PMR!!!
Andrew and I were going to make a PMR website on Moink maybe. Good job, keep up the good wiki work! Acumensch 03:00, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Your Comment
Thanks. I'm glad it made you laugh; I chuckled over that one myself when it occurred to me, and while it may not be the most encyclopedic-toned remark, it's sufficiently ephemeral that I figured I should go ahead.

Glad to have improved your morning!

Skateboarding Wikiproject
I was browsing through Wikipedia and was amazed that there wasn't a wikiproject on skateboarding. So I looked around related pages and found you. What happened to this: User:Liface/Skateboarding? It seems lik a good idea so why wasnt it 'officially' created? --Hdt83 Chat 08:44, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Images
Hey Liface, long time no chat.. just to let you know I've tagged the Jess Margera image you uploaded as replaceable fair use and removed it from the article.. this is part of a big cleanup, basically all non-free pictures (screenshot, promotional etc) that only serve to show what a person looks like are being rooted out.. if I tag any other of your images it's very likely for the same reason. DVD screenshots should only be used on the article about the DVD, rather than people featured in it.. Cheers,  Dei z  talk 14:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Harned.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Harned.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 10:49, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Philmargera.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Philmargera.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

NEWS OF IMPORT
To Whom It May Concern, It has come to my attention that in dream and nightmare certain bleak realities reveal themselves. In sleeping hours I have seen visions of wormlike monstrosities with modulated, clay-like extremities working their way across the floor of my bedroom. It is bleakly true that I thought they were dream for but a while, however, it has become apparent that they are true, tangible forms of an alien menace. I awoke one morning to find one trapped under my bookshelf! I felt driven mad with rage and misunderstanding to see the writhing form underneath my overturned shelf, but it was clear that they were in my room the night prior. When it saw me, a formless pseudopod enveloped its head and it instantly incinerated, setting my room partially smoldered. There are others, they are examining us, and they let us see them in our sleep but leave no evidence! I found the one in a billion mistake they ever made. They are a hateful race from outer space, I've heard them speak, they send universal emotional signals that resonate with the metals in the environment, they hate everything, they examine and judge races then destroy them. They're so powerful! We can't detect them! They are trying to destroy our sun! Please, disseminate this information! It is vital the people tell their government what is occurring! Do not let the hateful alien worms take our planet over! With utmost haste, Jackson Trebalyadny —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.98.236.231 (talk) 03:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ethniccleansing.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ethniccleansing.JPG. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Request for help
I am an unregistered editor, and I attempted to edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=College_tuition_in_the_United_States&action=history where I see you have edited recently, but 'Nasnema' just now apparently vandalised the page, and reverted my edits, falsely claiming that I did not cite my sources; I did cite my sources.

I am a religious person who believes in God, and I do not wish to cause unnecessary pain or trouble for 'Nasnema,' but also, I must defend the truth and what is right: It would appear that this user is valdalising this page, & falsely claiming that I am --which makes a good case that I should not join Wikipedia.

Bougival

Bougival is a suburban commune in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region in Northern France. It is located 15.3 km west from the centre of Paris, on the left bank of the River Seine, on the departmental border with Hauts-de-Seine. In 2019, Bougival had a population of 8,790.

As the site where many of the Impressionists (including Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Berthe Morisot and Auguste Renoir) painted country scenes along the Seine, the town today hosts a series of six historical placards, known as the "Impressionists Walk", at locations from which the noted painters depicted the scenes of Bougival.

Bougival is also noted as the site of the Machine de Marly, a sprawling, complicated hydraulic pumping device that began supplying the massive quantity of water required by the fountains at Palace of Versailles in the late 17th century. Considered one of the foremost engineering accomplishments of its era, the cacophonous, breakdown-prone apparatus comprised fourteen waterwheels (approximately 38 feet in diameter) driven by the current of the Seine — in turn powering more than 250 pumps, delivering water up a 500-foot vertical rise through a series of pumping stations, holding tanks, reservoirs, pipes and mechanical linkages. In use until 1817, the machine was subsequently updated, replaced with another pumping building in 1858 and finally replaced by an electrical generator in 1963. The building itself remained until 1968. Remnants are visible today at the riverbank.

In Bougival, Georges Bizet composed the opera Carmen at his home on Rue Ivan Tourguenievf on the Seine, close to where Russian novelist and playwright Ivan Turgenev had a dacha built, named Les Frênes (current-day Villa Viardot). A local monument commemorates the Montgolfier brothers, pioneers of flight; the commune hosts the annual Festival of Bougival et des Coteaux de Seine.

History
In the 19th century, Bougival emerged as a fashionable suburb of Paris. Pauline Viardot had a villa there, as did her paramour Ivan Turgenev, who died in the town in 1883. Bougival was also known as the "Cradle of Impressionism" during the Belle Époque. Painters Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Sisley among others painted the light, sky, and water of this area. Alexandre Dumas, fils set parts of his novel The Lady of the Camellias in Bougival.

The Junior division of the British School of Paris (formerly the English School of Paris) was located in Bougival up until 2008. Prior to the English School, it was a Catholic all-girls school called Marymount in the 1960s. It was reported that the Germans occupied the estate during World War II, along with the nuns that lived there, due to the estate's vantage point of the Seine River. Rennequin Sualem

Transport
Bougival is served by Bougival station on the Transilien Paris – Saint-Lazare suburban rail line. This station is located at the border between the commune of Bougival and the commune of La Celle-Saint-Cloud, on the La Celle-Saint-Cloud side of the border.

Two multiple locks on the River Seine are located in Bougival.

Education
Schools in Bougival include:

Public preschools:
 * Ecole maternelle Monet
 * Ecole maternelle Peintre Gérôme

Public elementary schools:
 * Ecole élémentaire Claude Monet
 * Ecole élémentaire Auguste Renoir

There is a private school, Ecole privée Sainte-Thérèse/Collège privée Sainte Thérèse, that goes from preschool through junior high school level 3e.

