Have just attempted a long overdue cleanup of Hoole, Chester (created 1 March 2007). On adding the Chester District template, I noticed that there was also a Hoole Village article (created 7 November 2007). I then wondered if these articles were genuinely separate places or just duplication. Inclined towards the latter assumption, I was going to merge these articles. Having made mistakes in the past regarding same-name places in Cheshire, I've left them separate in the hope that someone can clarify my confusion.

I'd like to suggest that we aim to move the portal from monthly updates, which rely on articles being proposed ahead of schedule and then an editor remembering to do the update, to the random portal component system. This change would not only make administration considerably easier, but would also be a step in the direction of (eventually) applying for featured status for the portal, as the default at the featured portal review now appears to be random selection. Espresso Addict ( talk) 21:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
OK, I've started implementing this for the articles (8), biographies (8), pictures (8) and DYKs (15x3), though it isn't yet live (waiting till end of month). The system makes it relatively easy to add new items, so new suggestions and further comments on the current set of suggestions at Portal:Cheshire/Suggest would be useful. Also, if anyone is interested in updating the Cheshire news, that would be useful as I don't follow local news much. Espresso Addict ( talk) 18:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
It would be good to have other views about this article from any position, and specifically about the claim it contains that Frodsham is the only place with that name in the British Isles. The problem began when an editor edited out "British Isles" from a sentence for some reason, thereby making a verified claim from Frank Latham's book "Frodsham" incorrect. I replaced it with more targetted verification, and in the attempt to deny inclusion of that sentence which includes "British Isles", the question of the unique nature of the name arose. The full debate can be seen on User talk:Bardcom#Uses of British Isles, with the more specific name issue transferred to Talk:Frodsham. More views on Talk:Frodsham#Other possible uses of "Frodsham" would be good. DDStretch (talk) 21:40, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Re this map:
What is the grey area to the east of Sandbach (just across the M6 from it) and south-west of Congleton? The rest of the grey areas represent towns/cities/villages. I can't figure it out from my maps. Is this map wrong? Neıl ☎ 13:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
An editor is creating numerous small categories for small villages and places within Cheshire. See editors action of around May 22, 2008 for examples. I do not think this is at all helpful, as some of the categories contain just one entry, and I would like a wider input to discuss this matter.(probably on WT:UKGEO#Numerous small categories of "People from..." being created for small places within Cheshire.) Any opinions? DDStretch (talk) 09:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi I've just created these navboxes and added them to all the Churches in correct categories and have done a lot of work on other Cheshire articles and so i was wondering how do you join the Cheshire wiki project?

