This infobox {{ Infobox England place}} looks the most appropriate. Lets fill it out, then paste it into the article. -- Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) ( Talk) 10:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
That article consists of one sentence and some links. I think both articles will benefit from moving the material here. -- Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) ( Talk) 14:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
OK, I have put my mouse where my mouth is, and removed the following 4 links from the article. While they provide useful additional information about Corsham, I don't think their information is encyclopedic in the spirit described by English Wikipedia's external links policy.
I have also tweaked some of the other links so that they link into what (in my opinion) are the most interesting and encyclopedic pages on those sites. Is the article looking any better for it? -- Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) ( Talk) 08:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I came across this profile of Corsham recently. Not sure if it should be added as an external link or not, but it might well be interesting if looking to add a little more to this page. [1] - Jim Avery —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.172.179.40 ( talk) 12:13, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I have a preference for articles to cover an entire civil parish or borough, and not just the town, as this one does. Therefore piped links like [[Corsham|Neston, Wiltshire]] link here. This was my reasoning for mentioning the surrounding villages and hamlets in bold in the lead section, so that readers not only get an early overview of the district, but are reassured that the article is relevant to the village they are researching. -- Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) ( Talk) 14:18, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Now we have the infobox and an overview of the key features of the district, I think this is a B-Class article. I have changed the box above - but is it right for me to tag it myself (I did a little of the work) or is there a place to ask an outside editor to review and tag it?
A few more to the 'to do' list attempted, and it could go for Good Article review. -- Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) ( Talk) 13:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
The article has been greatly expanded [2], since the assessment of 2007 that demoted it to Start class. I have promoted it to B class again, and crossed many items off the to-do list. -- Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) ( Talk) 14:32, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
Content has been added from an article that was merged and redirected following an WP:AfD consensus. Regular editors to Corsham may wish to review and copy edit the new content as necessary. See section: Education, and compare diffs for details. -- Kudpung ( talk) 02:12, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
In the history section it is stated that Corsham is mentioned in the Domesday book as Cosseham and further down that it is recorded as "''Cosseha'' in 1086". To me the latter seems to also refer to the Domesday book and to be a misreading not considering the 'hook' above the latter "a", s. the image on https://opendomesday.org/place/ST8670/corsham/, which is to be interpreted as "m" here.
https://apps.wiltshire.gov.uk/communityhistory/Community/Index/71 is given as a source for the spellings ''Coseham'' and Cosseha. I find neither claim in the source.
And by the way: How do you pronounce Corsham? Cors-ham or Cor-sham (as in Melksham)? PhiRho~dewiki ( talk) 09:58, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
