Talk:Wootton Bridge/Archive 1

Proposed merge of Wootton, Isle of Wight into Wootton Bridge
This seems pretty obvious but I thought it might be worth discussing.

Wootton is the common name, and Wootton Bridge is the formal name, but there is nothing in either article that could not sensibly appear in the other. As Wootton Bridge is a unique name, and there are quite a few other Woottons elsewhere, Wootton Bridge seems the sensible choice to be the main article, and a redirect can remain at Wootton, Isle of Wight.

Which churchyard?
"Victorian admiral Sir John Baird, who died in 1908, is buried in the churchyard in Wootton Bridge." The article mentions two churches in the parish. It does not mention the Methodist church. It should be made clear which of these houses the admiral. TheMadBaron (talk) 02:34, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Move from Wootton Bridge to Wootton, Isle of Wight
The article was moved without discussion to Wootton, Isle of Wight. I'm fairly sure that this should at least have had a discussion and maybe a vote, because it's certainly something that has caused contention in the past. Naturenet | Talk 11:12, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
