Area stats linking to wrong page

In the info-box on the right hand side, the area "1580 km²" links incorrectly to the page "1 E7 km²".

It should link to "1 E9 km²". There doesn't seem to be a way to fix this, as it seems to be encoded somewhere else.

(While I'm at it, the text mentions 1579km² (cf 1580)... we should be consistent, so which is more authoritative?)

Boundary review

The Times of February 24, 1971 has a story 'GLC seeks boundary review to extend its authority', which is pretty much self-explanatory. Morwen - Talk 23:03, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Ken suggested expanding the boundaries to the M25 with a press release in 2004 [1] after the result of a telephone poll by MORI. As far as I can tell nothing further came of it other than a seminar. Mrsteviec 06:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

History

There's some interesting history about early proposals for creating Greater London here if anyone's interested. G-Man * 18:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Population

Where did all the residents go? Even from 1970 to 1980 there was just under one million people moving out of London. Was it one group of people or was it spread over all demographics? Greater_London#Population - Ctbolt 04:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
