Talk:Christchurch, Dorset

Query
Any info on "eam" for "(two) rivers" in Old English, and cognates in other languages? I'm intrigued. Xipirho (talk) 16:57, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I do not know. I learned a new word today though! cognate --Senra (talk) 11:12, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

How is it that Thomas Hardy is ignored having based one of the greatest Victorian Novels, Jude the Obscure, partly in Christchurch? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.189.85.234 (talk) 16:58, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

The Quomps - apology
I remembered this as The Quomps, but then found it on a map and misread it as The Quomp. I have now used a magnifying glass. (O.S. Outdoor Leisure series map No. 22, New Forest.)) Apologies for this lapse from the standard I aim at.

While writing, is there any way that the Article Assessment can be dated on this page? I found the History page shows it as November 2007, and some of the issues on the assessment may now have been covered. Robert of Ramsor (talk) 13:16, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Comments
This is not a review. Just some comments from an interested editor. I have only been a wikipedia editor for 3 weeks so take what I am about to say accordingly. In any event, my comments should be taken constructively as intended. Now I am going to be honest here. I have not read the prose; checked the references; checked the wikilinks; checked images; or checked anything I have not mentioned above (erm, yet!). If the above helps great. If not, feel free to say so on my talk page. And remember, I have only been a wikipedian for three weeks.
 * 1) Not sure why you have not used  same as Bournemouth, Poole for example.
 * 2) WP:Lead seems very short. Compare with Little Thetford, Bournemouth, Poole etc.
 * 3) There is excellent detailed prose throughout. However, the sections do not follow the structure outlined in "How to write about settlements."
 * 4) History. It seems long. Whilst wikipedia does not like arranging history into sub-sections according to century, the style-guide does suggest subheadings. In any case, my view is your history needs sub-dividing to make it easier to read. Certainly put the population figures in a section of its own (demography) as per How to write about settlements.
 * 5) The gallery will be questioned. Wikipedia seems to prefer images throughout the article only. I have seen many exceptions (cf. Ely, Cambridgeshire) though. Anyway, see Image galleries
 * 6) Consider transport as a section of its own as per How to write about settlements
 * 7) consider    in the geography section to place Christchurch in relation to other places in Dorset.
 * 8) consider    in references to make references go to three columns (or less) automatically (except on IE browsers) but get Firefox anyway :). Also consider separating notes and references using tagged references. See Little Thetford for an example. Basically, the notes contain brief details plus page numbers which are referenced to the work (book, journal etc) preventing long lists of almost the same text in reference list
 * 9) consider a See also section

--Senra (talk) 19:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Had a crack at the lead - draft here.
 * --Senra (talk) 20:16, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

 * As an incorporated place, this article should use Infobox settlement as it has many more available fields for statistics and codes. It is used on the Poole article and could be copied and adapted from there. MRSC (talk) 13:49, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Nazi germany
A minor point I suspect. The word Nazi in the lead and body of the article, when referring to one of the protagonists in WWII,  should read Nazi Germany. It was not the Nazi political party itself which directly threatened England. --Senra (talk) 11:45, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

No, you're quite right, I just thought it read better. I made the link go to Nazi Germany but that was probably insufficient. I will have another look at it. Regards--Ykraps (talk) 18:02, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Second review
As requested, here is a second look at the article to follow up on the Peer review I did back in July.
 * There are still 3 or so dab links that need to be fixed - see here -Fixed.
 * There is also one dead link found with this tool hereThere are now two dead links. -Fixed.
 * There are still some refs that do not have complete information - for example current ref 1 is just a link and title and needs at least a publisher and access date. -Fixed
 * Or current ref 62 is "This is Dorset". http://www.this-is-dorset.co.uk/christchurch.htm. Retrieved 30 July 2010." and needs a publisher. By the way, what makes this a Relaible source? - Replaced 'dubious' reference.
 * I also note this same webpage is used later as ref 87 - assuming it is a RS, then the refs should be combined into one. - N.A.
 * This is much better in terms of references, but there are a few places that still need refs Retirement homes, such as McCarthy and Stone, and luxury waterside apartments now stand where there was once farms, factories and boat yards and it is hard to imagine that Christchurch was once an important trading port and prospered due to its industry and manufacturing. reads like opinion or WP:OR without a ref. - Toned down and 3 refs added.
 * Twin towns also needs a ref (or more)- Referenced
 * It is OK to have some refs in the middle of a sentence, especially if they are after punctuation. Theu should be the exception, rather than the rule
 * There are still a lot of short (one or two sentences) paragraphs, especially in Demographics and the sections after it. These disrupt the flow of the article, and should be combined with others, or perhaps expanded. - short sentences combined, expanded or deleted.
 * Why does Railways need three separate one sentence paragraphs, and not just one paragraph with three sentences -Done
 * Bullet point lists often read better as prose. - All bulleted sections converted to prose.
 * What is the organizational basis of Notable persons? It does not seem to be alphabetical or chronological (two most common ways to organize such sections) -Section in chronological order except where it has been convenient to group family members together.
 * Giving the price per hour for parking seems to be non-encylcopedic - see WP:NOT too - Removed
 * Overall this looks better - keep up the good work!

If a link is dead, look for replacements for it. The original website may just have moved (so I just checked and the bus timetable is dead - my guess is a new timetable is probably up on the web somewhere). You can also check the archives at the Wayback Machine or WebCite (the latter website lets you back things up). See also WP:LINKROT Ruhrfisch ><> ° ° 21:20, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Airfield and historical districts
I think there is too much about the airfield in here. The text should be added to RAF Christchurch leaving a short summary here and a link to RAF Christchurch.