Nearby public secondary schools:

Junior high schools:
 * Collège Jean Moulin - Croissy-sur-Seine
 * Collège Victor Hugo - La Celle-Saint-Cloud
 * Collège Pasteur - La Celle-Saint-Cloud
 * Collège Pierre et Marie Curie - Le Pecq

Senior high schools/sixth form colleges:
 * Lycée Corneille (La Celle Saint Cloud)

The Bibliothèque Emile Richebourg is the community's public library.

Notable residents
Rennequin Sualem, inventor of the Marly Machine, died in Bougival in 1708. Ivan Turgenev died in Bougival in 1883, as well as Georges Bizet in 1875. Pauline Viardot made Bougival her home. Gabrielle d'Estrées had a château there (destroyed in the 19th century).

The town has since been home to noted residents including Guillaume Depardieu, Jean-Louis Aubert, Michel Rocard, Laurent Garnier, Jean-Marie Hullot, Jean Michel Jarre, Benjamin Castaldi, Neymar, Charles-Louis Havas and Gilbert Montagné have been residents of Bougival.

Albert Schweitzer hospital
The Franco-German Nobel Peace Prize winner Albert Schweitzer (1875–1965) founded his hospital in Lambaréné in 1913. Today, the Hôpital Albert Schweitzer comprises departments of Internal Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, a maternity clinic, a dentistry clinic and since 1981 a Medical Research Unit, which focuses on malaria research.

Climate
Lambaréné has a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classification Aw). The average temperature at Lambaréné is 27 °C. The rainy season starts in October and ends in June (including a short dry season in December/January). The long dry season is from July to September.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the Czech Republic are granted some protections, but may still face legal difficulties not experienced by non-LGBT residents. In 2006, the country legalized registered partnerships (Czech: registrované partnerství) for same-sex couples, and a bill legalizing same-sex marriage was being considered by the Parliament of the Czech Republic before its dissolution for the 2021 Czech legislative election, when it died in the committee stage.

Czech law bans discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. A 2013 Pew Research Center poll showed that 59% of Czechs thought that homosexuality should be accepted by society, the second highest rate among the Eastern Europe countries surveyed. Opinion polls have found increasing levels of support for same-sex marriage, with more than 67% of Czechs supporting the legalization of same-sex marriage as of 2020. Numerous Czech-based corporations have declared an open letter requesting same-sex marriage within the nation, which was sent on 6 September 2023.

Legality of same-sex sexual activity
Same-sex sexual activity was decriminalized in 1962 after scientific research by Kurt Freund led to the conclusion that homosexual orientation cannot be changed (see the History of penile plethysmograph). The age of consent was equalized in 1990 to 15 – it had previously been 18 for homosexuals. The Army does not question the sexual orientation of soldiers, and allows homosexuals to serve openly. Homosexual prostitution was decriminalized in 1990.

Recognition of same-sex relationships
There is legal recognition of same-sex couples. Since 2001, the Czech Republic has granted "persons living in a common household" inheritance and succession rights in housing, as well as hospital and prison visitation rights similar to married heterosexual couples.

A bill legalizing registered partnership, with some of the rights of marriage, was rejected four times, in 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2005. However, on 16 December 2005, a new registered partnership bill was passed by the Czech House of Representatives; it was adopted by the Senate on 26 January 2006, but later vetoed by President Václav Klaus. On 15 March 2006, the President's veto was overturned by the Chamber of Deputies and the law came into force on 1 July 2006. Since this date, the Czech Republic has allowed registered partnerships for same-sex couples, with many of the rights of marriage (except for adoption rights, joint property rights, widow's/widower's pension, and the title marriage).

On 12 June 2018, a bill to legalise same-sex marriage, sponsored by 46 deputies, was introduced to the Chamber of Deputies. In response, three days later, a group of 37 deputies proposed a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The bill allowing same-sex marriage requires a simple majority in the Chamber of Deputies, whereas constitutional amendments require 120 votes. On 22 June 2018, the Government announced its support for the same-sex marriage bill. A vote on the same-sex marriage bill was expected to take place in January 2019, but it was moved to March 2019, and ultimately lapsed with the October 2021 election. In 2023, the Czech government indicated that the legislation of same-sex marriage rights may be reconsidered.

In 2024, the legislation of same-sex marriage was turned down. Instead, a compromise bill was passed, in which same-sex partnerships would be enshrined into the civil code, equating partnerships to marriage in all aspects except joint adoption, although step-child adoption would be permitted. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2025.

Adoption and family planning
LGBT people can individually adopt children in the Czech Republic. Ban on adoption by those living in registered partnership was struck down by the Constitutional Court in 2016. Stepchild adoption will be allowed starting January 1, 2025.

The laws don't include provisions for joint adoption of a child by a same-sex couple. However, individuals who live in same-sex relationships (be it informal or registered partnerships) can adopt a child concurrently, thus bringing parental rights to both. Attempts to change the law to allow also joint adoption by same-sex couples have failed repeatedly since 2016

IVF treatment requires a designation of male partner (father-to-be for legal purposes) by the IVF recipients.

Discrimination protections

In 2009, a comprehensive anti-discrimination law was passed, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, education, housing and access to goods and services. Section 2 of the Anti-Discrimination Act (Antidiskriminační zákon) defines "direct discrimination" as follows: Direct discrimination shall mean an act, including omission, where one person is treated less favourably than another is, has been or would be treated in a comparable situation, on grounds of race, ethnic origin, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, belief or opinions.

Gender identity and expression
The first sex reassignment surgery in the country took place in 1942, when a transgender man subsequently changed his legal sex to male. Currently, 50-60 people undergo such surgeries annually in the country.

Hormonal treatment is prescribed by Sexology and can be obtained after living in the preferred social role for at least one year with a positive evaluation from Psychology and Endocrinology. Sexologists may require additional evaluations or withhold treatment for any period of time.

The change of the gender marker requires an individual to undergo surgical castration.

Transgender related surgeries including those necessary for the gender marker change require an approval by a committee at the Ministry of Health. To be approved, the applicant has to undergo one year of hormonal treatment, change their first name to a neutral one and get a divorce if they are married since the process will change the gender marker and same sex marriage is not permitted by law.

