message: "Perhaps in recognition of John Wesley part of the present day A462 road is in fact named Wesley Road."
Wesley Road is also the site of the Methodist Church and Wesley Hall, the site of which takes up about a third of the length of the road. The present chapel dates from 1881. There was an earlier chapel in close proximity. I think that the statement as it appears in the article doesn't have a strong enough basis. 109.249.181.86 (talk) 23:33, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Jack Cowin

message: "Despite this, in 2017, he has been noted for his miserliness with regards to weekend worker penalty rates within Australia, regarding them as a "thing of the past". http://www.smh.com.au/business/hungry-jack-cowins-solution-to-penalty-rate-standoff-20151216-glphv7.html"  More specifically, "he has been noted for his miserliness".  The referenced link has no mention of him being miserly or any kind of reference to this being negative.  It would appear that this is a personal opinion and should probably be removed unless I'm missing something here.  In reference to the claim itself, it stands to reason that if (as per article) the goal was to reduce youth unemployment, then it can hardly be considered 'miserly' to get rid of said penalty.98.200.176.128 (talk) 00:18, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree about the need for expansion. If you just want to understand the phenomenon, (Nunberg 1995) is an excellent introduction. Unfortunately, it is not available on-line. The basic idea is that one takes a phrase such as "the ham sandwich", which in isolation means no more than it says, and use it to refer to a thing that is related to it but doesn't share any of its meaning, such as "person who ordered the ham sandwich". There is more discussion and several more examples in the linked paper by Ward (though I caution you to read it with a critical eye). — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 01:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hockley Heath is in the Meriden constituency for Westminster elections, not Solihull.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.30.39 (talk) 16:32, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The prominence given to Nuthurst within this article is debatable and its inclusion perhaps misleading. Nuthurst is the name of a civil parish (which included the hamlet of the same name) abolished in 1932, when its area was transferred to Tanworth civil parish, later renamed Tanworth-in-Arden. The connection with Hockley Heath is its nearness and the ecclesiastical parish of Nuthurst-cum-Hockley Heath, but we don't base settlement articles on ecclesiastical parishes. Note, Hockley Heath is in Solihull Metropolitan Borough and West Midlands County while Nuthurst is in Stratford-on-Avon district and Warwickshire. Perhaps the section on Nuthurst ought to be transferred into Tanworth-in-Arden with a redirect? Against this, the target article is fairly short and would rather dominate it. Alternatively, a new page could be created for Nuthurst, Warwickshire if notability can be established. Rupples (talk) 23:42, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

This should read that "...most doubt that the markings represent systematic writing at all..." Most archeologists and historians do not consider this to be an early writing form. The only people who think that this is a writing form are ethnocentric, government sponsored Chinese archaeologists/historians and the associated fringe Western types.

message: Some one changed the identification of swine ford to the river crossing of a very small brook in Brook Road.  This is a case of WP:OR.  This could not have given rise to the name Kingswinford.  Oldswinford is the name of the ancient parish which included Stourbridge and Amblecote, and thus includes the ford on what is probably an Anglo-Saxon road from Gloucester and Worcester to Wolverhampton, Stafford, and the northwest.  That was an important road.  If some one wants to assert that the whole parish takes its name the place where it was necessary to paddle through (or jump) a small brook, evidence needs to be quoted, preferably initially here, rather than by altering the article.