I think this article should have a little section listing the historical districts of Christchurch: • Blackwater

• Burton

• Highcliffe

• Hurn

• Iford

• Mudeford

• Purewell

• Somerford

• Stanpit

• Tuckton

• Wick I think eventually they will all have their own articles.--Penbat (talk) 19:55, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I started to copy some info onto the RAF Christchurch page when, as you now know, I came across an anomally. I think adding historical districts is a good idea but I'd like to take a look at what WP Settlements says first. BTW I think Holdenhurst was part of Christchurch at one time.--Ykraps (talk) 16:19, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it would make sense as little places like Blackwater are already done. I suspect "Friars Cliff" was a post WW2 invented name. I note that nothing similar has been done for Bournemouth for places like Kinson but they are not so overtly historical as Xchurch districts.--Penbat (talk) 16:48, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

I notice that the Bournemouth historical districts are all separate articles (see Category:Geography of Bournemouth) and it includes Wick and Holdenhurst. But they are tucked away in the Category:Geography of Bournemouth category. The Christchurch districts are tucked away in the Category:Districts of Christchurch, Dorset category which is itself a subcategory of Category:Geography of Christchurch, Dorset.

So the issue is not whether the Christchurch districts i have listed above should be separate articles (yes they should although Wick has already been done), but if there should be a short section in this article listing the districts to give them more prominence. The same point applies to the Bournemouth article as well.

So articles on Iford, Purewell, Somerford, Stanpit and Tuckton remain to be done and maybe Friars Cliff.--Penbat (talk) 09:56, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi Penbat, I've left a message at BarretBonden's talk page as I'm interested to hear his take on this. I personally think the districts should go in the article, possibly in the geography section or maybe the history section (if we're going to mention historical districts). I'm not sure about Friars Cliff. Is it marked on a map? I thought it was just made up by the residents so they could disassociate themselves from Mudeford. --Ykraps (talk) 10:52, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes Friars Cliff is marked on the map but it is arguable if it deserves its own article although at least some of the housing in the area I think is pre WW2. One of the residential roads has a George V post box in it.--Penbat (talk) 11:19, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

 * The presence of the George V postbox would seem to confirm that the housing is pre WWII (pre '36 in fact) as the houses must surely have been there before the postbox.--Ykraps (talk) 12:44, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I would just link the districts where necessary throughout the article (even if they are still red links) and perhaps add a small paragraph in the geography section similar to Oldham or include them in a list similar to those in Peterborough and Poole. Barret (talk) 13:10, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * We may as well have a Christchurch template as per Oldham.--Penbat (talk) 16:14, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Ive done a sandbox template: User:Penbat/template:Areas of Christchurch, Dorset. Any comments from anybody ? Seems tempting to add other features of Christchurch to the same template. --Penbat (talk) 18:19, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Christchurch Castle
Firstly excellent work on the article much improved. I note a contradiction on dates of the castle From the History section: : Sometime early in the 12th century, Christchurch got its castle. Originally a wooden fort built by Richard de Redvers, first cousin to King Henry I, it was later rebuilt in stone by Baldwin de Redvers to resist King Stephen during the civil war with the Empress Matilda.

From Landmarks: Christchurch castle Christchurch Castle is of Norman origin and of a motte and bailey construction. There has been a castle on this spot since 924 AD when; after Aethelwold captured the town ramparts in 901 AD, Edward the Elder decided to fortify the town further with a wooden fort on a motte.[18]

Is the 924AD date proven and is it on the site of the present castle.Phil Whiston (talk) 16:25, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * The 12th century is when the stone keep, which is still standing today, was constructed but it is widely held that there was a wooden fort there prior to this. The reference for the 924 ad date comes from a guide to the Avon Valley Path and the author claims this information comes from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. A number of other sources give the date of the wooden fort as circa 1100 which is quite a bit later. I have been searching for a second source but haven't been able to find one and it is likely that I will end up rewriting the sentence to make it less definite. Regards--Ykraps (talk) 07:13, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

New Stanpit stub article
For those interested I have created a new Stanpit stub article.--Penbat (talk) 10:13, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

User:Penbat/template:Christchurch, Dorset
Ive started a test Christchurch general purpose template User:Penbat/template:Christchurch, Dorset. Seems like a good idea. Any ideas for what else to put into it ? IMO the same ought to be done for Bmouth and Poole.--Penbat (talk) 19:22, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I've added some stuff to the template but I see you already know this. You've included Iford and Tuckton which were ceded to Bmth in 1931 and 1895 respectively. If we're including historic districts, should we also include Wick, Hengistbury Head, Pokesdown, Holdenhurst, Holmsley? Pending further investigation, what about Throop, Walkford, Bransgore, Avon? (actually I think Avon was always in Ringwood). You could also add Holmsley to the list of railway stations as this was the original Christchurch stop (known as Christchurch Road).--Ykraps (talk) 08:02, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

