Separate articles?

[edit]
From User talk:RHaworth

By re-directing the Great Chishill page [from Great Chishill (County High Point)], don’t you think this will make it confusing when some one eventually gets round to writing an article about Great Chiswell, the Village. The Article that I created is not about the village but about the highest point in the county of Cambridge which happens to be very close to the settlement.

  • I make it 800 metres from the parish church to the highest point. When someone gets the round tuit, the village info can simply be added to the existing article. We do not need separate articles. I was brought up in Westmorland - viewed from there, Cambidgeshire is flat - it don't have an highest point worth mentioning. Note that some of the other low points in List of English counties by highest point are villages: Allestree and Mapperley for example. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 22:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed I have a policy (that no one else seems to have taken up) that rural parishes should only have one article so, on that basis, the article should be moved to Great and Little Chishill! -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 22:39, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Once again I’m afraid I strongly disagree with you. The highest point of any given English county is just the sort of thing that is looked up by people in an encyclopaedia. Even if it is a county deprived of height. This particular high point may be in the parish but it is to the east of the village and as such is not part of that village. I think that the distinction should be made between the high point and the village. Visitors to Wikipedia may well just want to Know about the high point and its vital statistics however insignificant they may be! And may have no interest in the near-by village. Why should the county of Cambridgeshire be deprived of such an article.Stavros1 (talk) 18:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no precedent for a specific 'high point' article in the List of English counties by highest point. Now if there was actually a physical monument there, that might be a different matter! I will offer you this: I shall drop my objections if you can find just one other editor to agree with you - try Mark J for example. But please note that neither 'county', 'high' nor 'point' should be capitalised. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 18:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is no need for Cambridgeshire to be "deprived of" anything. I just don't see the need for a separate article. The info. has been in Cambridgeshire for three years anyway. But feel free to go ahead and create lots of redirects from sensible titles such as Highest point of Cambridgeshire. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 02:22, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Surley this page should be retitled Great Chishill (County High Point) as it redirects from the list of high points, the village has its own article Great and Little Chishill. Palmiped (talk) 13:45, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you capitalising 'County High Point'? Have you checked the content of Great and Little Chishill? -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:05, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Tend to agree with Stavros1 and Palmiped on this one. These type of articles makes Wikipedia such an interesting place to visit. Northmetpit (talk) 12:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
