Assessment Report

  1. Article needs to be massively expanded.
  2. It should make use of sections.
  3. Try to remove the list.
  4. References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. Make sure that as many as possible are "in-line" citations.(See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.)

[edit] Possible Merger?

I'm wondering just how useful this article is, as it seems mostly to be a list of settlements that were in the Hundred, and little else. It could be easily merged into Hundreds of Cheshire as it stands. What do people think of this suggestion?  DDStretch  (talk) 12:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Agree with merger proposal, as nothing significantly lengthy has been added for some time. Like you say, it's made up mostly of a list. Perhaps if/when this topic is significantly expanded it might warrant an article of its own. At the moment, this is the only Cheshire Hundred with such an article.

Yes. I became interested in writing about the Cheshire hundreds some time ago, and Hundreds of Cheshire is an article I started. I initially thought that an article dealing with each would be a good idea, but the more I read about them, the more I realised that the approach that you have described would be the better one. That is, start off with an article dealing with them all, and only if information about one comes extensive enough, split it off into a new article. We can put in place redirections for each hundred that will point to the overall article, so that any future split will be a relatively painless job. If we do this, I suggest that we use the new hundreds, as there is too much spelling variations in the names of the old (more numerous) Domesday Hundreds. Hundreds of Cheshire will be gradually expanded by myself over the next few weeks (I have long-term commitments to Diocese of Chester and Ancient parishes of Cheshire that will compete, in turn, for my limited editing time)  DDStretch  (talk) 13:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
