message: The source for the assertion that Rutland was originally part of Nottinghamshire is 'Muirs Historical Atlas'.  Rutland Weekend Television is personal recollection - though the only detail I can offer is that the station logo was a cow (rather than a conventional globe) whose markings formed a map of the world.Alan Peakall 15:22 Oct 18, 2002 (UTC)
:Um, actually I've since learnt that Rutland was chosen as the name of Rutland Weekend Television because the idea of the smallest county having a whole TV station especially for the weekend was rather funny - so the name Rutland was deliberately chosen due to a specific characteristic of the county - I think there is probably enough of a relationship to be worth a mention. 80N 22:40, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
::As far as I know, Rutland Weekend Television has absolutely no connection with the county of Rutland.  I suggest this reference be removed. 80N 15:06, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: This was a direct quote from "Notes & Queries" of 1909 as referenced, but I think it was probably an error introduced by the journal in scanning & OCR of the original paper journal into electronic format. I can't explain it so I have removed that part of the sentance. I hope it stil makes sense & throws some light on the origin of the county name.— Rod talk 23:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I am seeking opinions on the setting up of a Leicestershire and Rutland project. 
At its minimum, it is a good way of grouping articles, making it easier to maintain and improve them. With a few active members, it can become a useful area for localised discussion.
I am not specifically recruiting members at this stage. I am just seeing how much interest there is, and if editors think a project would be a worthwhile resource.

message: The article starts by reference to the county and then moves more specifically into local government. An example phrase in 'history' is Rutland became a non-metropolitan district of Leicestershire. This is a very common mistake on wp with county articles. Rutland did not become anything. All that happened was it's local govt responsibilities came under the remit of another entity. Rutland in 1974 was the same Rutland as in 1874 and 1774. Many things about it changed such as population, industry, local govt, and so on, but that is all. The cause of this and numerous other mistakes is the repeated and very confusing usage of terms such as district, Rutland, Leicestershire, county, etc. Unravelling the confusion will take some time if anyone is interested.
