Talk:Uttoxeter

Crime
I'm unsure of how the references to the two murders that occurred over the span of 25+ years in the Uttoxeter area really adds anything useful and worthwhile to this article. It's not any indication of the crime rate or the nature of the area to list two random acts of violence that received some media attention. For this reason I removed it. Should anyone disagree, please feel free to revert, but be so kind as to add your explanation for doing so here. --Elysianfields (talk) 07:30, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Name
I would be grateful for any information about primary sources for the name, learned opinions on etymology and sources for the notion that a personal name /witok/, /wutuk/, /wotok/ or similar is involved. I appreciate that wikipedia is not the place for publishing original research but that is exactly what I am engaged in and will publish elsewhere.

I'm attempting to finish an evaluation of possible etymologies in terms of British compounds featuring standard elements that are relevant to the place, and which can be meaningfully linked to the various phonetic realisations that we see in the many written forms and in the two currently attested phonetic realities which are not obviously from quite the same source.CecilWard (talk) 04:04, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Town twinning
The article states that Uttoxeter was twinned with... Does this mean it is no longer twinned with these towns. If not, why was the twinning arrangement terminated? If the twinning arrangement is continuing this should be rephrased is twinned with... Skinsmoke (talk) 03:27, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The arrangement is continuing and I've rephrased as suggested Doctor Girl (talk) 16:59, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Developments
I've removed the section about the controversy over Tesco, partly because I couldn't find any sources (and I really did try) and partly because I don't think there is controversy any more; the town has got used to the new development. But feel free to revert and update if you disagree (and can find suitable sources - good luck with that!) Doctor Girl (talk) 17:54, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
