[edit] Discussion about addition of Welsh names to articles about English settlements

Editors sometimes add the Welsh name for Chester to this article, usually in the lead. Since this matter has been raised on a number of different pages now, and is ongoing, I think it best to refer people to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements#Addition of Welsh names to English articles and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements#Addition of Welsh names to English articles (2) where the matter is being discussed for a number of articles (at least 4) about English settlements in which Welsh names have recently been added. Please go there and join in if you would like to contribute to the discussion and try to reach some kind of consensus about it.  DDStretch  (talk) 18:00, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

What about the walls of Derry/Londonderry. They are complete too, although of more recent origin than Cheater's —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chasnor15 (talk • contribs) 13:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Images

Lots of terrible images in this article at the moment. As an alternative, we can use the following free-to-use images from Flickr (they just need uploading to WikiCommons:

• Eastgate Clock (My favourite)
• Town Hall Spire
• Chester Main Street
• Chester Landmarks

Hope these help, --Jza84 |  Talk  14:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Good suggestions. I did attempt to contact the most prolific adder of the current images when they were added (User:Chestertouristcom) about them and the amount of unreferenced material that the person was adding to this and to other articles. I got no reply, either from a message on the articles' talk pages, the user's talk page, or even by email or the website that the user seemed to own (here).  DDStretch  (talk) 15:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

There's also Geograph.co.uk for "free" images (see here, for example). - Dudesleeper / Talk 15:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I removed some images with this edit. I didn't feel they were of a befitting quality. They can always be reintroduced should the text pad out. I'm hoping to remove the gallery asap. --Jza84 |  Talk  20:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm very happy with the removal of unsuitable images; there are still too many. Should we scrap the lot and begin again? (I've just added a new section on Landmarks and tourist attractions.) Peter I. Vardy (talk) 09:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The image that's used under Governance showing Cheshire - this has the new proposed boundaries, rather than the current ones. Replace? Salinae (talk) 20:02, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