On 27 June 2021 President Miloš Zeman told CNN Prima News that he did "not understand "transgender people "at all." He claimed: "If you undergo a sex-reassignment surgery, you are committing a crime for inflicting self-harm. It's a very dangerous procedure. These transgenders truly disgust me."

In May 2024, the constitutional court ruled that forced surgery and sterilization of transgender individuals is unconstitutional and gives the government 18 months to change the laws.

Military service
Since 1999, Czech law has prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation in the military.

In 2004, the Army of the Czech Republic refused to enter the service of a trans woman, Jaroslava Brokešová, who had previously undergone an official transition, according to assessing doctors. A military spokesperson said that the reason was not her transgender identity. Another trans recruit was rejected in 2014 due to alleged "reduction in the morale of combat units". By 2015, the trans identity of candidates and service candidates was no longer considered relevant to military service.

Blood donation
All citizens regardless of the gender of their partner are allowed to donate blood in the Czech Republic since 1 July 2024. Previously people with a same gender partner were banned from blood donation. The new rules do not allow blood donation for all people who report having anal sex with a new sexual partner in the past 4 months.

Public opinion
In a 1988 survey, 23% of those questioned considered homosexuality a deviation, while in a survey conducted in 1994 only 6% of those asked shared this opinion. Concerning registered partnerships, in a 1994 survey 60% of the respondents expressed themselves in favour of registered partnerships. An opinion poll conducted in 2002 showed 76% of respondents considered a law on registered partnerships to be needed. In 2004, public opinion showed a strong level of support for registered partnerships for same-sex couples, with 60% agreeing with such a law. A 2005 survey showed that 43% of Czechs personally knew someone gay or lesbian, 42% supported same-sex marriage and 62% supported registered partnerships, while only 18% supported same-sex adoption. In 2006, the Eurobarometer showed that 52% of Czechs supported full same-sex marriage (above the EU average of 44%) while 39% supported same-sex adoption. The 2015 Eurobarometer survey indicated a record high support of 57% among the Czechs, a five percent increase from the one in 2006. The annual CVVM poll on gay rights has shown slightly lower, though increasing, levels of support:

In March 2012, a survey found that 23% of Czechs would not want to have gay or lesbian neighbours. This represented a significant drop from 2003, when 42% of Czechs said that they would not want to have gay or lesbian neighbours.

A 2013 Pew Research Center opinion survey showed that 80% of Czechs believed homosexuality should be accepted by society, while 16% believed it should not. 84% of people between 18 and 29 believed it should be accepted, 87% of people between 30 and 49 and 72% of people over 50.

A 2014 survey by the Academy of Sciences found that support for same-sex marriage had fallen slightly on previous years. In general, those opposing the extension of gay rights across the survey more frequently identified themselves as poor, right-leaning, pensioners and Roman Catholics.

In May 2015, PlanetRomeo, an LGBT social network, published its first Gay Happiness Index (GHI). Gay men from over 120 countries were asked about how they feel about society's view on homosexuality, how do they experience the way they are treated by other people and how satisfied are they with their lives. The Czech Republic was ranked 18th, just above Austria and below Belgium, with a GHI score of 66.

In April 2019, according to a survey conducted by CVVM, 78% of Czechs would not mind having a gay or lesbian neighbor, a 3% increase from 2018.

In June 2019, according to a survey conducted between 4–14 May 2019 by CVVM, 48% of respondents said that homosexuality would not cause difficulties in coexistence with people in the city or community where they live, while 42% disagreed. Compared to 2008, this represented an increase of 11%. The same survey also found that 39% of Czechs have a gay or lesbian friend or acquaintance, whereas 50% do not have one and 11% "don't know". Compared to 2018, this represented a 5% increase.

A Median poll, made public in January 2020, found that 67% of Czechs supported same-sex marriage. It also found that 78% of Czechs agreed that homosexuals and lesbians should be allowed to adopt their spouse's child, and 62% of Czechs supported full, joint adoption rights for same-sex couples. The poll showed that inhabitants of Bohemia were more likely to support LGBT rights than inhabitants of Moravia. It also revealed a large generational gap, with younger respondents overwhelmingly in support, but people aged 55 and above being mostly opposed. A gender gap was found as well, with women being more supportive of same-sex marriage and same-sex adoption than men.

The 2023 Eurobarometer found that 60% of Czechs thought same-sex marriage should be allowed throughout Europe, and 70% agreed that "there is nothing wrong in a sexual relationship between two persons of the same sex".

Living conditions
In contrast to the limitations of the communist era, the Czech Republic has become socially relatively liberal since the Velvet Revolution in 1989, and is one of the most gay-friendly countries in the European Union. This increasing tolerance is probably helped by the low levels of religious belief in the country, particularly when compared to its neighbours Poland, Austria and Slovakia.

There is a comparatively large gay community in Prague, much less so in the rest of the country, with the capital acting as a magnet for the country's gay youth. The city has a large and well-developed gay nightlife scene, particularly centred around the district of Vinohrady, with at least 20 bars and clubs and 4 saunas. Gay venues are much more sparsely spread in other Czech towns, however.

In 2012, Fundamental Rights Agency performed a survey on discrimination among 93,000 LGBT people across the European Union. Compared to the EU average, the Czech Republic showed relatively positive results. However, the outcomes also showed that there is still large space for improvement for LGBT rights. 43% of Czech respondents indicated that none or only few of their family members knew about their sexual orientation. Only one in five respondents was open about their sexual orientation to all their colleagues or classmates. 71% of the respondents were selectively open about their orientation at work or school. 52% of gay men and 30% of lesbian women avoided holding hands in public outside of gay neighbourhoods for fear of being assaulted, threatened or harassed.

