I am against the proposed merge of articles suggested it would cause a loss of information in many cases and an overloading of the main page. Notably a similar set of proposals was made by an anonymous user to disrupt the Portsmouth page and those of its schools information is here and also here -- Drappel 22:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Can someone explain why the articles about the city suburbs have the suffix Hampshire rather than Southampton? e.g. Shirley, Hampshire rather than Shirley, Southampton (which is now a re-direct). As a Shirley resident, I don't consider that I live in Hampshire but rather in the City of Southampton, and I'm proud of it. On looking at the edit history, most of the articles were re-named in November 2006, with the edit summary "correct form of disambiguation". Where is this policy set out? Can you imagine renaming say, Edge Hill, Liverpool to Edge Hill, Lancashire simply because it falls within the boundaries of the old county of Lancashire?

I've tagged this article for cleanup because it needs to be substantially reorganised in order to meet the guidelines for this type of article (see the UK Geography wikiproject for details of these). In particular, the section titles and the ordering of the sections needs to be sorted out, and subsections of the history section should be subsections, not sections of equal weight.

I've just removed the external links section as none of them are important/notable enough. However they could be useful in writing the article and/or used as references, so I've included them below. -- Fluteflute Talk Contributions 13:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
Rather astonished at the absence of any mention. This town produced a machine that had a large part in preventing Hitler occupying this country ... Straw Cat ( talk) 12:47, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
