Talk:Daventry

message: Is the mention in the McDonalds ad really as good as it gets in Daventry?  Please tell me something more noteworthy has happened there...? -- Francs2000 | Talk  01:56, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The first experiment with Radar was carried out there, and the BBC World Service used to be broadcast from there, how about that?.  Daventry's a pleasant enough town but "Daventry" and "exciting" are unfortunately not two words that are often found together in a sentence. G-Man 22:37, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Just returned from there. The Country Park IS quite nice, but I second you on the "exciting" part. Found a nice pub though so I saved some money on the expensive hotel food... --Pmkpmk 21:40, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Added a bit more detail about Daventry's role in the ECW and what happened afterwards (it directs leads to the Battle of Naseby) - including the well-known legend about Charles I being visited by a ghost at the Wheatsheaf Inn Praise God Barebones (talk) 15:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

message: In Eric Partridge's wonderful book Usage and Abusage. A Guide to Good English, he notes the old pronounciations of various places in England. One of these is Daventry - and he states that it was once common (especially locally) to pronounce it as dane-tree. Perhaps this is worth noting in the main article?!

message: Thinking of ways to improve this article. I would say that much of the material on the parish church and moot hall etc be moved to their own articles, with a summary on the main article, which would be in a new section called say 'Notable buildings and landmarks' created to list the town's more notable buildings.

message: Although Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone may edit, it is a fundamental principle that it only contains credible, reliably sourced information. Among the many things that WP:Wikipedia is not, it is not a campaign or publicity platform. The wikipedia policy WP:Advocacy states:
If the idea of another station for Daventry (at Weedon Bec or wherever) ever attracts credible support for example being adopted by West Northamptonshire Council as part of its formal transport objectives (which is being claimed but never cited) then and only then can it go in the article. Wishes, dreams and fantasy railway stations do not belong in Wikipedia and will be deleted. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 00:11, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