P.S. Not sure about Verwood. As far as I know it is East Dorset now but was historically part of Cranborne.--Ykraps (talk) 08:08, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Verwood i think is in the political constituency of Christchurch. Anyway I take it that you approve of the template in principle. I think i may put it in the Christchurch article in expanded form. We dont need to get hung up about the precise content of the template. The template is principally supposed to list active Wikilinks. It may be a long time before these obscure districts get done.--Penbat (talk) 08:16, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Template:Christchurch, Dorset now created.--Penbat (talk) 08:49, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Christchurch, Dorset → Christchurch — As this is the English section of the encyclopedia, I would have thought that this page should be the prime topic. Homan's Copse (talk) 19:57, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose: Are you kidding. This is the English language version of Wiki not English version. Christchurch NZ is better known internationally and much bigger and a capital and im sure the NZ boys would object anyway. --Penbat (talk) 20:10, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Oppose - Even though I am from Christchurch, Dorset; if I put Christchurch into WP:Search, I would expect to be taken to Christchurch NZ. If you are proposing to change this I would have to oppose it.--Ykraps (talk) 20:17, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Strong oppose. Clearly WP:POINT.  The suggested move is not for the primary use of the name.  Yes, the is the English version of Wikipedia, but that does not mean that only British uses can be primary topics.  There are other places that use the English language, like that small place across the pond that, I think is called America and Australia.  Vegaswikian (talk) 21:23, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Even if the majority of Kiwis didn't speak English, this borough in England would not usurp the primary use of the name from the city in New Zealand. —C.Fred (talk) 22:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - per Ykraps, the New Zealand city is the first place that comes to mind, and even then I might think of the Oxford college before I think of the Dorset town. Green Giant (talk) 02:32, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose per all above. The NZ city is clearly the primary topic here. PC78 (talk) 11:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy close; nominator appears to be making WP:POINT-y nominations in protest of the request at Talk:Dover. Powers T 12:10, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Hampshire/Dorset
Christchurch was moved from the county of Hampshire to Dorset. The Geography section covering this needs to be worked very carefully. Andrew Swallow (talk) 05:26, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi Andrew, can you elaborate on what you think needs reworking? I am having difficulty understanding how moving the borough from Hampshire to Dorset affects the physical geography, particularly as the borough boundaries remained the same. The only possible confusion I can see arising is that the section talks about Hengistbury Head, ownership of which passed to Bournemouth in 1930, along with a portion of the spit west of the Black House, but this is talked about in the history section.--Ykraps (talk) 08:17, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

 * In the first sentence of the Geography section at 17:05, October 31, 2013 'Dorset' was changed back to 'Hampshire'. Either the first change was vandalism or the sentence is ambiguous.  Since 'Hampshire' was the historic country I am going with ambiguous.  Andrew Swallow (talk) 19:29, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Initially the sentence read, "Christchurch is the most easterly coastal town of Dorset and lies within the historic county boundaries of Hampshire", meaning it is currently in Dorset but was historically in Hampshire. It was altered at 16:58 then reverted at 17:05 by the same editor, presumably when he/she realised his/her mistake. I am happy with the current wording but if you find it ambiguous, I suggest removing the "...and lies within the historic county boundaries of Hampshire" bit altogether and make the first sentence, "Christchurch is the most easterly coastal town of Dorset. It abuts Bournemouth to the west and...". The '74 county boundary changes are already mentioned in the article so I see no need to repeat the information in the geography section.--Ykraps (talk) 14:44, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

 * I chanced on this five year old discussion: a classic example of county confusion. More worrying is that this sort of thinking runs freely and unchecked throughout all UK geography articles. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 12:15, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Split
I suggest splitting this into an article for the district at Borough of Christchurch like what was done with Preston, Lancashire and City of Preston, Lancashire. See WP:UKDISTRICTS. As can be seen at Christchurch, Dorset the boundaries are recent and are larger than the town's. The district is due to be abolished next year so the current content would probably be inappropriate anyway.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 10:34, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * What is it precicisely, you think ought to be removed from this article?--Ykraps (talk) 04:44, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Much of the content in the infobox and changed to a standard infobox UK place such as Weymouth and some of the content that relates purely to the modern district as opposed to the former borough.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 10:20, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm still not sure why you want to split the article. The council is due to be abolished next year but the district will still exist; whether it retains its borough status or not remains to be seen. Added to which, there doesn't seem to be much about the borough in this article so I don't quite know what you think will go in the new article. I am anticipating that the current article will require some rewriting but I think that creating a separate article about the borough is a tad pointless, particularly as, as I've already mentioned, it might not keep its borough status. Happy to hear the thoughts of others though.--Ykraps (talk) 18:52, 24 September 2018 (UTC), , , (pinging some locals)

I have taken the liberty of removing the split message from the article, since as of April 1st there is no Borough of Christchurch anymore. JoshTilley (talk) 14:34, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

Suggested improvement - religion in census
Having 'Christchurch' as its name, I am sure many people will be curious to wonder are there many Christians in Christchurch today? As one who is used to seeing figures about percentages of the local population who declared in census what religion they were, it would be good to see it mentioned in the Demography or Religion section of this Good Article. Note that religion figures are given in the wiki article on the town's great New Zealand namesake city.Cloptonson (talk) 07:17, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Carry on then Murgatroyd49 (talk) 09:52, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I put this up as a suggestion to take up by those (especially those local to Christchurch, I am not a local). None of the statistical sources currently used in this article have religious statistics on the local population.Cloptonson (talk) 18:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * In the 2001 census, 67.1% of Christchurch residents identified as Christian, 1.5% had another religion, 7.7% refused to state their religion, and 23.6% said they had no religion at all. This was pretty much the picture nationwide so it didn’t really seem notable. I'm not sure I understand your point about Christchurch and Christians either. The religion section was added later by someone who couldn't be bothered to fill it in. I have long been toying with the idea of removing it.--Ykraps (talk) 07:02, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Bournemouth airport
Nowadays Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch are separate parishes although part of a unitary authority. The Christchurch article covers the town and civil parish of Christchurch, as stated in the lead, which does not include Hurn, which is a separate parish. If you look at https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-government/products/election-maps and select civil parish boundaries you can clearly see this. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 17:19, 30 March 2022 (UTC)(talk) 17:15, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

