[edit] Other Newcastles

An anonymous contributor has added near the beginning of the article a short list of other Newcastle's. Such a list is potentially enormous, do we really want it? I am moving it to the end of the article. NoelWalley 11:53, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

One of these cities is in Japan. Having now looked at the Japanese city's own English Version website, things are slightly clearer. The contributor needs to elaborate considerably on what has or is happening here. NoelWalley 12:09, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikilinks

I hope it can be agreed that it is important that all new links should be tested (show preview - and then take the link - if in any doubt that it leads to a relevant article). With place names in particular red links indicating a lack of article can easily be activated later by a new article relating to a different place. In this article, links to Clayton, Butterton, Madeley, Chesterton and Silverdale all pointed to the wrong place. Articles for the local Clayton, Butterton, Knutton, Westlands, Cross Heath, and Porthill do not exist - no doubt if and when they are written the writers will add links. Generally speaking only the first mention of a place should be linked. Generally speaking 20th and 21st century years are not now linked. NoelWalley 12:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
