[edit] Questions

• Corsham is not listed in the List of towns in England. Is there a source for the claim to be a town?. -- Chris j wood 11:14, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Yes - here (scroll down to the first paragraph of thumbnail history - 'Corsham is a small town in a...'). It's... Thelb4! 18:35, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] To do

I have added a new to do list (at the top). I invite you to claim items that you want to spend some time on, and be bold in adding new material to the article. Click this watch link to watch the to do list. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:23, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

This infobox {{Infobox England place}} looks the most appropriate. Lets fill it out, then paste it into the article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Could we have the photograph in the infobox, and the location map as a separate illustration further down the article? I think the photo is a more striking and interesting way to start the article? --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Done. All we need now is the population. Thanks for lending your expertise, Steinsky. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 12:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Got the population, and posted the infobox. Thanks again! --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article quality

Now we have the infobox and an overview of the key features of the district, I think this is a B-Class article. I have changed the box above - but is it right for me to tag it myself (I did a little of the work) or is there a place to ask an outside editor to review and tag it?

A few more to the 'to do' list attempted, and it could go for Good Article review. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 13:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from Corsham Railway Cutting

That article consists of one sentence and some links. I think both articles will benefit from moving the material here. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Corsham Railway Cutting is part of a systematic listing of all Sites of Special Scientific Interest, and is I think best left alone. Rwendland 23:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