 * As I said in my edit summary, the airport’s own website says it is in Christchurch.[] That Hurn is a parish does not mean it isn’t in Christchurch. Burton is also a parish (as your map shows) but is still very much part of Christchurch. Reliable sources put Hurn in Christchurch. These include, Ordnance Survey[], Bournemouth Echo[], Office for National Statistics[] and the Royal Mail[]. Residents in Hurn vote for, and are represented by, the MP for Christchurch[] and their children attend a Christchurch school[]. But, in any event, as the airport and the accompanying business park contribute much to the economy of Christchurch, they belong in the article, irrespective of where you believe them to be.--Ykraps (talk) 12:34, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't believe it to be anywhere. It is physically in the civil parish of Hurn. That is a fact. The article is about the town and civil parish of Christchurch which has well defined borders. Because it was in the old borough of Christchurch is irrelevant. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 15:51, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * What is irrelevant is whether Hurn is a parish or not. As I said Burton is also a parish but still part of Christchurch. Reliable sources put both Hurn and the airport in Christchurch but, as I said earlier, the airport is mentioned in this article because it is very much linked to the local economy. Please get consensus for the changes you wish to make.--Ykraps (talk) 09:02, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * It should say that the airport was (until 2019) in the borough but indeed its not now in Christchurch, its not in the BUASD and its not in the parish. The parish is now Burton and Winkton not "Burton" (it was renamed) and while Burton is in the BUASD.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 09:13, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Built Up Area Sub Divisions are again different and cross boundaries. The Christchurch Built Up Area Sub Division includes Barton-on-Sea which is, I believe, part of New Milton. Hurn is not in a BUASD because it isn't considered a built up area.--Ykraps (talk) 10:13, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * At the end of the day the airport is not in the town or the civil parish of Christchurch which is the subject of the article. All the special pleading and references to the situation before 2019 doesn't change that. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 10:26, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Exactly, the borough ceased to exist in 2019 so its not been a Christchurch (the district) since 2019 and its clearly not part of the parish and its not likely part of the town. The point of confusion is perhaps partly due to the fact we have an article about a current town and CP combined with that of a former borough, I suggested splitting the borough like what has been done with Borough of Chorley or Borough of Oswestry etc but that was apparently rejected above.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 10:34, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Please could you both keep WP:3RR in mind. I will notify WikiProject UK geography and WikiProject Dorset that there is a disagreement here that needs resolving.
 * There is also some guidance at WikiProject_UK_geography/How_to_write_about_settlements, though I'm not sure how much that helps us here.
 * FWIW, I find the references cited here to the airport being in Christchurch very unconvincing in this scenario:
 * It was in the borough, which no longer exists, so of course many sources that were published before the still quite recent abolition of borough will not reflect the current situation. (Thanks to Murgatroyd49 for recognising that the Wikipedia article is one such source that was overdue a review to reflect the new situation!)
 * The post town for Hurn is Christchurch, which is why it appears in addresses, but there are a great many precedents for not describing one place as being inside another just because the other is the post town -- we don't say that Wool, Dorset is in Wareham, Dorset, but Wareham appears in its addresses.
 * I don't think the constituency is relevant, there are many examples of constituencies named after one town within them, but covering a much larger area. Look at the size of the constituencies named "Yeovil", "Salisbury" and "Devizes".
 * That said, we're talking about the economy section of the article, and towns do not have self-contained economies that halt at their borders. It would seem appropriate to describe how Christchurch's economy is bound up with that of the conurbation and region around it, including the airport. But I wouldn't expect three whole paragraphs on the airport and the history of industry there, duplicating detail already exists in more specific articles which are linked to. --Joe D (t) (edited 10:50, 3 April 2022 (UTC))
 * On the subject of post towns, they were never intended as definitive geographical definitions, merely the location of the relevant Royal Mail sorting office. As these have often been superceded by large, more centrally located hubs, the use of post towns in addresses is now deprecated. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 10:53, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

If this article is now about the civil parish and therefore excludes the airport then we could do with a new article on the former borough which can include the airport. Eopsid (talk) 10:52, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * There is already an article about the airfield itself. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 17:38, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Exactly and per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE it’s hard to understand why this is even in debate. There need only be a sentence which says something like the airport used to be within the Borough prior to the creation of BCP and perhaps note that the airport’s website continues to describe it as being at christchurch (if that is indeed the case, I haven’t checked). Wikilinks take away any need for this discussion. DeCausa (talk) 09:07, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Then the airfield part of this article needs to be moved there (I assume most of its already duplicated). I still think creating an article on the former borough would be beneficial. Eopsid (talk)
 * Can’t really see the need for an article about the former Borough, it will inevitably be just a duplication of material already available in the more relevant articles. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 21:44, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Support splitting as per above, given the borough is abolished and a parish exists with different boundaries the risk of duplication has reduced.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 19:11, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

