Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2007 January 22
January 22
This topic is not really addressed in the target article. This article existed for about 2 days in 2003 before the redirect was created. Based on comments on the talk page, the article was based on text from another source. There does not appear to be any article on wikipedia that would be reasonable target for this redirect. Clearly not a likely typo. Vegaswikian 07:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

User:Thesean43 has been moving around Celtic articles in an attempt to get Celtic to redirect to Celtic F.C.. This is a double redirect that has been created because of it. I suggest an admin go through it all and get back to where it was before. ... discospinster talk 20:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Woodhey is not in Cheshire. It used to be, but was placed, along with almost all of the Wirral Peninsula, into Mersyside in 1974. There is now no place called Woodhey in Cheshire. To maintain this redirection would be misleading and contrary to the the actual state of affairs that exists. DDStretch (talk) 23:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Some more information about this redirect and the article it originally redirected to: Woodhey might have been, a long time ago, a village of Cheshire, but it is now a suburb of the town of Bebington in Merseyside. It was correctly labelled as being in Wirral, which used to all be part of Cheshire. Wirral has not all been in Cheshire since 1974. At this time, most but not all of The Wirral was placed in the then new Metropolitan Borough of Merseyside. However, Woodhey then became incorrectly located in Cheshire by a combination of edits by someone who another claims is a campaigner for the return of traditional county boundaries, and a series of reversions of vandalism by people presumably not acquainted with the local geography of this part of England. Additionally, it was even categorized to be a town in Cheshire, which it has never been.
- Someone else then decided it would be helpful to add a redirect (the one needing deletion now) for anyone who entered "Woodhey, Cheshire" in the find box. This redirect may have been done in good faith, but it was done without knowledge of the unchecked nature of the edits and reversions that had led to the incorrect claim that Woodhey was in Cheshire. I am an active participant of the Cheshire WikiProject, and we are trying to provide users of wikipedia with as accurate a picture as possible of all aspects of Cheshire. I have already altered the main entry of Woodhey to a stub article that contains accurate information of its position and the county in which it is located. To keep the redirect would perpetuate misleading and inaccurate information, since Woodhey is not in Cheshire. DDStretch (talk) 00:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
