Talk:Wokingham

message: Does anyone know what Dick Francis's association is with Wokingham? There is nothing on his Wiki page. If he has a connection with Wokingham I think we need an explanation. Dahliarose 23:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The article says Blind Terror shows the interior of the Old Rose pub, but I would disagree. The view outside the Window is much further down the road. I would guess that the current Ladbrokes outlet used to be a pub, and that is the interior seen in the film. But maybe someone else can give their opinion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.0.179.201 (talk) 23:51, 7 July 2007
:The film definitely shows the interior of the Old Rose pub. The Interior of the pub has substantially changed. The bar has moved, but the old fire place which can be seen in the film remains. Later in the film there is also another interesting shot near Easthampstead Road.--Peeky (talk) 17:44, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

message: 0.9 sqaure miles seems an inconsistently small area for the town considering the population is 30000 (that would give it a population density greater than central London). I am assuming the the boundaries for population and area measurement are different, but if that is the case the claims are misleading. Can anyone find like-for-like measurements? If not, I suggest the 'area' claim is removed or modified. a_boardley (talk) 15:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I have deleted The Wheelwrights were the first family to found the town and give it the name of Wokingham. At first it was part of Sandhurst until the Wheelwrights bought the rights and privileges of the Wokingham area. This was a joke insertion by User 194.80.76.200 made4 May 2010 and not noticed til now. Unfortunately it has been repeated round the Internet. Until 18 October 2010 the vandal User:194.80.76.200 made many edits. The account was blocked 18 October 2010. How many other false insertions by this vandal remain remain?--Wetman (talk) 20:06, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

message: In the introductory section, and the Governance section in particular, the information seems to be focused mainly about Borough of Wokingham, not Wokingham town. I'd like to recommend that information relating specifically to the Borough geographical area / unitary authority is moved to the Borough page, and the scope of this page is reduced to focus specifically on the areas within the town boundaries (Evendons (including Woosehill), Emmbrook, Norreys, and Wescott). Similarly the Governance section should be handled the same way governance is covered on any of the other Wokingham borough town/village pages such as Finchampstead - that it focuses on the Town Council, and links out to the Borough page. The current information about the Borough governance should be moved onto the Borough page, whose Governance section is pretty basic.  Rillaith (talk) 14:12, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