I don't think the issue is as complex as it seems. Although the airport is no longer within the Borough of Christchurch it is still a notable transport hub in the immediate area, so mentioning it in the 'Transport' subsection of the Christchurch article is appropriate. This follows the precedent set at Bournemouth and Poole; for an example outside Dorset, Knutsford mentions Manchester Airport despite being in neighbouring Cheshire. As at those articles, it shouldn't be mentioned in the lead. A.D.Hope (talk) 12:07, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Hurn is mentioned in the Transport section. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 12:09, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It is, and based on other articles I'd say nothing more is needed. A.D.Hope (talk) 12:18, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Review of the economy section
OK, I've just had a chance to take a proper look through the economy section, and it would benefit from a more thorough rework than just addressing the airport question:

 * Paragraph 1 & table - GVA: this data is 15 years old, and applies to the borough area so is heavily skewed by the airport. Is there anything more recent?
 * There is this [], published by BCP council in 2019 but as you can see from this map,[] the Christchurch area includes Hurn and the airport.--Ykraps (talk) 08:29, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Dorset Council have produced datasets for Employees by Industry (2020)[], Business Demography (2020)[], Business Count (2021) [] and Earnings (2021)[] which includes comparisons with other areas, including Christchurch. I don't know what they consider to be Christchurch though. --Ykraps (talk) 08:53, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Paragraphs 2-3 - aircraft manufacturing: this is all history, does it really belong in this section, at least, in this much detail? Perhaps a single paragraph linking to the airfield article and manufacturers
 * Paragraph 4 - airport: even leaving aside the other question on inclusion of the airport, some of this doesn't read right for an encyclopaedia article. "Among the busiest international airports in the country" and "an important economic generator for the region" read like marketing material -- number of passengers and jobs are good encyclopaedic facts that do enough to show the airport's importance, without those PR lines. The other details, like the now more than decade old upgrade and the list of employers (which should be checked to ensure it's still correct), feel to me like they're excessive for this article and the readers can instead click into the Bournemouth Airport article if they wanted that much detail.
 * Paragraph 5 - high street: this data is 17 years old! So much has changed since then, it's very misleading to still have this data here without at least making it clear how old it is.
 * Paragraph 6 - tourism: this data is 14 years old, and again, applies to the borough area.

Some of what's missing:

 * Explanation of the economic context of the conurbation and region
 * Information on economic inactivity, deprivation and regeneration

This whole section feels like it's a bit stuck in the late '00s and not how we'd write a section on the economy of Christchurch if we were starting from a blank page today, and not just because of the abolition of the borough. -- Joe D (t) 11:53, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Category talk:Sailplanes

Hello. I am new to this page, having in the previous few days created pages for most LS-sailplanes.

I see that previous contributers are using the category Sailplanes only for sailplane manufacturers, while sailplane types are listed under subcategories.

This is fine but I feel that the sailplane models themselves are most entitled to use the Sailplanes category tag. An explicit Category ot Subcategory could be arranged for Sailplane Manufacturers. They are not exactly sailplanes.

I also suggest adding all sailplane types to the category Glider Aircraft.

For your consideration. Regards,Francisco de Almeida 12:58, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, , and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

You might also want to consider changing your username before you get too invested in your current one. Although you are allowed to use just about any name, many Wikipedians encourage others to use real names. I would suggest that you do this. I can certainly understand that you might be uncomfortable using your real name online, but, in this case, I recommend that you choose an alias that resembles a real name. For instance, my name is Nat Krause, but I could just as well have a username such as "Eli Miller" or "Abe Sokolov".

If you are choosing a pseudonym, please do not use the names of famous people or fictional characters. An obscure literary reference is probably all right. As always, please avoid anything that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.

Note that, on Wikipedia, you can use spaces and capital letters; for instance, "T. K. Truong" is possible, rather than simply "tktruong".

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~.

See WP:AIV for reporting blatant vandalism
Hi BTLizard. Please note that I've archived or removed your recent request for investigation. That page is only for very specific cases, as described by the page's guidelines. Your alert would be better placed on Administrator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV), where it will usually be processed within minutes. Many alerts that are incorrectly placed on Requests for investigation are never dealt with, simply because they become old before an administrator gets to them. Thanks for your efforts. :)  Petros471 10:59, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem :) Just that you usually get a quicker response from AIV. RFI reports can take days or weeks to be processed, by which time it is too late to block (for IPs). Petros471 11:04, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

WW2 Casualties
Can somebody block the IP address of that vandal?--Woogie10w 12:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Roland Scull
Hi BTLizard (I like the username!). Just to clarify what WP:AIV is about and why Roland Scull didn't really belong on it: AIV is there for specific and repeated cases of vandalism, about which the offending user has been warned on their user talk page - see here for the complete list and under what circumstances they are applied. There's a rough heirarchy, starting with test and running up to test4 (which is basically "do that again and you're blocked").

The Roland Scull article wasn't properly vandalism anyway, at worst it was a "candidate for speedy deletion" as a non-notable person, once blanked it was a candidate for speedy deletion as "blanked by author". See WP:CSD for a list of the criteria and which templates should be applied. Tagged articles are placed on a list which administrators trawl through regularly, deleting articles which meet the criteria. (I am not an admin, by the way). You're free to "speedy tag" articles, but please make sure they meet the applicable criteria. If you'd like to know more about the processes and systems that apply to deleting articles, by the way, see this article. Regards, Tonywalton | Talk 11:29, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Bernard Voorhoof

Bernard Voorhoof (10 May 1910 – 18 February 1974) was a Belgian footballer, who held the title of the Belgium national team's top scorer for 34 years, netting 30 goals in 61 matches. In 1972, he was joined by Paul Van Himst, who took 81 matches to reach the same goal tally. However, both have since been surpassed by Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard.