Public events
Brno hosts an annual gay and lesbian film festival, known as Mezipatra, with venues also in other cities. It has been held every November since 2000. In the years 2008, 2009 and 2010, a gay festival took place in the country's second largest city of Brno. The first Prague Pride parade took place in August 2011 with official support from Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda and other politicians. The event attracted some negative responses from religious conservative groups and the far-right. The second Prague Pride parade took place in August 2012, establishing the tradition of holding the gay pride parade in Prague annually. Since 2014, the organizers banned any promotional activities of pedophiles at the venues connected with the Prague Pride after several pedophiles drew public attention the preceding year by distributing leaflets stating that "Pedophilia does not equal abuse of children".

Late 2010 saw the introduction of the first officially produced gay guide and map for the Czech capital which was produced by the Prague Information Service, under the aegis of Prague City Council.

Miscellaneous
I've noted that the entry states that Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed at the Bell Inn in Sadler Gate in December 1745. This is incorrect, though possibly some of his men stayed there, as they did at the George Inn (just around the corner on Irongate) and at many of the houses and taverns in the town. The prince, stayed at the large and grand Exeter House on Full Street, which stood on the banks of the Derwent.

Destruction of City Centre - there is an appropriate remark in 2nd edition Pevsner on the clearance of the city centre for the inner ring road and bridges. (roughly 'as a road scheme it is claimed to be a triumph, but as townscape it is a disaster.' )I'll enter it when I find my copy again and check out.Linuxlad 17:26, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * When was the inner ring road built? Not mentioned in the piece. james gibbon  12:42, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Mid 70s I dimly recollect - Pevsner 2nd edition was published in 1978. Bob
 * I see - thanks. I first moved here (Derby) in 1989, and it was certainly here then! james gibbon  19:04, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes rather before then (though post-'72 I think, when I effectively left Derby) - the guy who who did the ring road for Derby Borough moved down and did Gloucester Dock for BWB - and was under contract to rejig Sharpness Dock when I first bumped into him in the early 90s. Linuxlad

I see that someone has totally removed all this section as POV - I find that surprising, especially the Pevsner quote, and hope that they will justify. Linuxlad 12:52, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Derby is fail man theres no culture or anything its all made up. we have 1 church ..all the clubs are sausage fests and about 40% of the population are over weight and the rest are gypsies  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.193.217.10 (talk) 06:50, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Urban Area against Borough population
I was wondering why Derby has a bigger Borough population than Urban Area, I have always thought the Urban Area would have extended further than the Borough, i am probably wrong, but would like to know why I am nevertheless. --Wilde89 17:23, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Changes to Media and railway section
I have made some small changes to the media section. If anyone objects, feel free to roll them back (I'm new to this :) )

I've also changed the article to reflect the fact that train manufacture continues in the town to some extent.

(1.8.06) The 'Media' section looks to have been changed again recently - BBC Radio Derby, is the BBC local alternative, aimed at the over 50s, broadcasting on 104.5 FM - I wouldn't personally agree with this; I know loads of people under this age who enjoy the features it broadcasts. (I'm 18 myself!)

All BBC local radio services are aimed primarily at the over 55s, although they take audience from across the age spectrum.

I can't vouch for the 55 'cut-off' line, but it is true that local BBC stations are aimed at a mature audience. The only time I'm even aware of a large youth audience paying attention to the broadcast is when the football's on. - Hayter 22:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Deaf Community
I added a section to history on Derby's Deaf community - I'm not sure whetehr this is the best place for it or to start a new section. Derby is nationally famous for its large sign language using community and for as a cultural centre for the Deaf World. It's a big ommisin if it doesn't get a mention somehwere on the page. I could ask permission from Harold Mold whether perhaps a photograph or two from his Book "Derby Deaf" which chronicles Derby's Deaf Community might be used - in which case it might be worth generated a separate linked article with more detail? --Topmark 14:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

occasionally people erroneously edit this entry to say the Royal School for the Deaf (RSD)in Derby has closed. This due to confusion with the much publicised closure of the "Derby College for Deaf people"after the withdrawal of LSC funding.

RSD remained open and has now taken over residential post 16 prevision for Deaf students in Derby in partnership with Derby College. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.80.97 (talk) 11:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

History
I don't want to disturb the article without something worthwhile to include but before it is commiited to CD perhaps something could be researched about its function as a trading post, the function of the Roman Garrison, the carriage of lead from Wirksworth and its position relative to Rynield Street.

Also there was once a later castle though it is almost completely forgotten, which would explain the name of Castlefields. I would have expected it to be at the top of what is now Bradshaw Way, but what clues I've gained suggest it was on Cockpit Hill (now completely hidden under the Eagle Centre. see http://homepage.mac.com/philipdavis/English%20sites/769.html

Another item to explore is the origin of the Buck in the Park (also the name of a pub in Friargate) part of the Derby coat of arms and the emblem of Derby before the snail took over. A fine example is those on the spandrels of the Fiargate bridge, though they don't show up very well in the photograph

I think it would be nice to mention Denby pottery within Derby's industry. Also Lara Croft was created in Derby and the actor 'Robert Lindsay' is from Derby —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GumballMod (talk • contribs).
 * Denby is some way outside Derby so would be more appropriately mentioned in the Derbyshire article. Similarly, Robert Lindsay is from Ilkeston, not Derby.--Michig 11:24, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't Denby also have a factory of somekind opposite the DRI?

 * That would be Royal Crown Derby I think. Chevin 18:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I don't think it would be worthwhile mentioning Denby pottery either. Not meaning to offend, but Denby is not IN Derby, it's IN Denby. Hence the name, DENBY pottery. (Aml96 (talk) 15:04, 22 June 2008 (UTC))

Waste Management
Suggest the page has an extra section about waste management and recycling in the city. Snowman 17:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

districts
I think the disrict links could do with a cleanup. Maybe changing to the official wards of the city and removing some unnecessary links Dommccas 01:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Wards
As above i have put a table on this page with the official wards and all areas contained within it. I'm currently working on Allestree which as a ward contains what was Markeaton Village. It doesn't seem theres a lot of interest in changing derby at the moment. However i was wondering what people would think if i merged markeaton and allestree with a view to having only 17 ward pages with all the information for any area's contained in the ward in the correesponding page. ie have Markeaton in Allestree, Little Chester in Darley Abbey etc. With most of these there should be no problem as the smaller articles such as Heatherton Village really offer no use as a seperate article. But markeaton has a long history and maybe deserves it's own article or a redirect to the right part of the allestree article. i'm going to go ahead and add Markeaton to Allestree. if anyone objects leave a message here or on my talk page User_talk:Dommccas or just change it. It would be good to get a consensus though. Just wondering what people's thoughts were on this.

