This is ludicrous.  20:15, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I agree entirely.  However, it is no more ludicrous than splitting Walsall or Dudley.   20:26, Mar 3, 2004 (UTC)

There are some good reasons to split district articles from their town.  They include (a) if the district is much larger than the town, and covers a lot of countryside (b) if the district includes town which have a strong identity.  That the borough/district is a city is not a good reason, because city status is a mere honorific and doesn't change facts on the ground.  If we split Dudley and Walsall we have to split Birmingham, Coventry, and Wolverhampton.  Note I am opposed to all splits of articles about metropolitan boroughs.   20:32, Mar 3, 2004 (UTC)

Nice to see this one's been reunified. It seems (seemed) a bit more ludicrous than spliiting Walsall (town) form Walsal (Borough) because there was nothing to indicate that Wolverhampton (city) contained more than Wolverhampton (town). I guess you were just making a point, and it doesn't.

I think the articles should be split on the basis of how much we've got to say about the two definitions. If we've only got a few lines about one it can live with the other.

I was indeed making a point, though it seems to have been missed.  If we look at Birmingham, say, the city includes Sutton Coldfield but the 'town' does not!   This, however, does not mean to say we should split the article.  I know that someone from Bradford said that Bradford shouldn't be split, even though Bradford is a far far clearer case for splitting than Dudley.   20:53, Mar 3, 2004 (UTC)

 Waste Management 

Suggest the page has an extra section about waste management and recycling in the city.  
 Wolverhampton Express and Star 
It doesn#t say in the text whether it is the largest provincial daily in the UK.
Maybe that should be added.
(My nick is taken from a similar town in France, by the way )

 External links

I dont see why the links to the city's football team, university and grammar school were removed.  What makes those links less valid than the Express and Star, hospitals and the Linux User Group?  

Wiki on Wolverhampton is 100x better than it was a year ago...

 Sport 

Wolverhampton Wanderers have never been in the current UEFA Champions League competition.  Wolves have only been in the English F.A. Premiership for one season (2002/03) since the Champions League began, and in that season they were relegated back to the lower-division Coca-Cola Championship.

The current Champions League competition only started in the 1992/93 season, the premier European club tournament before the Champions League was the European Champions Club Cup in which Wolves did compete in.

 

In fact, the UEFA Champions' League was a simple rebrand of the previous competition - which was created due to the European success of Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the reaction of the British press to the results. 

To quote from European_Cup_and_Champions_League_History: ""Before we declare that Wolverhampton are invincible, let them go to Moscow and Budapest. And there are other internationally renowned clubs: A.C. Milan and Real Madrid to name but two. A club world championship, or at least a European one - larger, more meaningful and more prestigious than the Mitropa Cup and more original than a competition for national teams - should be launched."" - Gabriel Hanot  

 Remit of this article 
This is a thought of mine that's been prompted by the recent addition and removal of Perton and Bilbrook from the article.

What exactly is the remit of the article?  After all, there are several definitions of what Wolverhampton is.

The Local Authority area administered by Wolverhampton City Council.
The Wolverhampton Urban Sub-Area as defined by the ONS (or the ""city proper"", perhaps?)  This include the LA area, plus the areas within South Staffordshire district that are physically attached (within 50m) to the urban area.  These would include Lower Penn, Perton, Coven Heath, Westcroft and Essington.
The above, plus areas that are within a few hundred metres of the Urban Area - such as Wombourne, Codsall, Bilbrook, Coven, Featherstone.  Most of these areas were recommended for inclusion in the Borough by the
