Talk:History of Coventry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] 20th vs. twentieth century

I've restored the heading "20th century" because a number of articles and redirects (possibly including some from other Wikimedia projects) point to this section of the article with this specific title. (I suspect this is largely because of the inexplicable absence of an article on the Coventry bombing in WWII, forcing any links to it to go to this section.) I urge editors not to change this blithely. If there is a consensus or a policy reason to use "twentieth century" instead of "20th century", all section links should be fixed along with the change. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:06, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] To merge on not

Is there a wiki convention about combining the history of a City with the City page? Snowman 16:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] long article

The Coventry Page is already a long article - more than 36 kbites. I think that we should be thinking about splitting it rather then merging. The history sections could all go on the history of Coventry page. Snowman 12:50, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

• Shame they don't agree on a few points, but without proper citations, it's difficult to know which is right. Also the history section on the city page is much longer than this page.Terri G 16:34, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I've merged much of the excess material from the coventry page to here and left a summary on the main Coventry article. Some of the stuff needed NPOVing, so has been altered slightly. I left out a few things cause I couldn't decide where to put them. I hope that it's an improvement. G-Man * 16:43, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
