message: Roger Mortimer, effectively acting as Edward III's regent during his minority, was captured at Nottingham Castle by Edward and some young Turks. This is from Mortimer's page on wiki:-  
The jealousy and anger of many nobles were aroused by Mortimer's use of power. Henry, Earl of Lancaster, one of the principals behind Edward II's deposition, tried to overthrow Mortimer, but the action was ineffective as the young king passively stood by. Then, in March 1330, Mortimer ordered the execution of Edmund, Earl of Kent, the half-brother of Edward II. After this execution Henry Lancaster prevailed upon the young king, Edward III, to assert his independence. In October 1330, a Parliament was summoned to Nottingham, just days before Edward's eighteenth birthday, and Mortimer and Isabella were seized by Edward and his companions from inside Nottingham Castle. In spite of Isabella's entreaty to her son, "Fair son, have pity on the gentle Mortimer," Mortimer was conveyed to the Tower. Accused of assuming royal power and of various other high misdemeanours, he was condemned without trial and ignominiously hanged at Tyburn on 29 November 1330, his vast estates forfeited to the crown. His body hung at the gallows for two days and nights in full view of the populace. Mortimer's widow Joan received a pardon in 1336 and survived till 1356. She was buried beside Mortimer at Wigmore, but the site was later destroyed.
Some or all of this story would fit well in the History section of this page on Nottingham, being one of the most dramatic events in the city's history when Edward III finally took charge of the country.

message: Why is Sutton Bonnington, which is outside of the city, used in the climate section? Surely a weather box for Watnall is all that is needed - if Sutton Bonnington is used it should be either on the article for the village itself, or on the Loughborough article, nearest town.2A02:C7F:C812:FD00:C541:F7F5:2531:957F (talk) 23:01, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Watnall is also outside of the city, and having more information (that can be easily hidden) isn't making the article worse? —Kusma (t·c) 08:46, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

text: Climate is better covered at the county level article. Microclimate can vary over a few miles, so the detail is likely to be incorrect for the city. I have removed these boxes in the past, only to have them put back by a weather enthusiast. I prpose removing the boxes and restricting weather to a short prose description per WP:PROSE.Charles (talk) 09:41, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

message: It would be helpful if the "Around the city" section gave some criterion for inclusion - one place was recently removed as "Quite a distance from the city itself", while others in the list are further away. PamD 23:29, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: What exactly does this list of places around or in the city actually do? A lot of it is subjective especially in the case of Langley Mill and Ilkeston which while are near Nottingham. Would be better placed in the Greater Nottingham article than here for the city alone given the actual urban area includes Derby, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Mansfield, Alfreton Belper, Ripley Heanor.  etc...I really don't see how the around the city bit works whereas those which are in the city like Bulwell, Arnold, Beeston, West Bridgford, Hucknall and Daybrook are better placed to be mentioned than others like Langley Mill Ilkeston Long Eaton Sandiacre and Ruddington which are not directly near the city area...DragonofBatley (talk) 00:14, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

message: The info-box should be a standard template for every municipality about which there is an article. That box contains the demonym for that municipality in almost all Wikipedia articles about municipalities that I've read here. I assume it started out life as standard, and that someone has DELETED the demonym. Please fix Wikipedia so that this kind of information is standardized across all municipalities. I came here for one quick look to see if people from Nottingham are called "Nottinghammers" and that is NOT here. This is how Wikipedia wastes people's time when information is standardized across many, but not all, articles within a category of things such as "municipalities". Uniform templates are of the utmost importance.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 22:05, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
