Added some additional information.. still loads to add so this is a work in process... Panthro 21:20, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
I recognise the style evolved from a list of dates and events! On a much smaller scale I had the same structure on Airdrie Public Observatory before copying the important bits to the top of the article under their own Level 2 headings, but also leaving the "Chronology" section with sub-sections for the years of interest.
This gives the best of both worlds; I've inserted a Level 2 "History" section, under the History section important/significant/interesting stuff can by written about more expansively without keeping to an inflexible chronological flow; under the Chronology section the time-line can be illicited while the text can be really pared back allowing the reader a quick read without being burdened by prose.
Keep the prose to the top under a suitable heading.
Have only bare facts in under the Chronology subheadings.

Merlin? Really? Citation?

between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 19 km, use 19 km, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 19 km.

The location indicated by the red dot is very wrong. It is no where near Airdrie. I will see if I can sort it.
Indeed, I just noticed that. Fixed: the longtitude was way out. Panthro 12:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
This article should be moved back to Airdrie, not Airdrie, North Lanarkshire. Granted there are other towns in the world called Airdrie, but they would have been named after this one so should be listed on a disambiguation page, e.g. London and Glasgow. I haven't got the time to do the change just now, so can anyone oblige?-- ML5 ( talk) 08:08, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
POPULATION PROBLEM
I'm sorry, I'm not sure where to put this, but I think the population is maybe wrong? I followed the link provided and it led to Airdrie and Shotts - and the population given seems to be just the population for men!? I think this link would perhaps give a more accurate statistic: http://www.northlan.gov.uk/your+council/facts+and+figures/health+and+care/needs+and+resource+factfile+2002.pdf I dont want to change it incase I'm wrong, but if someone in the know could check and make the appropriate changes that'd be appreciated, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.192.35 ( talk) 21:31, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I think someone is having a laugh putting Derek Riordan and John Fashnu in the notable airdrie footballers section. However I have thought of a few of my own: Bryan Prunty, Peter Grant and Sean Higgins — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.184.20 ( talk) 23:12, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Removed Moffat Mills as a satellite village. More of an area within the town, rather than a satellite like the others, I'd have said. Jesuschristposed ( talk) 21:33, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

would be nice to add a section (and new page?) about the Commonhead Mining Disaster, in which 17 were killed due to a firedamp explosion. a memorial has recently been put up in Airdrie so it makes sense to document it. RedAuburn ( talk) 20:39, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
