Talk:List of places in Lincolnshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Questions of the day
- How large does a town, village, hamlet have to be in order to be featured?
- Well if it has a name, its a place, so put it in the list. As long as I can find it on multimap, then its ok. Look at 'Kates Bridge', it didnt exist 5 years ago. (well actually it did, it was a forgotten place name), and its only 2 houses and a petrol station ,and a very small bridge over a narrow bit of the source of the River Glen. The whole thing barely covers 150 yards by 150 yards.

- I'd say that if it appears on the 1:200,000 map on Multimap, it should appear. Looking at the 1:200,000 map centered on Louth I don't think it would be far wrong to have an article for everywhere that appears on there. IMHO, there'd be only four or five places that wouldn't need an article (e.g. South Somercotes Fen Houses). In addition, where there's one village but separate parishes, only one entry is needed (e.g. Saltfleetby). Dupont Circle 15:59, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- How many towns/villages/assorted other are there in Lincolnshire?
- God only knows.......or maybe Lincolnshire County Council. I certainly don't :-P

- Have you seen http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/parishes.html Dupont Circle 15:59, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Yes, but it no good for our purposes. Thats a list as at 1830, and just glancing at the A's i see 'Antons Gowt' isnt there. Lincolnshire Poacher 20:15, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] sigh........=
Don't know what happened here, I'd done all the A's and B's. I leave the page for 6 months and either some pages dissappear or someones been adding names.............

[edit] BRACKENHAM?!!!!!
where the hell is brackenham? Ive lived here 50 years and I've never seen it in Lincolnshire, and Streetmap or Multimap dont list it. On the other hand the County Council webby lists it, but doesnt give any clues where it is!!!
(goes into old fart mode) I wish people would stop adding villages to this county without asking me first..............

[edit] Entry standards
When I created this list, and started creating the pages for every village, i adpoted the standard format:
External links
Brant Broughton is located at cor dms|53|04|32|N|00|38|35|W|}}1.
gbmaping|SK910540
htp://www.multimap.com/map/..... Location map of Brant Broughton]
htp://www.multimap.com/map/...... Arial view of Brant Broughton]
htp://groups.msn.com/EnglishChurchPhotographs...... Brant Broughton St Helen's Church]
for the end. I see someone has been going through deleting all this and replacing it with this form:
cor gbx|52.7686_N_-0.3785_E in double curly brackets
This is inferior in all respects. It is less information and requires the user to do more work to obtai nthe same information as the previous form. I will revert all pages to the original form, but it will be a lot of work. Please do not make such a major alteration to page formats in future without discussing it here first.
(note errors are deliberate to ensure source code shows)

[edit] A certain town missed out...
Despite including my home village (Huttoft, which is a tiny place!) the list does not appear to include the much larger town (or village, me and my Dad are always arguing over what it is) of Sutton-On-Sea. Of course it must be a silly mistake, as due to the size and attractions, there seems to be more point in Sutton-On-Sea being on the list than Huttoft! So I have just added the town to the list, if it's ok with everyone else? --Ronius 11:59, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