cheers

14:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Sign your comments officially please, it's much easier. As for your idea, as a resident of the Allestree I can't see it being a big deal - we can always split it later if enough is gathered for seperate articles Philipwhiuk 23:31, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Origins
I would dispute the assertion that Derby, along with York, is one of the few places in England to have retained a name of Viking origin. All place names ending in 'by', of which there are many in the East Midlands, are Viking in origin. Ulysses54 07:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree completely, and think someone should change it... this article is at the minute full of both unnecessary and incorrect information. --88.106.127.58 (talk) 09:37, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

The section on Derby's early history was of very poor quality, so I have replaced it with much fuller account. One problem, however, is that I can't cope with Wiki's referencing system. So I've cited references in the main text. I would be grateful if someone can replace them with Wiki style references/

Famous Derby Residents + Random
John Osbourne (Look Back In Anger, The Entertainer) lived in Derby with his wife... this being the setting of Look Back In Anger. Some the scenes from the film were also film in Derby. James Morrison (Singer) was 'discovered' in Derby if that's of any relevance. hmmmm there is probably plenty of things i've forgotten. I just think even though the city certainly lacks culture, it surely has more than just a football club. Plus there are more venues than just the Victoria Inn and more famous/popular bands having played there than Snow Patrol and The View.

Wikipedia is an encylopedia, not a list of who played were. Try to keep it short. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamwade (talk • contribs) 02:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Transport: Bus and Coach section — Red Arrow service description sounds like an advertisement?
I thought that the way the Red Arrow service is described as "successful" and "operating up to every 15 minutes, and up to early hours at weekends" sounded a little like advertising.

Shopping and Nightlife
This section is pretty terrible, the "Many cities have a thriving nightlife, Derby is no exception" bit especially. Also, the entirety of Derby isn't split into Sadler Gate and Westfield. Especially as I'm pretty damned sure that Sadler Gate is just the single street. I'm unsure of how to go about describing Derby properly though. :/ 88.106.6.69 (talk) 13:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Bombing of RR and other places in WW1 & 2
I added a note to the historical section on the (comparatively light) bombing of Derby, especially Royce's, in WW1 & WW2. I've since come across a little book 'The bombing of Rolls-Royce at Derby in two World Wars' by Kirk, Felix & Bartnik (published by the RR Heritage Trust, 2002). On a quick read, the 'false factory' appears to have been part of a 'Starfish' site, which was in the fields down at Foremark apparently, but is only part of the story.

Everything on Wikipedia to do with Derby is just wrong!
I have lived in Derby all my life and now I will point out some things that are SO wrong it is unbelievable.

1. Mackworth Estate has NEVER been called "Little London" so that is wrong.

2. There is not a lively punk atmosphere, the Punx Picnic isn't famous and there is never any adverts for it.

3.WHO IN GODS NAME ARE ANTI PASTI, AND WHAT HITS DID THEY HAVE!?

4. Little Chester? LITTLE CHESTER? No. Never heard it, never been called that, not on any maps apart from Google. Stupid.

5. You can't just walk into Robert Ludlam Theatre. It is in a school, idiots!

6. "The Derby Ram" is never used at Derby County football matches, ever. It is "Steve Bloomer's Watching".

7. Derby, one of the inspirations for Central Park in New York? Sure.

8. How come Model Car collectors wouldn't get a mention, or jewellery collectors, but Keith Hamer, a Test Card Collector, does?

This article needs a serious cleanup. The people who put the information on have likely never been to Derby, just got the information off Google. Clean it up, residents of Derby! Koshoes (talk) Andrew R (talk) 10:07, 8 April 2009 (UTC)14:26, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

I generally agree with your sentiments but I am pretty sure that this article has been mostly composed by over enthusiastic Derby residents. The history section is far too long and seemingly namedrops anybody who has ever been to Derby. The lively punk atmosphere is quite a lie... The Victoria Inn is a very small underground scruffy place and, although Derby has little to offer musically compared to larger cities, there are larger/more attractive venues. Some other complaints:

1. Why does Chester Green need a grid reference?

2. How many translations of Anglo-Saxon/Old Norse do we need in order to establish Derby's origins?

3. STOP NAME DROPPING EVERY INDUSTRIALIST/NINETEENTH-CENTURY FIGURE!!!

4. I'm pretty sure every, or nearly every, other settlement in the UK has 'fairtrade status'... it does not make Derby special.

5.'The Revive Healthy Living Centre' is not a 'Landmark'.

6. Saying St. Alkmund's was 'magnificent' with a 'glorius' churchyard is POV and is ridiculusly over-the-top.

7.We do not need to know what airlines serve East Midlands Airport in the 'Derby' page... this should be covered in the East Midlands Airport page where I'm sure it already is.

8.The Casualties, UK Subs and Agnostic Front are not 'big names' these were not even 'big names' back in the day. More importantly in the before the mid-80s Derby hosted many actual 'big names' notably a Smiths gig for The Old Grey Whistle Test in The Assembley Rooms and The Sex Pistols being banned from Derby sparking off their being banned in other cities. (I'm not even sure if I would mention these two things... I just feel that the hardcore punk thing is very overstated).

Two comments on the above:
Little Chester is the area around Chester Green, a hamlet which became incorporated into Derby as it expanded. It should be possible to corroborate this. In the meantime I suggest a reference to the website Chester Green - (Little Chester) may be helpful.

