Talk:Newcastle-under-Lyme

message: An anonymous contributor has added near the beginning of the article a short list of other Newcastles. Such a list is potentially enormous, do we really want it?  I am moving it to the end of the article. NoelWalley 11:53, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: One of these cities is in Japan. Having now looked at the Japanese city's own English Version website, things are slightly clearer. The contributor needs to elaborate considerably on what has or is happening here. NoelWalley 12:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Other Newcastles

message: I hope it can be agreed that it is important that all new links should be tested (show preview - and then take the link - if in any doubt that it leads to a relevant article). With place names in particular red links indicating a lack of article can easily be activated later by a new article relating to a different place. In this article, links to Clayton, Butterton, Madeley, Chesterton and Silverdale all pointed to the wrong place. Articles for the local Clayton, Butterton, Knutton, Westlands, Cross Heath, and Porthill do not exist - no doubt if and when they are written the writers will add links. Generally speaking only the first mention of a place should be linked. Generally speaking 20th and 21st century years are not now linked. NoelWalley 12:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Wikilinks

message: I have rewritten this article of the past two days, to remove link farms (WP:EL), lists converted into prose, added details on the demographics and to try and bring the article into line with these guidelines.  Also I have removed a lot of "Borough" info and moved it to other articles as well as taking out weasel words  There is still plenty to be added to the history section, but I am having trouble finding economic activity information outside of the census.  Does anyone know a good source? Regan123 17:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Towards [[WP:GA|a good article]] 

message: Good to see that this wiki recognizes that Newcastle Under Lyme also goes by the byname of "Underlem" in Cheshire, especially so in the townships of Audlem and Burslem. Sets the potteries town asunder from its more well-known northeastern namesake well, methinks— Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.68.243.249 (talk) 11:41, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Underlem" the byname for Newcastle Under Lyme 

message: There has been a WP advisory at the top of the "Notables" section, warning contributors that they should be clear what "notables" means and that the people listed as "notables" fit the definition. I've not found an official (WP) definition of "notable" so I've made one up:
* By "notable people" is meant people who (1) historically have contributed something significant to the development of the world (and Newcastle) and (2) in modern times it also includes people who have become well known through their cultural or sporting achievements. They will have been born in Newcastle, studied here or lived a big part of their lives here, or very nearby.
I've now deleted the WP advisory; I trust this definition will do.

thread_title:  Who is a notable? 

message: The image of "Newcastle Civic Centre At Night" is NOT of Newcastle Under Lyme Civic Centre, but that of Newcastle Upon Tyne! Could somebody please delete this or change it for the correct image (if there is one) as I don't know how to do this. Thanks in advance DaveNUL (talk) 14:39, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
