Talk:History of Cheshire

message: #Article needs to be massively expanded.
#It should make use of sections.
#Photos and maps need to be added.
#A "timeline" would assist greatly.
#References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. Make sure that as many as possible are "in-line" citations.(See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.)

thread_title:  Assessment Report 

message: This article seems to be exactly the same as the history section of Cheshire.  Should it be changed into a redirect? Nik42 05:57, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessary. It was short and identical for a long period, but now that the Cheshire WikiProject is up and running, it will be shortly expanded by probably a group of people.  DDStretch  (talk) 01:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Coverage

message: I'll be periodically, over the next few weeks, be putting the "inuse" template on the main page, as I've begun to expand this article to what i hope is more than a mere stub, which is what it's been up till now. People will see that a bibliography has now been added. This lists all books tyhat will be referenced with in-text references during the editing of this period. Thanks. DDStretch  (talk) 18:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Expansion to begin

message: I have had a go at expanding the page.  I am aware I have not yet cited everything.  There is also a 'gap' covering the early 20th Century.  I have therefore classed this as 'C' instead of stub - but I am not expert on grading pages!  Anyway, it is a start in the right direction!  Pixie2000 (talk) 21:03, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Great job! If you're able to finish the citations in the next few days, then you should definitely submit this to Did You Know (though note that most reviewers are requiring a minimum of one inline citation per paragraph these days). Espresso Addict (talk) 23:22, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Added much more citation, some minor grammatical tidy-up has been completed.  Pixie2000 (talk) 20:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

text: OK, getting there!  It is missing 1600 to 1750 and early 20th century, if anyone wants to contribute!  Pixie2000 (talk) 21:26, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't help with 1600 to 1750 (never got my head around the Civil War and for some unknown reason my local library doesn't contain the 1660–1780 volume of A History of Cheshire), but I've got Tigwell out at the moment so I could have a stab at fleshing out the early 20th. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:56, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Expansion begun

message: I'm having trouble writing something short enough for 20th century -- just agriculture proved rather too detailed, and that's just one of six chapters in Tigwell. I think I'll broaden what I wrote out in my sandbox somewhat, and then start it as an independent article, perhaps History of agriculture in Cheshire? Espresso Addict (talk) 01:38, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  20th century reverted edits 

message: The photo captioned "Offa's Dyke near Clun" (in section "Mercian [period]") should be deleted - it is irrelevant to the article as Clun is in south-west Shropshire, outside Cheshire!Cloptonson (talk) 20:18, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Not only that, but I'm pretty sure that no parts of Offa's Dyke or Wat's Dyke are located within Cheshire.  Some tweaking is needed.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 11:27, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This article uses mostly plain-text short footnotes, with one use of .  Are there any objections to me converting the plain-text footnotes to ?  This has the advantage of linking the footnote to the source in the bibliography.  I would also convert the bibliography to either CS1 ( etc.) or CS2 () at the same time to make the links work.
