thread_title: Assessment report

message: Crewe appears in the following limerick, which can be found in Roald Dahl's Matilda, though I'm not sure if Dahl is the writer of the limerick or if it was a popular limerick that he incorporated into the book:
I thought this should probably be mentioned in the article but wasn't sure where to put it. Any input would be welcome. --Thiebes (talk) 15:49, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

message: I've never been to Crewe but I gather that it has a large Polish population, I think the largest in Cheshire. Should this be mentioned? I've added that the RC church has a Polish mass. Ausseagull (talk) 12:09, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: The Railway Age

message: I think a project or a sub-project (within the UK geography project) dealing with the whole of Cheshire would be a good idea.
I have taken as a precedent the project about Cornwall, which any project dealing with Cheshire could hope to aspire to, since this project has constructed Featured Articles about Cornwall-related things. So, I've listed a proposed project concerning Cheshire on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I think it can easily co-exist with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. I would not want to diminish or withdraw from this other project. If you are interested in contributing to this proposed project, please add your name to list at the appropriate place. If you think it might be better placed as a sub-project of the existing UK Geography Project, please say so on that project's talk page, here, and let us discuss it. Many thanks.  DDStretch  (talk) 02:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: 8 Hours From Paris

message: The following is unsourced information:
* The Limelight, Crewe is a live music venue, established in the mid 1990s. With three floors, the Annex Bar and Music Cafe, the club has a capacity of over 900. From humble beginnings (with mainly tribute bands) the club is now one of the North's top venues. 
* Crewe has a fast growing population of workers from Poland who, with their families, have migrated to south Cheshire after Poland's accession to the European Community. Polish immigrants have also had a strong presence in Crewe since the days of World War II, hence the long-established Polish Working Mens Club on West Street, Crewe.
* Generations of British children learned the distribution of positive trigonometric values around a circle using the mnemonic All Stations Through Crewe: all of them in quadrant 1, sine in quadrant 2, tan in quadrant 3, and cosine in quadrant 4.
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 03:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced material 

message: Ok. I have sourced info about the origins of the name, together with a source for a "riddle" that I was told by my father which refers to the history of its name: "That which is Crewe is not Crewe, and that which is not Crewe is Crewe." (done at the koment from memory) It involves the civil parish of Crewe Green which was, at the time, the paruish of Crewe, and it will also involve material about the origins of the names "Monks Coppenhall" and "Church Copenhall" which were the twin townships of Coppenhall Ancient Parish, which was the location of the original "Crewe Colony", the town of Crewe and the later borough until it started to expand more into adjacent parishes. I'll add it shortly. The history section needs to be worked on a lot, as do all the other sections.  DDStretch  (talk) 00:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Workgroup on improving the article

message: The change of name occured in the 1980s, not exactly sure when.Alsager boy (talk) 14:40, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've checked it, added a missing reference, and the reference does confirm it was actually 1974. I think unless a more reliable source can be found which provides the verification and can be cited stating otherwise, the year of 1974 should remain. What source are you using for the idea that it was the 1980s? I've also emailed the parish council to see if they can shed any light on the date.  DDStretch  (talk) 16:58, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crewe Green 

message: I have marked the Economy section as requiring citation.  It is also pretty disjointed and confused.  I will try to get round to tidying it up.  Pixie2000 (talk) 18:30, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Economy 

message: If Crewe is due to get its own town/parish council, it could merit having its own page, as other local councils do. Election results themselves in detail do not belong on this page, and as council candidates have been selected they should be taken to a new page. Cooltrainer Hugh (talk) 03:14, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I removed a lot of information from the section; it was probably added by a local Labour Party member, as it seemed so largely focus on their parliamentary candidate for 2015. Cooltrainer Hugh (talk) 03:16, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
