Theres Eastville and Midville, out on the Fen near Stickney, but no Westville, unless Stickney was it once upaon a day. Ive found three lists now that mention Westville.
Multimap blanks it, but Streetmap mentions Westville Farm, just North of Gipsey Bridge

hey ive found some more new place names. Thompsons Bottom seems to refer to a stretch of road with a factory unit, just west of Ashby De La Launde
Other ones are Skendleby Psalter and Thorpe Park (near Woodhall). Wonder why Lincolnshire County Council are inventing new place names??

Are you aware of the English Place-Name Society volumes? I seem to remember Lincs. hadn't been fully covered, but that may have changed in the last 10 years or so. Also, a lot of this kind of research was done in the creation of the "E 179 Database". I should know, I worked on it for five years! Not on Lincs., tho... I remember colleagues having a particularly tough time with Lincs. But "lost place-names" can often be found in the database, with a grid reference too in many cases. About "Loveden" in particular, its earliest occurrence in the database is in a document in existence by 16 June 1328, ref. "E179/135/10"., where it occurs as the name of a wapentake and a deanery, but nothing else. That rather rules out the "plague village" idea. Bear in mind wapentakes (and hundreds) could be named after a rural spot where meetings were held, or a landscape feature, and frequently not after a settlement. Interestingly, it seems nowhere called "Westville" occurs in the whole database. HTH. Nortonius ( talk) 10:40, 10 April 2010 (UTC

Can anyone justify this statement? --- "The county of Lincolnshire appears to be experiencing a resurrection of old village and hamlet placenames and, in some instances, the creation of new placenames. This makes the compilation of a definitive list of Lincolnshire villages an especially open-ended task." --- in what context has there been a "resurrection" of old place names? In the naming of new housing developments? Quite possible. In the re-naming of existing villages? Seems unlikely. Can anyone provide evidence or references?
"This makes ... an open-ended task" --- well, yeah, just like the rest of Wikipedia!! Seriously though, how is Lincs special in this regard? The accuracy of any toponymic exercise is subject to its own limiting factors, we know, but do we need to make this explicit in the particular case of Lincolnshire?

Ok, i propose we agree on a standard. Ive done an update on all the places that already had pages, and now ive gone back to A and started creating the non esistant pages. I propse we construct the pages as follows:
Sample text:
(village) lies on (road) near (town/ landmark)
(other interesting facts, famous poeple, famous sights, famous buuildings/monoliths/natural features}
Grid reference
latitude and longitude
link to multimap map
link to multimap arial view
other links -churches, village websites, golf courses, buildings, people etc.
Uk geo stub
end
If possible, make disambig pages for any other place hogging the title page. For a sample look at Aisthorpe. Im now going to systematically work through A to Z making all the pages like this.
What u think?

The use of while in the sense of "until" is given as an example of a peculiarly or characteristically Lincolnshire usage. In fact it is also common in my native Lancashire and I suspect it is known throughout those parts of England which were exposed to Old Norse influence.

The pages for the villages in Lincolnshire really need a lot of work. Maybe we could do something with local newspapers or something, to get people to write an article for their village and then we could just post them up here? Just an idea. Ben 2082 ( talk) 16:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm a bit worried about the table in section 2.2 'Services and Retail'. The list to the iggi web site is broken, and the article does not say what this is a ranking of.

I know this affects Lincolnshire as a whole and not this page as much but the main map for Lincolnshire which has all the major routes and railway lines needs a update to take account of the new A16 route to Peterborough with old A16 route to Stamford from Spalding being downgraded to a non-primary route but I dont know how to inform the necessary people so that the update can be preformed.

I think its high time that a special page (enlisted "Politics of Lincolnshire") was set up to look at recent and past election results for Lincolnshire in both county council and also the unitary authorities in North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire. I propose that the new page is split into five sections, one for each of the council areas which can be filled with maps to show how each ward voted both in the present and in the past as well as show results from each of the wards. I also propose a section to focus on Westminster results from across the county although great detail may need not be applied to that section and also a final section on the recent AV referendum and also the page could also be used to providing information on district council results both past and present but I am thinking more at this time about county/unitary authority level. This brand new page would ease the need to put detailed information on the main county page as well as providing brand new information on the political landscape of Lincolnshire as well as its political past at a local level.

I'm glad to see so many small villages with articles in Wikipedia, but there are a couple of things missing. First, population figures for the 21st century. I know the government websites are hard to use, but I wish someone would take a list of villages in one hand and a computer mouse in the other and spend some time copying down the statistics and entering them into the relevant wikipedia pages. Even to complete the 2001 offerings would help, but its time to add 2011 figures as well--across the board.
Second, many villages are simply the most densely populated part of a civil parish of the same name. The local electorate is made up of the inhabitants of the whole parish, not just the village. Village articles should really be considered to be civil parish articles, especially for the smallest of places.
Third, this is one history nut who isn't really interested in what the Domeday Book had to say about a parish, but would like to know what made a parish tick in the 19th and 20th centuries. I've come across a few quotations from Kelly's Directory of 1885--these are really informative. Even if the parish was wholly made up of farmers, what was the most likely crop those farmers took to market? -- Oldontarian ( talk) 15:21, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

I fixed one error in the infobox {{ Infobox English county}}. It apparently uses magic to get various values from a table somewhere but it requires that certain standard names be used for the look-up. There is another error which needs some study of the template documentation. Under "Unitary authority", the area and density values are showing [convert: needs a number]. That is because a standard name was not used somewhere and the area look-up failed. Johnuniq ( talk) 01:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Lists of notable people do tend to overwhelm county pages as there are so many of them. This page has quite wisely followed the advice to take this into a separate list article, List of people from Lincolnshire (see section "Splitting up people from Lincolnshire" above), but for some reason that article was also still being duplicated here. I have removed the list and ensured there is a see also under the People section. An alternative is to soldier on with this list in the article, but then the standalone list would be a redundant fork that would need to go to AfD. However I think the arrangement proposed by AustinRedd007, with the information hived off, is better. It just needed the follow through of not duplicating it all in the main article.

