[edit] Change done by anonymous user

The revision made by 62.188.4.34. Changed "... form of a unitary authority, although not with the same borders as before ..." to "... form of a unitary authority, with the same borders as before ..." this is a complete 180 degree change but I know nothing about this area and do not know which one is factual.

I don't know. They seem to be doing excellent work on other articles. Morwen 18:06, Feb 20, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merger with History of Herefordshire

There's a proposal on History of Herefordshire that it should be merged with this article.
I'm against for reasons given on Talk:History of Herefordshire. --Cavrdg 18:50, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poly Tunnel?

There seems to be no Wikipedia entry on poly tunnel even though the article seems to assume that the reader will know about this strawberry growing technology. Is this perhaps a British term for something known by another name elsewhere? I'm American myself, so please be patient with my linguistic quirks. Wyvern 23:47, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Polytunnel does exist as a stub. Feel free to expand it ;-) I've added Poly tunnel as a redirect to Polytunnel and changed the article to link there. --Cavrdg 06:39, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Aha! Thank you; this clarifies things for non-rural North American types. (I think I've seen that, now that there's a hint.) Wyvern 06:19, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boroughs and Districts

What and where are the boroughs and districts in Herefordshire? Simply south 18:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Herefordshire has no boroughs or districts. It is a unitary district itself. David 18:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The SAS

There is no mention of the SAS here. Anyone else find this strange?

[edit] The Hereford Bull

I agree that no mention of the SAS is indeed odd, more so is the Hereford Breed of cattle - Hereford (Cattle). Whatever nationality of person I talk to, whenever the subject of Hereford is raised, it is a consistent topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.11.22 (talk) 02:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Education Section

I find a lot of this section to be subjective about which are good/bad schools, especially as it fails to mention that Hereford Cathedral is private —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.245.1 (talk) 20:46, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:EH icon.png

Image:EH icon.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Authority or district?

I'm a bit confused here. Is Herefordshire a 'Unitary authority' or a 'Unitary district'. Properly it means the same, but according this web page it is a Unitary authority, so maybe better change it to this? --Jeroenvrp (talk) 23:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
