Is ONS_coding_system the same as the geographical coding system in teh article? Midgley 00:54, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Image:National Statistics.svg 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Does this article use any of its references from the Office for National Statistics, LOL? 86.29.133.238 ( talk) 23:57, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I have no idea, but expect that it doesn't all that much, since it is generally considered improper to use sources to0 close to the subject in question (but obviously dependent on context and need). references can be easily seen at the bottom of the page using the references section.

I moved this section, not written by me, from Karen Dunnell's Biography to this article so that it could be subjected to better review. I changed some of the more extreme POV features expressed in it. I now see that someone else has rightly drawn attention to its imbalanced and un-referenced character but instead of modifying this, has deleted it. As there is already a somewhat contentious section on Criticisms of ONS in the this article, this piece is not an inappropriate addition, duly referenced and improved.
Hey there, is it possible to upload the office's logo on Commons? Would be great! -- Dionysos1988 ( talk) 23:46, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
The Office for National Statistics launched a new website on Saturday 27th August (moving from statistics.gov.uk URLs to ons.gov.uk.) All links to the old website are redirected to the new homepage. I am starting to collate the old links and replace them with links to the same/similar content on the new website. If you can help with this, please do. Please note that some urls with www.statistics.gov.uk will still work as they may be to the National Statistics Publication Hub. KitMoyles ( talk) 12:54, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
I have updated the bulleted list to reflect the current version of the NSCL - the taxonomy used in classifying statistical outputs. I have temporarily removed the sentence - this includes numerous regular surveys, such as the General Household Survey, the Labour Force Survey and the UK National Census that takes place every 10 years. ONS also runs the England and Wales Longitudinal Survey, which monitors the health, address changes and fertility of a 1% sample of the population of England and Wales over time for statistical purposes). as this breaks up the flow of the list and is incorrect - it was placed next to Health. However, the General Household Survey is classified under People and Places and the Labour Force Survey comes under Labour Market. I am considering a slight rewrite to reincorporate these mentions and possibly others. KitMoyles ( talk) 17:09, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Does the ONS website have anything similar to the American FactFinder? I'm asking, because I'm trying to look up population estimate data on particular local authorities in the UK, but can't seem to find an interactive tool that allows one to quickly look up the most recent estimates. -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 05:59, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
This section looks way out of date. Does anyone have the knowledge to rewrite it please ? Pwimageglow ( talk) 11:54, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Can someone please help link to this orphaned article? Gbawden ( talk) 11:59, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

The writer of this article seems to have a fondness with overly long sentences with too many clarifications, Which can be a little messy and unclear and difficult to read at times. I have cleared up some of this where I've noticed it, but do not have the time to go through the entire article looking for overly long sentences. Where possible, please look out for cases where a sentence is too long as you read the article, and if you have the time, edit it. Farleigheditor ( talk) 20:04, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