The pages for the villages in Lincolnshire really need a lot of work. Maybe we could do something with local newspapers or something, to get people to write an article for their village and then we could just post them up here? Just an idea. Ben 2082 ( talk) 16:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm a bit worried about the table in section 2.2 'Services and Retail'. The list to the iggi web site is broken, and the article does not say what this is a ranking of. Is it sales volume, number of boarded up shops, level of shoplifting, number of retail outlets, average door width for wheelchair users, number of shops painted yellow? I can't tell.

I think that we need to add some details of the counties representation in the European Parliament as a result of the elections, currently there is no mention of Europe in this context. Keith D ( talk) 12:28, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I think that a historic map as well has a section of Lincolnshire (Pre 1974) would be very useful on the Lincolnshire on the page also I think that the map should inculde the broundrys of the three old county counils of Holland, Lindsey and Kesteven as there is no link from the Lincolnshire page to these articles! —Preceding unsigned comment added by MOTORAL1987 ( talk • contribs) 11:19, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Is it time to move 'events' and 'places of interest' out to a separate page?-- Brunnian ( talk) 17:47, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I know this affects Lincolnshire as a whole and not this page as much but the main map for Lincolnshire which has all the major routes and railway lines needs a update to take account of the new A16 route to Peterborough with old A16 route to Stamford from Spalding being downgraded to a non-primary route but I dont know how to inform the necessary people so that the update can be preformed.

I think its high time that a special page (enlisted "Politics of Lincolnshire") was set up to look at recent and past election results for Lincolnshire in both county council and also the unitary authorities in North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire. I propose that the new page is split into five sections, one for each of the council areas which can be filled with maps to show how each ward voted both in the present and in the past as well as show results from each of the wards. I also propose a section to focus on Westminster results from across the county although great detail may need not be applied to that section and also a final section on the recent AV referendum and also the page could also be used to providing information on district council results both past and present but I am thinking more at this time about county/unitary authority level. This brand new page would ease the need to put detailed information on the main county page as well as providing brand new information on the political landscape of Lincolnshire as well as its political past at a local level.

This article has a bunch but something should be done about, or explained with regards to the inclusion of Thomas Paine who had nothing as far as I'm aware to do with Lincolnshire - wrong Lincoln? Also the language section looks like it has been copy/pasted from the Yorkshire page. Some of the stuff in there is definitely not Lincolnshire simply because it has bled into Lincolnshire in some parts. Streaky ( talk) 00:59, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
The remark Robin Hood Airport ... provide a wider range of flights. puzzles me. Humberside has thrice-daily scheduled flights to Aberdeen & Schiphol, and a bunch of charters. And the offshore helicopters. Robin hood seems to have intermittent & charter flights. Who nominates one or the other as superior? -- Robert EA Harvey ( talk) 21:17, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
hi there
as far as I can see Lincolnshire is the only County not to have its own page for the County Council [1]
instead it has http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincolnshire_County_Council#Politics which is actually a section on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincolnshire
Shall I create one?

I'm glad to see so many small villages with articles in Wikipedia, but there are a couple of things missing. First, population figures for the 21st century. I know the government websites are hard to use, but I wish someone would take a list of villages in one hand and a computer mouse in the other and spend some time copying down the statistics and entering them into the relevant wikipedia pages. Even to complete the 2001 offerings would help, but its time to add 2011 figures as well--across the board.
Second, many villages are simply the most densely populated part of a civil parish of the same name. The local electorate is made up of the inhabitants of the whole parish, not just the village. Village articles should really be considered to be civil parish articles, especially for the smallest of places.
Third, this is one history nut who isn't really interested in what the Domeday Book had to say about a parish, but would like to know what made a parish tick in the 19th and 20th centuries. I've come across a few quotations from Kelly's Directory of 1885--these are really informative. Even if the parish was wholly made up of farmers, what was the most likely crop those farmers took to market? -- Oldontarian ( talk) 15:21, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

As this article is now quite lengthy, would it be sensible to move the notable people section to a separate page (List of people from Lincolnshire) and then create a link to that on this page? AustinRedd007 —Preceding undated comment added 11:06, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I fixed one error in the infobox {{ Infobox English county}}. It apparently uses magic to get various values from a table somewhere but it requires that certain standard names be used for the look-up. There is another error which needs some study of the template documentation. Under "Unitary authority", the area and density values are showing [convert: needs a number]. That is because a standard name was not used somewhere and the area look-up failed. Johnuniq ( talk) 01:53, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
@ DragonofBatley: Again there are errors in the infobox. There are two instances of [convert: needs a number] under "Unitary authority". Please fix. @ Dr Greg: Would you please give an opinion on the recent edits. Johnuniq ( talk) 00:46, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Lists of notable people do tend to overwhelm county pages as there are so many of them. This page has quite wisely followed the advice to take this into a separate list article, List of people from Lincolnshire (see section "Splitting up people from Lincolnshire" above), but for some reason that article was also still being duplicated here. I have removed the list and ensured there is a see also under the People section. An alternative is to soldier on with this list in the article, but then the standalone list would be a redundant fork that would need to go to AfD. However I think the arrangement proposed by AustinRedd007, with the information hived off, is better. It just needed the follow through of not duplicating it all in the main article.
