Talk:City of Winchester

message: This page was formerly at City of Winchester.  While the district is technically called the City of Winchester, this is a misleading title for the article as it would naturally refer to the city rather than the district.  For example, road signs saying "welcome to the City of Winchester" are on the city boundaries, rather than the district boundaries, and almost noone refers to the district as the "City of Winchester" - for example, the city council always refers to the district as "Winchester District" .

replies: text: I've cleaned up further links from the templates on this page. Although I have to say this is not an endorsement of the current naming. All other district articles follow the form City of Foo, Royal Borough of Foo, Foo (borough) or Foo (district) depending on their status or for cases where the district and the settlement they cover are coterminous, Foo. This naming is outside this scheme. MRSC 13:39, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would support either the current Winchester district, or, given the current naming of the other articles,  moving to City of Winchester (district), City of Winchester district, or similar, as suitable names.  City of Winchester on its own is too ambiguous to be a suitable name in this particular situation.  "City of Winchester" can mean either the city itself or the whole district. Its meaning as the district is virtually never used in common usage (even by the city council itself), and is only ever found in a small number of official documents.

text: I'm moving this back (again).  If you want to move one, they all have to be moved, no special pleading.  And the naming convention would indicate Winchester (district) anyway Morwen - Talk 13:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