Career
Voorhoof commenced his career at Lierse, remaining with the club for an impressive 21 years. During his tenure, he remarkably scored 350 goals across 529 matches and secured two Belgian First Division titles. Additionally, in the shortened 1940−41 season, he contributed to a third unofficial title. Before retiring at the age of 39 in 1949, he also spent a season with RRFC Montegnée.

He was part of Belgium's team at the 1928 Summer Olympics, but did not play in any matches. Voorhoof played in the 1930, 1934 and 1938 World Cups, being one of six known people (five players and one match official) to have appeared in all three of the pre-war World Cups. At the 1934 World Cup held in Italy, Voorhoof scored twice in Belgium's 5−2 defeat to Germany. These were the first Belgian goals in a FIFA World Cup, as the Belgium national team failed to find the net in 1930.

He held the Belgian caps record from 5 May 1938 (when he equalled the total of Armand Swartenbroeks) until 13 April 1958, when his total was surpassed by Vic Mees. He held the Belgian record of goals since 13 March 1938, when he equalled the total of Robert De Veen, until Paul Van Himst equalled his tally of 30 international goals for Belgium on 17 June 1972.

Little Skellig

Little Skellig (Irish: Sceilig Bheag) is a small, steep rocky island in the Atlantic Ocean, 11 km off the Iveragh Peninsula of County Kerry, Ireland. It is one of the two Skellig Islands, together with the larger Skellig Michael. Little Skellig is a nature reserve and bird colony. Landing on Little Skellig is not allowed.

Geography
Little Skellig is the smaller of the two Skellig Islands, the other being Skellig Michael, 1 km to the south-west. The islands rose c. 374–360 million years ago during a period of mountain formation, along with the MacGillycuddy's Reeks mountain range. Later, they were separated from the mainland by rising water levels.

Wildlife
The island has a large bird population, including a colony of northern gannets which is the largest in Ireland, and one of the largest in the world. The island, together with Skellig Michael, is part of a 364 ha Important Bird Area established by BirdWatch Ireland in 2000. BirdWatch Ireland has designated Little Skellig as a nature preserve. It houses over 35,000 breeding pairs of gannets.

Ding Dong Bell

"Ding Dong Bell" or "Ding Dong Dell" is a popular English language nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 12853.

Lyrics
The most common modern version is:

Origins

The earliest recorded reference to the rhyme is from John Lant, the organist of Winchester Cathedral in 1580, who recorded the following rhyme:

It was printed in Thomas Ravenscroft's Pammelia, Musicks Miscellanie in 1609, as a canon for four voices.

The phrase 'Ding, dong, bell' also appears in these passages of Shakespeare's plays:

The Tempest, Act I, Scene II:

The Merchant of Venice, Act III, Scene II:

The earliest version to resemble the modern one is from Mother Goose's Melody published in London around 1765. The additional lines that include (arguably) the more acceptable ending for children with the survival of the cat are in James Orchard Halliwell's Nursery Rhymes of England, where the cat is pulled out by "Dog with long snout".

Several names are used for the malevolent Johnny Green, including Tommy O' Linne (1797) and Tommy Quin (c. 1840). Iona and Peter Opie suggested that it may have had its origins in Tom a lin or Tom o' Lin, the protagonist of another nursery rhyme.

William Stonard's composition
There is also a version composed as a four-part round by William Stonard (1585–1630) to the following text:

Reformed versions

The most common modern version is arguably already a moderation of the theme of the original rhyme. The fear that children might be affected by the violence of the rhyme and specifically that children might be tempted to put cats in wells, led to several attempts to reform the rhyme. In his New Nursery Rhymes for Old (1949) Geoffrey Hall published the following alternative:

Welcome
Hello, , and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

You might also want to consider changing your username before you get too invested in your current one. Although you are allowed to use just about any name, many Wikipedians encourage others to use real names. I would suggest that you do this. I can certainly understand that you might be uncomfortable using your real name online, but, in this case, I recommend that you choose an alias that resembles a real name. For instance, my name is Nat Krause, but I could just as well have a username such as "Eli Miller" or "Abe Sokolov".

If you are choosing a pseudonym, please do not use the names of famous people or fictional characters. An obscure literary reference is probably all right. As always, please avoid anything that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.

Note that, on Wikipedia, you can use spaces and capital letters; for instance, "T. K. Truong" is possible, rather than simply "tktruong".

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Talk:Angel (disambiguation)

Untitled
Is it worth mentioning "Teen Angel" the character in Grease (film)--TimothyJacobson (talk) 12:36, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

In responding to the above (I just wrote the FOLLOWING comment about the song done by the Acorns in 1958): There is a Teen Angel page on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 20:23, 25 August 2011 (UTC) The disambiguation page for "Teen Angel" mentions the character in "Grease".

