Removed the description of the M42 as the the Birmingham circular motorway. Funny circle. --JBellis 15:53, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] External link
I'm re-adding the link to Warwickshire online. The site does not require registration to brows, only to post and has an interesting gallery of Warwickshire images including Towns in flood, it also has a news feeder that brings up Warwickshire news from several sources. Therefore I feel it's relevant to the article and not spam. Madhatter1uk 18:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- It is wiki policy to avoid links to discussion forums. see Wikipedia:External links. 84.13.139.114 21:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
If a link is usefull and the site is more than a discussion forum, which this is then it shouldn't be removed. see Wikipedia:External links What should be linked to 4 Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews. The gallery is relevant. The fact that a site contains a discussion forum does not mean that it should automaticaly be removed. 80.42.175.20 03:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Not only that, Warwickshire Online provides an interactive map of the area, a large links database(Ironically something Wiki refuses to do) exclusively for warwickshire Web sites. An article section focusing on local organisations, and a news portal of Warwicksire Related News. This is FAR more then a forum.
[edit] WikiProject Warwickshire?
Just a quick suggestion to see if it is viable to send in a proposal for WikiProject Warwickshire. So, who'd be interested? - Erebus555 20:28, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'd be interested in that. Madhatter1uk 12:28, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I might also be up for that. AlexOUK 14:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'd also be interested. Nudges 03:00, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Ok have made a very basic start on this but there will be a lot of work to do to it. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Warwickshire Nudges 17:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciations
Four different pronunciations a bit over the top, IMHO. Removed ˈwɔːɹɪkˌʃə and ˈwɔːɹɪkˌʃɪə -- never heard either of these in my puff. -- Picapica 12:04, 7 July 2007 (UTC) (Warwickshire lad)
- Both ˈwɔːɹɪkˌʃə and ˈwɔːɹɪkˌʃɪə are given in the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary. LDHan 23:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Let’s get Warwickshire featured
The Article on Dorset has recently been featured. Come on Warwickshire folk. We’re proud of our county. Let’s see if we can get Warwickshire featured.Barbara Shack (talk) 12:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- Why not put your name for a WikiProject Warwickshire, what can start when it has five supporters? Snowman (talk) 21:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Red links
I ran a wiki tool to find red links in the pages in the Warwickshire category. It is possible that relevant pages have already been made with a different name. Pages with more than three red link are listed: Snowman (talk) 12:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