I can't believe Koshoes has lived in the city for so long without hearing Derby County F.C. referred to as the Rams or seen their badge or the emblem on the facade of Pride Park Stadium. Chevin (talk) 16:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Notable People
I have been attempting (without much success so far) to remove some people from the "Notable People" list who are not actually from Derby, but have a variety of increasingly tenuous connections to it. This has been discussed a little on my talk page, but I wanted to see if we can broaden the debate a little. I would contend for example that Florence Nightingale should not be included, as the only real connection is her home at Lea Hurst near Cromford, visibly not part of Derby. There are others on the list who are not really from Derby at all and have no real connection with it, or even the County of Derbyshire, other than the most tenuous, such as Henry Cavendish, whose relatives chose to bury him in Derby but had no other connection and Erasmus Darwin, who was born in Notts and lived in Lichfield. At the same time, during a purge on what was once a much longer list in June 2009, people like Alan Bates, born and raised in Derby, were inexplicably removed. Sometimes these things are a matter of pride and therefore sensitive, but Wikipedia surely needs to be both accurate and true? Jamesinderbyshire (talk) 16:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I think these cases are certainly worthy of debate, and the project guidelines at WikiProject UK geography might be of some assistance in helping us sort it out. The guidelines advise including "A note on any notable births in the settlement" (no debate there) and "A note on any notable residents in the settlement". This is significant in that it allows the inclusion of non-native Derby residents such as Darwin. I have some sympathy for the case Jamesinderbyshire makes but I would be less strict than him in wanting to limit the criteria to those born in Derby. It is also suggested to us that we "Do not use a list format in this section. Please write this as prose". Of course, the advantage of changing to this approach is that it would give us more scope to spell out the exact nature of each individual's connection to Derby, whereas the current format lacks any such context. Jellyman (talk) 19:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I am also more for inclusion than James, I agree with jellyman that the way to go is slowly to pick them off from the list, inserting them in the body of the article and expand details a bit. Off2riorob (talk) 20:02, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * To expand on what I was saying before: I do think that the inclusion of some individuals is debatable at best. My tuppence worth on some of those mentioned:
 * Nightingale Fairly tenuous, never lived in Derby, but has been somewhat "adopted" due to local (ish) connections. Hard to justify inclusion really, despite statues and a pub named after her etc. If anyone is to be removed, she should probably be the first.
 * Cavendish Again, quite a stretch, as burial in Derby is his only firm connection. Like Nightingale, there are family links with the county, rather than Derby itself, and indirect memorials such as the former Henry Cavendish School. Another one I would be happy to lose, really. I should point out that the Cavendish area in Derby actually derives its name from the local Cavendish Hotel, which in turn is from the Cavendish family generally (Dukes of Devonshire etc.) rather than H.C. specifically.
 * Royce One justification given for his inclusion is an unsourced mention in his article of him living in Derby circa 1912. Maxwell Craven's Illustrated History of Derby reports that Royce lived outside the town at Quarndon, and then only briefly. Again, personal connection to Derby is limited; Rolls-Royce is undoubtedly important to Derby, and Royce undoubtedly important to Rolls-Royce, but I'm not convinced that makes Royce himself an important Derby individual. Another one relying too much on having a statue somewhere!
 * Darwin This is one case where I strongly support inclusion. Darwin was indeed born elsewhere and is strongly associated with Lichfield but to claim he had nothing to do with Derby is just wrong. He spent most of the last 20 years of his life living in the town, at Full Street. He was a member of the circle of intellectual and scientific elite in Derby at that time, such as Whitehurst, Wright (who painted him), Burdett, Pickford etc., a group strongly connected to the Lunar Society of which Darwin was a key member. Even more significantly, he founded the Derby Philosophical Society. Darwin is commemorated by a suite in the Assembly Rooms, a plaque near the sight of his Derby home and a likeness on Exeter Bridge. I think that makes for a pretty significant impact on the town for a non-native. Keep Erasmus!!
 * I know I've used memorials etc. as part of my Darwin argument but this is extra evidence, my main argument is based on his long residence in Derby and contribution to the community. Conversely, with some of the others, the memorials are just about all there is to tie them to the place! To put it another way: Queen Victoria visited Derby a few times, including one state visit when she knighted the mayor on the station platform; Victoria Street and Empress Road are Derby streets commemorating her; and there is a statue of her (originally at the Spot before moving to the DRI). Despite these tangential connections, would anyone argue for putting her on the list? No, didn't think so. Something to bear in mind when we consider some of our other so-called "Derbeians"....

Population figures
A new edit goes back to the assertion (from a reference to the Business Link website that is factually incorrect) that Derby was the 2001 Census 18th-ranked Urban Area in the UK. This is not true, as a quick check on National Statistics website will confirm - Derby does not even rank in the top 25 largest Urban Areas in the UK. (see table 3.1 on that PDF). The problem here is with definitions - "Urban Area" is a very specific National Statistics definition used to compare conurbation areas and is not the same as "City", or "Settlement", both of which are rather more vaguely defined. Compare with the Wikipedia article List of largest United Kingdom settlements by population, where Derby is listed (still incorrectly) as 22nd largest - this table conflates Urban Areas and Local Authority areas. This can be a minefield, but the new version we have at the top of the Derby article is incorrect and I will attempt to revise it, but would be interested to hear any other views. Thanks. Jamesinderbyshire (talk) 11:21, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Since the article is about the City, the population figures and any ranking associated with them should be those of the city itself (2006 estimate 236,300).--Michig (talk) 12:08, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * What's your source for the City population 2006 estimate please Michig? I suspect that is actually the 2006 National Statistics "Unitary Authority (Derby UA)" estimate. In fact, if we are using NS UA estimates, we can use the 2008 ones which are out now - in that table, Derby Unitary is now estimated at 239,200. Jamesinderbyshire (talk) 12:41, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it was the Derby UA 2006 figure. I hadn't realised that later figures were available.--Michig (talk) 12:58, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, they just came out recently. I would personally be happy to cite Unitary Authority figure as the population of Derby and remove the incorrect ranking figure (which refers to a wrong source on Urban Area populations) and have a corrected ranking figure on Urban Areas - 2001. Ranking on Unitaries is pretty much wierd, as Unitaries don't bear much resemblance to largest actual places. Jamesinderbyshire (talk) 13:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Derby (All Saints) Cathedral
Greetings. Can we now agree as to the true height of the tower ? (212' to the tip of the pinnacles). One has since obtained a copy of the buildings official guide... 212' be their reckoning.

