Thanks for review. I'll get started on the issues.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:51, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@The Rambling Man: All issues have been addressed. Can you take another look. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:47, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For the inflated values, can we limit to say the nearest 1,000? I think you can use r=-3 in the inflate template for that. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 12:00, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Used rounding parameter in templates. Will that work? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:51, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Something's gone a bit awry, there are several "last salary of GB£0" now. I also don't think you need GB in there, £ is pretty commonly associated with GB. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 09:36, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: Got help from the Help Desk and the solution is to use the FXConvert template with less rounding. I have done the editing accordingly. Will that work? --Doug Coldwell (talk) 13:24, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