1958 version done by the Acorns
Come on now, why is it being deleted from here? If one of the other entries has the song that the Acorns did, make a note of it! Try looking on youtube (keywords: angel acorns) to hear the song I am writing here about. I did a version for my music website of that as well! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 20:21, 25 August 2011 (UTC) (on youtube, I see record label giving the credit to V. Catalano & D. Derkach) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 20:25, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I have put the 1958 reference back in on Jan. 3, 2012, and have included the composing credit I noted in the paragraph above. If that reference is deleted, I *demand* that you explain it here! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 17:55, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

The reference to the 1958 version done by the Acorns was missing when I looked on Feb. 10, 2012. So what is the explanation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 18:49, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Disambiguation pages are not catalogs of every possible use of the ambiguous term. They are navigation pages to topics covered in Wikipedia. Each entry must either have an article or at least be mentioned in the related article linked in the description. The reason for this is that article material is (ideally) scrutinized for noteworthiness and subject to referencing, and disambiguation pages, as navigation pages that index article content, rely on articles to establish the validity of an entry. To put it another way, a disambiguation page is not the place to assert a use that is not supported by an article. The solution is straightforward: Create an article for The Acorns that mentions the song, then list it here.-- Shelf Skewed  Talk  19:07, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I have to inform you that all I know about the Acorns is the "stub" information provided here. Someone needs to create a stub article about the Acorns, and I am not in the situation to do it myself. The song seems to be among (or closely resembles) some old listening experiences of mine, and there was some crucial overlooking (when I was a child) of my interest in music. I did do an electronic version (no singing could be provided) on a music web site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 21:34, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Support merger - it's already merged anyway, with near-identical text in the orgasm article, only it was wrongly put in a subsection under female orgasm. It should be in its own section.

Welcome
Hello, , and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article

By the way, did you know that you can use spaces and capital letters for your username? It's true! If you want, you can change your username to "K. Sargent". It might be more pleasing to to the eye.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page.

Why did you delete this:
Since a blastocyst can be taken from unused blastocysts leftover from couples' attempts at in vitro fertilization, proponents point out that it is a couple's choice on whether to allow medical research. In addition, advocates point to the potential therapies that are expected to derive from research in this area, which is not possible using adult stem cells or umbilical cord blood. -- K. Sargent Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Getaway": I explained in detail on the Talk page for that article--just as I stated in the Edit Summary. Please review. --Getaway 21:09, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Stem cell controversy
Okay, the very first sentence of the previous version read 'current research techniques usually result in the destruction of early-stage embryos'. This is misleading on a number of fronts, not least because current research techniques necessarily require the destruction of a human embryo and also because this sentence echoes the medicalised interpretation of an embryo, through use of the phrase "early-stage embryos". The second sentence reads "Thus, the stem cell debate has divided the ‘pro-life’ movement into two camps". This is also misleading because opposition towards eSCR cannot be strictly divided into either of the two camps described. Presenting opposition in this way would seem to deny the true extent of the dialogue and the multiplicity of differing perspectives. Following on from that, recent edits referred to "pro-life groups, like the Catholic church" and then goes on to associate, the social scientist, Sarah Parry with the 'pro-life' ideas which are discussed. I could point out several further discrepancies, but I think this will suffice for the moment. --Nicholas 11:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Why don't you wait to see what other Wikipedians think? User:BballJones and I both seem happy with the current version. I've pointed out the problems with the previous edit. Would you care do to the same with my preferred edit?--Nicholas 14:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey Ksargent, I see that you've reinstated that nPOV header without actually addressing the discussion on the talk page. At the moment, it also appears as though you are the only editor who has problems with this section. In this context, how can you justify adding that header? --Nicholas 15:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Ksargent, you state that "The current three editors are against hESC research. This is clearly apparent from the sources used and the lack of opposing views". I think this is slightly unfair, not least because 15 different editors have contributed towards the last 50 edits of that article. In addition, it is misleading to suggest that there is a "lack of opposing views". The scientific/medical narrative is discussed in the final paragraph of that section. Perhaps you'd like to contribute towards that final paragraph or (even just) discuss your concerns on the talk page? Best, --Nicholas 21:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Population history of American indigenous peoples
Ksargent, I don't think that the material you added is very useful. You mix old work (almost a century old!) with modern material, and confuse matters rather than clarify them. I have the impression that you're arguing that there's some doubt about WHEN depopulation happened, and saying that it might have preceded European arrival. I do not have that impression from any current material. I'm going to revert all but your addition of the new reference. Please let's discuss this on the talk page. The article is one of the GOOD articles in WP and I don't like to see it turned into a muddle. Zora 19:41, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks much for the welcome. I am, indeed, enjoying things here thus far and am hoping to be at least a little useful from time to time.Adbarnhart 01:57, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Nicolas Sarkozy
Just a remark: France not being a federal country, it has no notion of "federal government". What you probably meant was "national government". :-) David.Monniaux 08:25, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Of course that's the case. I've been looking closely at Federalist #10 and #14 recently, which I'll conveniently use as my excuse :-) Adbarnhart 01:57, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Links, links, links...
Please try to contribute more with a text instead of generously putting links to the journal. At least the talk with Václav Klaus lacks such basic information as when it was made so it is pretty worthless, IMHO. Pavel Vozenilek 17:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I suppose it's a fair criticism, though I actually disagree fairly strongly with your characterization. I'm pretty strongly on the inclusionist end of the spectrum and think things here tend to be source-poor and try to contribute thusly, though certainly within the context of WP:EL.  It appears as though your sense of the appropriate criteria for inclusion is somewhat more constrained, which isn't unreasonable, but I'd respectfully disagree. Adbarnhart 18:01, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'l speak only about Klaus: he gave hundredths of interviews and wrote about a dozen of books. All his speaches are on website (some in English) as well as contents of at least 100 interviews. There are tons and tons of links and references that can be included and I somehow miss what makes Reason so special. Pavel Vozenilek 23:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't know, in that context, that there is anything particularly special about the interview to which I linked; it's of some use, I think -- not, in my opinion, worthless -- but it is entirely possible that a better set of external links and a selected bibliography (which should also be developed for the Klaus article) are out there and ought to be included. I come to it only as a generalist; I'd encourage you, since you seem to be familiar with what's out there on him, to better embed the article in source material, since I think the article suffers for its absence at the moment. Adbarnhart 07:38, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Central avenue
Hi! I also thought that there must be some other central avenues somewhere else. However, as I did not know exactly where, I myself did not set up a disamiguation page. Thanks for creating one.Central Avenue, Los Angeles, California was an interesting read, especially the comparison with 52nd Street. The central avenue of Kolkata does not have a similar vibrant history, though it is a quite important arterial road. Anyway, keep in touch! Bye !--Dwaipayanc 20:45, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm sure there are several other Central Avenues that we ought to have on the disambiguation page, but, for now, we shouldn't have any "What links here" problems, anyhow. Cheers! Adbarnhart 16:54, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for starting the article!--Rockero 15:15, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Chipped chopped ham