Hello team,
I've expanded/re-written the lead, and upgraded the infobox in Warrington's article. Other major problems with this page aside, there are a couple of gaps in the new infobox which require attention, whilst the lead may also benefit from a once-over by you good folks. I hope these changes are well received. -- Jza84 | Talk 15:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
I've started a sub page at User:Jza84/Merseyside for all those users who want to declare their interest in getting a WikiProject:Merseyside off the ground. Feel free to post a link to the aforementioned subpage to the necessary talk pages, and log your interest. :) -- Jza84 | Talk 20:42, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme! For the 1.0 Editorial Team, §hepBot ( Disable) 22:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello folks,
Just a nudge that your cousins over at WP:GM (now why don't we have a shared North West newsletter so we get better coverage of our work????), plan to nominate Greater Manchester for WP:FA status shortly. Your input in assisting its development towards that goal would be appreciated. -- Jza84 | Talk 01:28, 8 July 2008 (UTC) P.S. I think that shared newsletter/noticeboard is one of my best ideas ever, including real life!...
There's currently a proposal being discussed to merge Cheshire Cat and Cheshire Cat in popular culture together, to which people here may be interested in contributing: Talk:Cheshire Cat#Merger_proposal. DDStretch (talk) 06:59, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
There has been a discussion about the navbox at Template talk:Churches in Cheshire. The current navbox is enormous and not comprehensive. I hate to contemplate the size of a comprehensive navbox, which is in my opinion impractical. I have had a go at starting a List of churches in Cheshire here and even the Anglican churches are making a list of considerable side. I think the list format is practical but even this may have to be split by denomination. In my opinion it is worthwhile to continue with list(s) in this sort of format. What do others think? Peter I. Vardy ( talk) 15:20, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Just wondered if this was an article you may be interested in, since I have been slowly improving it and would appreciate any help offered? Parrot of Doom ( talk) 13:15, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
I need some other opinions about Cresswellshawe. I have large concerns about this article, since the place doesn't seem to exist, and some of the facts mentioned in the article are not correct. See the points I have given on Talk:Cresswellshawe. I'd welcome some comments, though my feeling is that it could be speedily deleted, since there is no real content to merge with whatever would be the most appropriate article (the grid reference places the hamlet in Betchton, though the nearest actual hamlet may be Lawton Heath End in Church Lawton). Comments welcomed. DDStretch (talk) 14:54, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I would be interested in what people think needs to happen to the Northwich article to get it upgraded from its classification as B-class.
There were some improvements suggested back in 2006 on the Talk pages but I think these have all been sorted now. Pixie2000 (talk) 07:09, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 22:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Many Cheshire articles are missing geographical coordinates. Finding the latitude and longitude of locations, and entering coordinates into articles is straightforwards, and explained at Wikipedia:Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members. Having coordinates on articles mean that they turn up in GoogleMaps, MultiMap and other such places which link to wikipedia based on geo-coordinates.
It is now possible to get lists of Cheshire articles that have no geographical coordinates via Wikipedia:CatScan, for example:
Alternatively, if CatScan is down or very slow, you can find them by looking through Category:United Kingdom articles missing geocoordinate data.
The articles in the lists above are currently marked with {{ coord missing}} templates, which need replacing with filled in {{ coord}} templates containing their latitude/longitude data (or else have lat&long entered into the infobox).
There are about 162 articles missing coords - I hope you'll consider adding coordinates so as to make Cheshire articles more visible on the web. thanks -- Tagishsimon (talk) 19:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
I have just noticed that today, another three blocks of changes have been proposed for (civil) parishes within the UK. They are Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 December 28#Subcategories of Category:Civil parishes in Cheshire, Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 December 28#Category:Parishes of the United Kingdom, and Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 December 28#Subcategories of Category:Category:Parishes of Wales.

For those who don't watch the portal talk page, I've just made a very belated update. Does anyone have any suggestions for news items for the portal? The ones currently highlighted there date from May last year.
It would be very helpful in future if people notifying the project about DYKs could include the final version of the hook with the notification. That way whoever updates the portal DYK section doesn't have to trawl through the DYK archives to find the hook. Thanks.
Also, I was trying to automate the portal before my wikibreak last year and have set up some subpages but have forgotten how to use them to automate -- if anyone is clued up in this area, help would be appreciated! Espresso Addict ( talk) 01:03, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
A recently created article on this grade II* listed property is currently at AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Castle Hotel, Halton. It would be useful to get a strong consensus on whether such buildings are sufficiently notable to deserve their own articles. Espresso Addict ( talk) 16:46, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to propose that the project work towards getting the Cheshire Portal featured in 2009. There's lots of work to be done, but I do think that it is now achievable. The featured portal North West England is a good model, though obviously we can't hope to have as much content!
There's a lot of cosmetic work needed, but the major content deficiency I perceive is the number and quality of the Cheshire biographies. A minimum of 15 items per section (it seems to have gone up since I last looked) is suggested, with a suggested target of 20. We currently have eight (1 FA, 3 GA, 4 B class) and I have just proposed another (GA). It would be ideal to improve at least some of the four B-class articles ( Adrian Boult, Lewis Carroll, John Douglas & Michael Owen) towards GA status. Lewis Carroll is perhaps the closest to GA currently; it failed one GA review in 2006 and there are numerous suggestions for improvement on the talk page. Michael Owen is also in fairly good shape, if there are any football fans who'd like to have a go?
We would also need to develop some more biographies to GA standard or at least a very solid B class. I propose to this end that we develop a list of biographies of reasonably major Cheshire-associated figures to work on. One suggestion might be Elizabeth Gaskell, currently Start class, but easy to source and improve. Espresso Addict ( talk) 15:04, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) I've been negligent of this project for a while - other admin-related matters that I'm now tiring of preoccupied me. I do think we may need to spend some time getting some settlement articles up to a higher standard as well. Given the project, I think Cheshire and Chester could be usefully improved. There is also the matter of the new administrative structure due to happen on 1 April, to consider: if we could spend some time improving the articles concerned with that, I think it would make a good item for the news section as well as one or more potential DYK items. DDStretch (talk) 15:53, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Because the talk page was getting way too long, I've moved about 150kb of old discussions to the archives. Nev1 ( talk) 20:58, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
