Edit war
It seems like an edit war is going on?

It is indeed - check out scu98rkr's talk page!

Another edit war between 24.90.237.107 and 86.146.233.61 appears to be in progress over which image of the Cathedral to use. Both look to be good images, so I am not sure why there is a disagreement. Suggest both parties discuss on this page their different viewpoints. Jschwa1 (talk) 12:18, 4 December 2008 (UTC) Hi,

I agree, I think both pictures are good. I like the light on the original photograph, however, I thought it was important to show a picture with all 3 spires as this is what makes the cathedral so special. I don't have any very strong objection to the original though, they are your photographs, I'll let you decide —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.237.107 (talk) 20:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Place-name meaning
This is disputed. --Sunfazer |Talk  14:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * In what way? 82.10.34.16 21:29, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The lastest history books on lichfield and mercia suggest that the place name has derived from lectocetum. I can get a reference if needed.

Are you deisputing that lectocetum is not grey wood in celtic ? I think its trying to suggest that the roman name lectocetum is in some way related to the local british dialet word for grey wood. Not that is actually is grey wood in some celtic langauage.

Is this what you are disputing ?

Waste Management
Suggest the page has an extra section about waste management and recycling in the city. Snowman 17:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

The theory that lichfield developed from meaning field of the dead has long been renounced. Although im sure it may has had some effect on the later spelling of the name. This theory is covered in other items of interest.

Welsh name
As this is the English language wikipedia and Lichfield is in England is this really appropriate?Njd.1892 13:59, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

It was known as Luitcoyt in Roman and Romarno British times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.51.32 (talk) 11:44, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

New housing development and Waitrose
The current text gives the impression that Waitrose has been built on the site of the old cricket ground. This is not correct. The Kensington Oval housing development is situated on this site. Waitrose is situated at the opposite end of the new development. I have not changed the text, however. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.199.93 (talk) 02:42, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Revision/updating of article
In recent weeks I've been trying to improve the style and grammar of the article; this is still a work in progress, but I think I've now addressed many of the specific concerns identified when the article was reviewed for GA status back in 2011.

The reviewer then also identified the need for additional source citations in some sections; can anyone, with better access to Lichfield-related sources than me, help with this?

There are also quite a few areas badly in need of updating: the sections on politics will have to be revised after the forthcoming elections, and some of the information in the sports section is clearly out of date. There may well be other sections requiring similar attention.

I love Lichfield, but am not a resident, and so it is difficult for me to do much more to the article. Are there any Lichfeldians (or others with good access to source material) who would be willing to pitch in and do some updating/revision? Chronarch (talk) 11:19, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

2021 census data
Someone please remind me to update all the 2011 census data to 2021 census data. Alternatively, do it yourself if you have time JjStrawb (talk) 23:29, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