Chipped chopped ham or chipped ham is a processed ham luncheon meat made from chopped ham. Chopped ham is a mixture of ham chunks and trimmings and seasonings, ground together and then packaged into loaves. By chipping or shaving the meat loaf against a commercial meat slicer blade, the resultant thinly sliced product has a different texture and flavor compared to thickly sliced ham. In western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and eastern Ohio, the slicing process is also referred to as "Pittsburgh style".

Sometimes the chopped ham, once chipped, is mixed and heated with barbecue sauce before it is made into a sandwich. In the Pittsburgh region, sandwiches of "ham barbecue" or "barbecued chipped ham" are commonly served at home and available at lunch counters. The chain Isaly's helped to popularize chipped chopped ham.

Chipped chopped ham reached a broad audience in the post-World War II era when it was heavily marketed as a luncheon meat suitable for packed lunches. Former United States Army soldiers likened it to Spam, to which they had grown accustomed while in the army. Its popularity has been furthered by its relatively low cost per pound.

The product is produced by a few meat packing facilities that process pork products and is marketed under a variety of commercial brand names.

Teenage Cancer Trust

Teenage Cancer Trust is a cancer care and support charity in the UK that exists to improve the cancer experience of young people aged 13–24. Founded in 1990, the charity's key service is providing specialist teenage units in NHS hospitals. It also trains and funds staff who are teenage cancer specialists. The units are dedicated areas for teenage and young adult patients, who are involved in their concept and creation. Medical facilities on the units are equipped with computers, TVs and game consoles.

The charity also serves as an advocate for teenage cancer needs, promoting related research and national and international forums. It also provides support services and education related to teenage and young adult cancer.

History
The charity was established in 1990 and grew from an idea by a group of young women to organise a fashion show to fund a children's intensive care heart unit at Guy's Hospital, London. To date, the charity has built 28 units in cities across the UK including places like London, Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Administrative
The Teenage Cancer Trust was registered as a charity in the United Kingdom on 29 May 1997, and holds registration number 1062559 (England & Wales) and SC039757 (Scotland). Today the organisation operates from offices in West London, with an annual income of around £6½M a year.

Dr Adrian Whiteson OBE and Myrna Whiteson MBE, founded the Teenage Cancer Trust and hold the position of life presidents of the organisation. The Board of Trustees is made up of: Paul Spanswick (Chair), Carrie Hindmarsh, Jeremy Seigal, Jeremy Shute, Professor Rachael Hough, Rich Waterworth, Richard Rosenberg, Ronnie Harris, Sue Morgan MBE, Varda Shine and Vimi Grewal-Carr.

The patrons of the charity are Sarah, Duchess of York and Roger Daltrey of the Who.

Stephen Sutton
In April 2014, Stephen Sutton, who was diagnosed with stage 3B colorectal cancer, raised the most money Teenage Cancer Trust had ever received from an individual fundraiser. Sutton died on 14 May 2014, but in September 2014, Teenage Cancer Trust announced how his fundraising total of £5million campaign would be spent. It was revealed in the Queen's Birthday Honours in June 2014 that he had been awarded an MBE in recognition of his fundraising and services to Teenage Cancer Trust.

Talk:Go-Sakuramachi Empress

Was this some kind of obscure joke? Go-Sakuramachi Empress redirected to Empress Go-Sakuramachi which redirected back to Go-Sakuramachi Empress. This is no longer true.--T. Anthony 13:32, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * This is just legacy from some joker who decided to screw with all of the Japanese emperor articles and redirects. They're slowly being relocated. This one will end up at "Empress Go-Sakuramachi" and all redirects will be fixed. We just haven't gotten this far through the list yet. -Jefu 13:37, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I see. The idea of a female Emperor for Japan was mentioned in a recent news article I read so I was looking up female emperors of Japan at several sites.--T. Anthony 23:05, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * There have been eight: Empress Suiko was the first, Empress Kōgyoku (who was later Empress Saimei as well), Empress Jitō (who was probably one of the most significant politically, along with Suiko), Empress Gemmei, Empress Genshō, Empress Kōken (who was later Empress Shōtoku as well), Empress Meishō and Empress Go-Sakuramachi. Empress Aiko may end up being the ninth... -Jefu 01:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
