mos#External links. I have formatted the refernce correctly and left two warnings on Southmartin's talk page. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 15:20, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

I am happy to support you. Moonraker2 (talk) 22:30, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Date of creation

The article contains contradictory information about whether the constituency was created in 1295 or 1331. The Return of constituencies says 1295 and I propose to amend the article accordingly. Alekksandr (talk) 21:16, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

List of elections is difficult to read

The list should be either chronological or reverse chronological order. The current sequence is weird and difficult to scroll through. ネイ (talk) 12:07, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

It is reverse chronological. DuncanHill (talk) 12:11, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

It is reverse chronological only after 1918. Before 1918, the sequence is: 1885, 1886, ..., Dec 1910, 1868, 1874, 1880, 1832, 1834, ..., 1865, and so on. ネイ (talk) 05:10, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