Are there references, sources, for the statement, in Derby "world's first" waterpowered mill was build ?

Raddy Majewski
Someone has added footballer Raddy Majewski to the list of notables. However I can't find any link to Derby. He was born and raised in Poland, only moving to England in 2009 and he's played for Nottingham Forest ever since! Even if he currently lives in Derby (does anyone know if this is the case?), I'm not sure this short period of residence would allow him to be classed as a 'notable' for the city. I'm loathe to delete him arbitarily but he was added by a non-logged-in user so I can't contact them to ask for justification. Can anyone provide any reason not to remove him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neiltonks (talk • contribs) 12:14, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Requested move 8 July 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not Moved, no strong evidence against this as PRIMARY topic and title has been stable for many years Mike Cline (talk) 22:03, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

– It seems fairly evident to me that this city can not be the primary topic. I imagine most people would think of Derby (horse race) before this place. Sampling a few topics that are listed on the disambiguation page (as there are more than 10), the article Derby receives 67% of the pageviews. When adding the Kentucky Derby to the equation, this drops down to 28%. Such a prominent meaning of Derby means that this city cannot possibly be the most likely definition of Derby. Therefore, I propose making "Derby" a disambiguation page with prominent meanings listed, for easy access. MelanieLamont (talk) 22:11, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Derby → Derby, England
 * Derby (disambiguation) → Derby
 * Pageviews: |Derby,_Connecticut|Derby_(horse_race)|Derby,_Kansas|Derby_(disambiguation)|Derby,_Tasmania|Derby,_Western_Australia|Derby_(cocktail)|Earl_of_Derby MelanieLamont (talk) 22:11, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose move I'm not sure I can fully accept your personal opinion, or the evidence you put forward as justification, as being sufficient reason to change the primary topic. My reading of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and looking at the link to the stats, suggests that Derby (the city) does have both greater usage and greater long-term significance than all the other articles beginning with the word "Derby". Had you demonstrated that Derby (horse race) was receiving considerably more traffic than the city, there might be cause to agree with you of a need to change the primary topic to avoid confusion, and reduce reader clicks. However, this is far from the case. Whilst Kentucky Derby clearly has many more page views than Derby, it seems a spurious statistic to insert as justification for requiring change. The two article names are so very distinct. I am sure that if other experienced editors had perceived this as an issue there would by now at least be an entry to the Kentucky Derby article on both the Derby (disambiguation) and the Kentucky (disambiguation) pages, and neither has happened as far as I can see. This proposal seems to be more of a solution looking for a suitable problem to fix. Parkywiki (talk) 10:15, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Support 67% is not a clear primary topic. A search for derby on Google brings up results that are almost all about horse racing. It clearly doesn't fulfill the pageviews criteria, and derbys have been around for a long time, so I would say long-term significance isn't bigger for one of the other. Oh, and the other places called Derby too. Nohomersryan (talk) 15:35, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Support. Not the primary topic by page views. It's likely this page gets extra page views anyway because it has the advantage of being undisambiguated. kennethaw88 • talk 16:45, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per the argument made by kennethaw88. ✉cookiemonster✉ 𝚨755𝛀   18:46, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose For the pageview stats supplied above, Derby gets over 7 times as many hits as its nearest rival Earl of Derby, over 14 times as many as Derby (horse race) and, more importantly, 18 times as many as Derby (disambiguation). That suggests that, at worst, only 1 in 17 visitors to Derby were looking for something else. Google gives you results that are customised to your own preferences and your own country. When I used Google in the UK, all but one on the first page were about the British city (and the other was about the Epsom Derby). --  Dr Greg   talk  20:48, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per Dr Greg - the stats show that the vast majority of people who search on 'derby' find what they're looking for (the city) and have no need to subsequently go to the disambiguation page. All these would be inconvenienced if 'derby' became the disambiguation page. Neiltonks (talk) 08:08, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per Dr Greg/Neiltonks - the stats are pretty clear...Jokulhlaup (talk) 11:29, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Lead section
The lead section of the article was recently edited by User:Haldraper to "cut excessive administrative detail". I think this is the second time they have performed a similar action; I restored these details a few months ago. I'm fine with the removal of the urban area population figure, but is it really "excessive" to have a few words outlining the city's local government arrangements, i.e. the fact it is a unitary authority area and not governed as part of the administrative county? Merely stating Derby is a "city in Derbyshire" doesn't provide much context; city status in the UK is a pretty nebulous honour in itself. As an example, Bristol (a featured article) begins: "Bristol is a city, unitary authority area and county in South West England..." Jellyman (talk) 13:18, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm sure did this with the best of intentions, however I don't think it helps in any way to remove the term "unitary authority" from the lead sentence. Derby can be described as two things: it is very definitely a city, and it is also very definitely a unitary authority. These are entirely different entities, but equally important, gives clarity to the intitial sentence, so it should go back in without the need for a full revert (albeit his/her deletions were quite minor).  There are numerous other examples where mentioning both types of descriptors is accepted in the lead sentence. e.g.for Bristol and Leicester and a similar one for Manchester, Kingston upon Hull, Hereford etc. Noting also that the lead sentence to Nottingham does not clearly state that it, too, is a unitary authority as well as a city, I have now added this key bit of information.  Parkywiki (talk) 17:42, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

I note that, while now apparently accepting the inclusion of the additional information, has cut the opening words from "Derby is a city and unitary authority area..." to "city and unitary authority". Is this appropriate? To my mind, the term "unitary authority" describes the the body that governs the area, not the area itself. The new wording sounds to me a bit like saying "Derbyshire is a county council". Looking around other articles, both are used, but "unitary authority area" seems to be more common. Jellyman (talk) 09:55, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

