Talk:Sedgley

message: "Much interest is drawn from the 'little England' attitude from locals - there are still strong rural sensibilities, as well as a lack of traditional aptitude for further or higher education. The Ellowes Hall Foundation School serves much of the population of the area for secondary education, the insular nature of the community might well explain the poor perfomance of the school in connection with the relevant affluence of the area."
What?! Much interest? Where? This is an encyclopedia - it should contain facts and references. "might well explain"? Either it does or it doesn't (it doesn't) - this isn't some kind of personal notebook. This poor performance of Ellowes Hall is probably due to poor management of the school, rather than the 'insular nature' that you suggest, but I'm merely guessing. I suggest you look up weasel words. --D.elwell 21:49, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi there.  I'm removing the information about Steve Willis again.  He isn't notable, and I'm still very suspicious that 82.37.179.220 is actually him (along with EmmaWaldren and VickyRoper).  Basically for three reasons :
# The anon seems keen to add essentially promotional material about him
# The anon's IP traces back to blueyonder - the ISP for Steve Willis' website
# The anon seems keen to remove references to the Imperial units system, and one of the few weblinks on Steve Willis' site is to the UK Metric Association
These are obviously all circumstantial points, and the addition of spam alone is enough to keep me deleting.  But I thought I'd better elaborate somewhat.  Cheers, --Plumbago 13:14, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK Emma, I'll take you at your word for this.  However, I'm still going to delete the text you've reinserted.  There are lots of facts true about any given town or place, but they need to be notable to merit an entry in the Wikipedia, and I'm just not convinced that Steve Willis is.  That he isn't notable enough to even have his own article suggests that mentioning him in another article is unnecessary.  As an aside, he's only one of probably a dozen or so DJs on a community radio station (that, I note, doesn't have an article on it), none of whom have an article about themselves.  That he's also not in the best timeslot (6pm, on a Sunday?) points towards other more deserving cases.  Regarding Angelus, notice that the article talks about radio stations around the world in general terms; a specific example from a local community channel in one part of the world does not need mentioning in this article.  Period.  However, all that said, it's great that you're being bold in your edits to the Wikipedia - please continue to do so, but be aware of notability issues and the appropriateness of information for different articles.  Cheers, --Plumbago 16:35, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Not a problem.  And don't let my grouching put you off editing.  There are plenty of Wikipedia guidelines to help new users such as yourself (try here for starters), but you can probably pick it up from reading articles and conforming to their style and notability criteria.  Have fun editing!  Cheers, --Plumbago 12:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: There are no citations for any of the information in this article. I've added the  template to it. I will try and find references for as much as possible but will remove anything that can't be verified in line with the requirements of WP:VERIFY. - X201 08:45, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Not just that section but the article as a whole is in a very poor state, especially when compared to anything in  Geography Project - Featured Articles which is the standard which all articles should aim for. - X201 (talk) 13:23, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Lack of References

message: Know this is a can of worms, but I definitely feel Gornal (all parts) is in Dudley.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.212.118.3 (talk) 18:15, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gornal redirected to Sedgley. Shouldn't it be Dudley? 

message: I have created a new article entitled Gornal, West Midlands, mostly from the paragraphs formerly in this article.  I felt there was enough material to justify a separate article, and coupled to that there seems to be some disagreement about whether Gornal should be counted as part of Sedgley or not: Gornal redirected to Dudley, while Upper and Lower Gornal, plus Gornalwood, redirected here.  (Note that Gornal is now a disambiguation page, thanks to the existence of a Gornal in Barcelona!)  --RFBailey (talk) 04:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I moved onto the Sedgley Hall Estate with my family at the age of five in 1960, the Northway is mentioned on this page but Sedgley Hall Estate is not, though the mistaken mention of Sedgley Hall Park where it says there is play equipment is not actually where the old 15th century hall, demolished in 1966 stood. Sedgley Hall estate starts at Caswell Road and goes down to the Northway, when we first lived there the Northway was non existent and was all fields. The old hall actually stood at the rear of Caswell Road, right about where Ryecroft stands today, the grounds went over to the Gospel End Road and Caswell Road originally only contained twelve houses until the rest of the road was built pushing through to Gospel End Road after 1966 when the hall was demolished, and the Ryecroft and Westridge were roads built off Caswell.

message: Scouting in Sedgley Section
Scouting in Sedgley has a long tradition with one of the worlds oldest scout groups based in Sedgley which was founded in 1910. https://www.1stsedgleyscouts.org.uk/
1st Sedgley Scout Group
As one of the oldest Groups in the country, our history dates back to 1910, just three years after Baden Powell founded the Scout Movement. We initially meet in the old parish church buildings (where Iceland now sits), Queen Victoria School, and the historic windmill on Vale Street, Ruiton, Gornal. George Cox MBE led a team to find and build our own HQ. After decades of searching and numerous site possibilities, our current location was secured. Fortunately, former 1st Sedgley Scout Frank Turner rejoined our ranks. As a building construction lecturer at Wolverhampton Technical College, he was declared our architect. George and Frank led a team that hand-built our current hall from 1974 to 1977. Three additional extensions were built in the following decades, and a fourth is currently being planned. Within one of those extensions is Turner’s Cabin, a log cabin that honours his astounding commitment to the youth of Sedgley.
George Cox continued leading the group as a leader, member of the executive committee, and honorary member until his passing. He was in effect the father of the present-day 1st Sedgley Scout Group, a caring and inspirational Scout. https://www.1stsedgleyscouts.org.uk/about-us Alexbaugh95 (talk) 17:44, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Sourcing only back the group's own website is no enough. Independent sources are needed. You should also explain why the group is notable, there were a lot of groups by 1910. Nthep (talk) 18:02, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
