Rugby league is a developing sport in Liverpool, with many community partners assisting the sport's governing body (RFL) to offer opportunities to participate. These include well established professional clubs in the neighbouring towns of St. Helens and Widnes. The city has a thriving student rugby league scene; Liverpool University took part in the first university game in 1968 and the other universities have been regular participants in the BUSA competition.
Today there are a number of non-professional clubs in the city, including Liverpool Buccaneers, who in 2006 won the regional final of the Rugby League Conference and in 2008 were elevated to the Rugby League Conference National division. Two junior clubs, Liverpool Lions (based in Croxteth) and Liverpool Storm (based in Childwall), have been established in 2008. They will be competing in the NWC Junior leagues in 2009. Rugby league has more recently returned to Huyton-with-Roby in the form of the Huyton Bulldogs A.R.L.F.C. Huyton Bulldogs currently compete in the RL Merit League, and their home ground is at the Jubilee Playing Fields, Twig Lane, Huyton.
A number of secondary schools throughout Merseyside are now participating in the inaugural merit league and 2008 is the first year that Merseyside schools have qualified for the RFL's Champion Schools tournament. Primary schools have been competing in tag festivals for a few years and the annual Tag World Cup is one of the major events in the Liverpool schools' competition calendar.

I have previously explained via edit summaries why the changes made are incorrect. Below is the comment I left at Correctus2kX page for clarity. He has not responded to the talk page requests, nor has he provided sources nor explanation of why he is correct in his interpretation. In addition he has claimed other cities also differentiate between their city area and their "council area" (whatever that means) but per the below, I checked over three dozen other city articles and could find not a single UK city that did so, and only in the limited cases of smaller Met Boroughs named for smaller areas could I find anywhere close. However in those cases, the smaller component parts each had their own articles, as did the named "borough".

Dyaluk08 has attempted on two occasions to make poor quality edits to the lead. Firstly, the lead is a summary of the main article - new material should be included there, with or without citations. Secondly, there is no source for giving Germany primacy as a source of immigrants, or indeed to separate out Norway and Sweden. Thirdly, it is incorrect to pipe Ireland to the Republic, as historically immigrants to Liverpool came from all parts of the island of Ireland. Fourthly, the claim that "many Liverpudlians [consider] themselves more Irish than English" is very poorly sourced. Fifthly, the reference to T. P. O'Connor gives it undue weight for the lead. Sixthly, the reference to the city's anti-Conservative feelings (while very possibly true) is very poorly written, and unsourced. Finally, all the references use bare URLs, which is very bad practice. The paragraph should be reverted to its pre-existing state. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 13:40, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

Rohan Westbury ( talk) 09:21, 19 May 2020 (UTC) The history of Liverpool can be traced back to 1190 when the place was known as 'Liuerpul', possibly meaning a pool or creek with muddy water, though other origins of the name have been suggested.

template. I did some surface-level digging and it seems like sources don't all agree, which is why I think this change should first be discussed:
So I have never thought to really look at the list of nicknames, assuming they were obscure or irreverent because I have never heard of most of them, or only heard versions of them informally, but @ Dyaluk08: did a fix tonight about some quotations and I notice the Jung quote which jarred as I remembered reading the full quote decades ago, and realised that's what we were sourcing the nickname claim to. Anyway, the Nickname tag at the top is meant to be used for names that are synonymous with the city (such as "The Big Apple" for New York), but all I can see or find are temporarily assigned titles (such as for promotional work for the City of Culture which have since been abandoned) or passing recognition from Guinness Book of Records (which I have added for the moment as at least it is sourced, and people might have a clue which city is being referred to it). Worryingly, some such as the "Pool of Life" have now been co-opted by a hotel chain who have had the great idea of adding a "copyright" to the titles of a variety of nicknames for cities all over the UK. Not sure how they hope to enforce that or whether it is only associated with the artwork. Anyway, if anyone can find some authoritative source for nicknames being used (and I know there were definitely some in the 1800's when Liverpool docks were considered a modern wonder of the world), let me know as otherwise it just seems like unsourced cruft.

I agree with Ghmyrtle and how they have suggested it be worded. If there is no evidence there is a difference between the city and borough stats then it serves no purpose using 'borough'. "Its population in 2019 was...." is right. LicenceToCrenellate ( talk) 20:41, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Your list of surnames and their origins is incorrect. The surname Jones originated in England - it begins with a letter not even contained in the Welsh alphabet! Such articles as this are liable to be infiltrated by various nationalists who are eager to drive an artificially divided picture of the United Kingdom. Roberts is also not a surname of Welsh origin.
