Right, I have merged this with the article Bradford and added a bit of extra information about the history of the city. It still looks entirely crap though compared to most other British cities, but that's a job for someone else! Brummie dave 20:49, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merge
And I have reverted the Merge. The whole matter is under discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Subdivisions. PLease do not jump the gun again. There is a world of difference between articles about the Area and about the Town. --Tagishsimon
For what it's worth (I'm an official with Bradford Council who has just discovered Wikipedia and made a few minor edits to both Bradford entries) I agree with Tagishimon - The Bradford District does contain a number of quite distinct settlements which though part of the Bradford Metropolitan District are definitely not part of the city of Bradford by any commonsense definition, so they do need to be separate. Part of the confusion arises from the headings though - the page titled "City of Bradford" is actually about the Bradford Metropolitan District. I'd suggest keeping the entries separate, but tidy up the "Bradford" entry to ensure it ONLY talks about the actual city area itself. E.g. Saltaire can legitimately be included as a place in the Bradford Metropolitan District entry, with a link to its own page, but it really shouldn't be included in the "Bradford" entry - it's part of Shipley, and only came under Bradford Council at 1974 local government reorganisation. The whole issue of geographical identity is anything but straightforward! Phil.
[edit] Discussion of City & District vs. merged pages
There is currently a discussion on Wikipedia:WikiProject_UK_Subdivisions, discussing whether it is better to have a single article for, for example Bradford (the city) and City of Bradford (the district).
If this issue is of interest to you , please comment on Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Subdivisions.
[edit] Demographic Data

[edit] Demographics
Many of Bradford's "ethnic Pakistani's" are in fact Kashmiris. Why isn't there no mention of this in the article?
- Without second guessing I think it's likely because it uses the ONS ethnic classification system which only has pakistani/indian/bangladeshi for South Asians.--ElvisThePrince 17:20, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Arms-bradford-city.jpg
Image:Arms-bradford-city.jpg 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
