Talk:Wallingford, Oxfordshire

message: I've just removed some stuff from the article, as it was a possible copyright infringement. Parts were identical to text in "The Story of Wallingford", an article on a nice Wallingford website. Actually, parts of it seem not to be from that page. I might put some back... -- Oliver P. 10:02, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

message: The population data on this page (7000) was massively wrong - there are at least 10,000. Have updated temproarily to about 10,000 - will add a proper figure asap

message: The town is reportedly trying to de-twin from Luxeuil-les-Bains.--T. Anthony (talk) 08:57, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Detwinning, notable? 

message: There is too much emphasis on Wallingford Castle in this article. Later history is provided, but the narrative keeps going back to the castle. Perhaps greater reference to the area surrounding Wallingford might be in order. --Oldontarian (talk) 15:28, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Surely, in an encyclopedic article, there need not be any reference to the number of parking spaces in different locations in the town.--Brenont (talk) 01:56, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed Brenont. I will remove the unsourced section. Location is for a Geography section. WP:Settlement applies.SovalValtos (talk) 08:32, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I beleive that the inclusion of the Pictures with the aritcle benefits the reader in terms of breaking up content and making the page easier to read. This is particularly true with the History page. I however understant that my view is not consistant with everyones. Does anyone have any thoughts on specific images that would be considered bloat and that do not improve the page? Regards Jhv.wilder (talk) 11:40, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: User:Jhv.wilder Thank you for continuing the discussion on images in a new section. However you have not reverted your replacement of images as asked, so they will be removed shortly. It is up to you to convince others that they should be included with arguments based on policy and compliance with guidelines rather than simply saying you like them. WP:IMAGEPOL, as advised to you previously, is central here. The images removed by User:Lyndaship that you replaced in this edit  with the edit summary "I disagree, the use of images makes the content accessable" are just some that are some specific images that are likely to be removed. I am sorry if you are disheartened by having edits reverted, but it is something that can happen to all of us and should happen less often as policies and guidelines become more familiar. Editing is not always easy. Best wishes.SovalValtos (talk) 02:38, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Discussions regarding inclusion of Pictures in article

message: In about 1959 I was one of six secondary school students who were taken to the Hydraulics Research Station in Wallingford as a prize for writing a good essay in a Christmas Lecture from the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Shouldn't it be included part of contemporary history? And also addition about Howbery Park?
