Places of worship
There are at least three articles on places of worship in Swindon, so instead of adding those links to the 'See also' section, where supposedly churches are not to be listed, there is now a places of worship subsection under Demography - the only section that mentions denominations and faiths in the article. Pjposullivan (talk) 03:48, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * That's a useful addition to the article. If you like, you could make a whole new section 'Religious sites' as suggested in How to write about UK settlements.  Wire723 (talk) 19:24, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Christ church, Bath Road Methodist Church and Holy Rood School are just a few holy places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.0.114 (talk) 16:47, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Photo request
I received this request recently (which I am unable to fulfill) for a picture of the UK Space Agency HQ on North Star Avenue. Does anyone who contributes to/watches this page a) live in Swindon b) feel able to take the picture and upload it to Commons? If so, can you let User:WhisperToMe know? Thanks, Moonraker12 (talk) 12:12, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

The West Country Challenge
Would you like to win up to £250 in Amazon vouchers for participating in The West Country Challenge?

The The West Country Challenge will take place from 8 to 28 August 2016. The idea is to create and improve articles about Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, like this one.

The format will be based on Wales's successful Awaken the Dragon which saw over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.

Work on any of the items at: or other articles relating to the area.
 * Core articles
 * Missing article hotlist
 * Missing photograph hotlist

There will be sub contests focusing on particular areas:
 * Bristol (Day 1-3)
 * Cornwall and Scilly (Day 4-6)
 * Devon (Day 7-9)
 * Dorset (Day 10-12)
 * Gloucestershire (Day 13-15)
 * Somerset (Day 16-18)
 * Wiltshire (Day 19-21)

To sign up or get more information visit the contest pages at WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge.&mdash; Rod talk 15:53, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Civil Parishes
As of April 1st, new civil parishes have been created which cover the entire borough. This article, and others, will need tweaking accordingly.--Nilfanion (talk) 00:44, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this useful information. I dealt with one of the changes by updating Nythe. Wire723 (talk) 16:55, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Why has the whole borough been parished?--2.26.154.4 (talk) 16:38, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

GOOD PLACE
Good place to live because it is very accessible. There are lots of schools and of course the Great Western Hospital. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.182.231 (talk) 20:03, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