I agree with the points you raise. I have come across this problem on WP and elsewhere many times. A geographical area and a local government institution are being used interchangeably. They are two quite different things. The main problem is that the same words are used describe both. 'Derby', in this case, mean two different things - a city and a LG authority (it can actually mean several more different things as well). The problem is enormous and just creates endless confusion and discussion. WP has never properly addressed the problem. Look around various articles about cities, historic counties, lieutenancies, unitary authorities, and others. Most of them are muddled because this distinction has not been properly addressed.Roger 8 Roger (talk) 18:04, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

I also agree with the comments by and then. (COI declaration: I have been an employee of both Derby City Council and, currently, by Derbyshire County Council.) The former is a unitary authority, the latter is a county council, as briefly described on the GOV.UK website here. Derby is a city and also a geographical area within which a unitary authority (called Derby City Council) operates. Therefore Derby can be rightly and helpfully described as a unitary authority area in the lead sentence. But to be pedantic and correct, it cannot be said to be a unitary authority. I believe it is helpful - indeed essential - to use the correct description within the lead sentence, but, rather than immediately reverting it to the correct form I have described, I think it would be polite to invite to offer the opportunity to present an an alternative view here first.Parkywiki (talk) 20:50, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Addendum: A quick check (by just looking at what's displayed in the lead sentence in Hovercards), reveals 14 towns, cities or proper place names - out of 55 entries in the current list of unitary authorities in England - have the term unitary authority area within the lead sentences for the placenames. But there were only 2 such entries where only unitary authority is used. Where the articles' titles referred to an electoral region rather than a purely geographical placename, unitary authority area is used 7 times, and unitary authority five times - there, both uses would seem correct. I couldn't be bothered to read all the other articles to get more stats, but it seems to reflect a reasonable amount of accuracy in most of these articles using the word area when describing the regions or places within which these unitary authorities operate.

Suggestions for organizing "Notable people" list
Because this list isn't quite large enough to merit a standalone page, if the entries are broken up by category, the categories should be fairly broad; i.e., collapsing visual arts, music, literature, and enterainment into a single category, and likewise with science, technology, and academia. Sorting alphabetically is the standard for lists like this; chronological sorting is only appropriate for timelines and other lists where that information is essential. OhNo itsJamie Talk 21:42, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with the change to broad categories. I am not so sure about the change you made to alphabetical rather than chronological sorting citing WP:MOS. I have had a quick look in the MOS and cannot find such guidance. Is it not better to keep it as written, given there are dates for the entries and they cover a broad span of years?SovalValtos (talk) 09:14, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if any policies or guidelines specifically declare that name lists should be alphabetized; rather, they single out cases where chronological sorting should be used instead (e.g., timelines, a list of presidents of an institution, etc). Alphabetical seems to be the de facto ordering for most lists except in those cases.  (Manual_of_Style/Lists,  Stand-alone_lists). I don't recall seeing any other "notable people from a place" lists in chronological order. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 16:41, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

I`m continuing to add to the list of notable people in Derby by reconciling what's already there with the Category:People from Derby. I'm making good progress, but my guess is that the list is going to get quite large. That might merit creating a new, separate article for the full list with a link and brief narrative summary in the Derby original. Any thoughts? ArbieP (talk) 12:23, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I expect there are guidelines somewhere for when to split off the subject. Meanwhile continue the good work and perhaps narrow the categories when you see how numbers develop. Chronological sorting works well.SovalValtos (talk) 12:39, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

I've now finished adding Derby notables by reconciliation with Category:People from Derby. I'm not proposing to do the Sportspeople from Derby too! As it now stands, the list is really rather bulky and the four sections each fill a screen - which strikes me as unattractive visually. Some readers might also feel the notables list now dominates the article as a whole in an unwelcome way. Each of the current (four) sections could be split up, perhaps to make seven or eight sections. And/or the whole list could be moved into a new article of its own and linked back with a new narrative summary. Any further thoughts on these two points?

ArbieP (talk) 22:03, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree that the list is a bit unwieldy. When lists get this big, the tendency is to either (1) reduce the font and break the names into columns or (2) spawn a standalone article.  I think (2) is a better approach in this case. Precedents are mixed; Birminghame and Manchester break the list up into alphabetical chunks, whereas Glasgow, Edinburgh, and York take the current approach here.  It seems awkward in List_of_people_from_York to begin this list with "individuals" that is essentially "miscellaneous" then doing specific categories.  OhNo itsJamie  Talk 00:00, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

'Nearby settlements' sub-heading should be removed
In my opinion, the 'Nearly settlements' sub-heading contained within the article should be removed if no information can be added to it as in my opinion it looks strange to have a sub-heading in the article which has no information underneath it. Xboxsponge15 (talk) 22:05, 5 December 2020 (UTC)

 * All the Built-up Area articles need to be looked at because we can't base articles simply on ONS definitions. There needs to be sources that discuss the area descriptively as an entity without relying solely on ONS stats.Pontificalibus 12:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Support The area isn't notable because it doesn't satisfy WP:GEOLAND and there aren't multiple independent sources discussing it in detail. The options are merge or delete. A merge to Derby makes sense because there's already a "geography" section within which this area can be mentioned in the context of Derby city and its surrounding settlements.Pontificalibus 12:20, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Support I wrote the piece originally. Just add the detail to the summary section, which I also added. And Nick Moyes, the ONS delineation of an urban area is sound as it's a UN based definition. It is the result of building in a time when little planning was taken into consideration which is why these distant areas seem at odds, being inter-connected by thin strips of development.

Derby Assembly Rooms
There does seem to be a need for a link to a stand alone, or section of another article. The citation tells the full story of its notability.--ClemRutter (talk) 09:39, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I just made an article: Derby Assembly Rooms. Feel free to expand. Best, Thriley (talk) 01:11, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

In Lakota mythology, Íŋyaŋ (Rock) was the first of the powerful spirits. He existed before the beginning. He then created Maka and gave it the spirit Makȟá-akáŋl (Earth spirit), the second of the spirit beings and a part of Íŋyaŋ. After creating Makȟá, Íŋyaŋ was very weak. He created miniature versions of Makȟá, and her lover, father sky. Those miniatures were humans. This effort made Íŋyaŋ hard and powerless. His blood became the blue waters and the sky.
