Talk:Bewdley

message: ?I live close to Bewdley and have never heard about this; I can also find no sources substantiating it. Could somebody provide a source for this information? --Shastrix 22:58, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I live in Bewdley, and I can assure you that we are most definitely English! It sounds like one of those laws like the one supposedly allowing people in Chester to shoot Welshmen with longbows (or whatever it is), and I can see no value at all in leaving it in. So I've hacked it out. Loganberry 16:16, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

text: I'm not really sure how much of a community there was here a thousand years ago. A little bit of vaguely relevant trivia, though: Wribbenhall (the part of the town on the eastern, ie English, side of the river) was at one time slightly derogatively known as "the Christian shore". I have no proper sources for this, so it can't go in the article, but I have heard it more than once. Loganberry (Talk) 15:58, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Have you got some sources for any of that? Some of it might fit quite well in the article if so - the Whispering Street stuff would be nice to have - but it shouldn't go in without those references. Regarding Catchems End, my copy of Bewdley in its Golden Age mentions (p6) several examples of Bewdley being used as a sanctuary town. Loganberry (Talk) 01:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bewdley, an anomalous outlying part of Wales 

message: I've uploaded a picture of Bewdley Bridge that I took a few weeks ago. There is currently repair work going on to fix part of the balustrade, so some other possible views of it aren't possible at the moment without showing a lot of unsightly temporary barriers - you can actually see them in this picture (near the centre of the bridge), but from this angle I don't think they're too intrusive. As for the possibility of more photos, I don't see why not, but I think we'd need a longer and more detailed article first to stop it looking overbalanced with so many pictures. Loganberry (Talk) 23:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks to both of you as well; I'm very pleased with our progress over the last few weeks. Plenty more to do of course (sorry Stefan!), but we're getting there. Loganberry (Talk) 22:05, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

text: It's a shame there isn't an infobox that doesn't make pages look so ugly... Loganberry (Talk) 00:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I've removed the table at least for now, because it doesn't seem suitable for a town within a two-tier authority (district and county), as Worcestershire is. The population thingy shows the figures for Wyre Forest as a whole (just under 100,000), which is so misleading that we're better off without it. I'm also not happy with the idea that we should simply mention the town council under "Politics", seeing as both the district and the county council have far more power. The infobox on the Worcester page is there because Worcester is in itself a local government district; the format is not suitable for a town such as Bewdley which is not itself a district. Loganberry (Talk) 00:36, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Hello to you too! I'd better make clear that I don't have any problem with an infobox per se except for the minor complaint about the way they tend to overwhelm pages' appearances. If there is an infobox around which would be suitable for this page, then by all means go ahead and add it. Loganberry (Talk) 11:52, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New photos 

message: Please fill it with sane data. I have borrowed the table from the Worcester site. --StefanvH 18:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Table 

message: This page has been vandalised twice this year by anon editors (possibly the same one, as both IP addresses were 172.x.x.x) to include references to a "Thomas McNeil". These can (and should) be reverted on sight. Loganberry (Talk) 23:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It happened again recently, along with another silly edit about the bridge. Now reverted. Loganberry (Talk) 00:23, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Keep an eye out, please 

message: The infobox incorrectly listed the post town as Kidderminster for some while. It isn't - Bewdley is a post town, as List of post towns in the United Kingdom will make clear (look under DY). Loganberry (Talk) 00:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Post town 

message: I've cut this section back to the bare facts. I can certainly accept that there may well be more suitable material to put there, but please remember that it needs to be referenced. We as editors also need to remember that we should not include our own value judgements. For example, a previous version of the section included the following:
:The Bewdley school is very well known to be a place of excellence and is under leadership by a Practical and Inspirational head teacher
That's no good for a Wikipedia article. We must only use other people's opinions, not our own, per the WP:NPOV policy. If someone has made such a quote in a local newspaper or other reliable, verifiable source then we can use it, but it needs to be specifically cited as such.

thread_title:  Education 

message: I noticed a piece of paper stuck up in town today saying that the Saturday market would end "for good" after the 9 May. I have no way of telling whether this is accurate, and so far there seems to be nothing in the local media, but since the weekly market was granted in 1472 I think it will be notable if it does go. Loganberry (Talk) 17:37, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Just a handwritten piece of paper stuck to a post about where the passage to the market comes off Load Street. I can't remember the precise wording, I'm afraid. Loganberry (Talk) 18:09, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

text: There was a front-page story about it in the Kidderminster Chronicle yesterday, talking about the possibility of a revival. I've added a brief mention. Loganberry (Talk) 21:31, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Market to close? 

message: While checking  some Worcestershire articles, I  came across some vandalism here that I  have edited out. I've also made a couple more clean ups on  the fly.--Kudpung (talk) 08:04, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Vandalism

message: Thanks to the new OS OpenData licence, I have been able to add a map to the "Town geography" section. I won't pretend that I'm any sort of genius here: I just took out a rectangle from the appropriate National Grid square, did the minor editing mentioned on its File: page and plunked it here. I think it adds to the article, even so. Loganberry (Talk) 23:36, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

message: In the history section I have deleted the citation need put against Stanley Baldwin being MP for Bewdley, having corrected to 1908 the year he was first elected after his Wikipedia biography and constituency article. That he ceased to be in 1937 is indisputable as he waited until after Edward VIII's abdication and George VI's coronation before resigning as PM and MP and accepting peerage.Cloptonson (talk) 20:40, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
