Too much pointless information
Far too much information and statistics here, all the guff about population needs removing. 146.199.238.29 (talk) 17:43, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
- @146.199.238.29 I've removed all the pointless statistics about population as it adds nothing pertinent. 87.114.59.56 (talk) 17:56, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
Requested move 18 December 2024
Stainton, Westmorland and Furness → Stainton (near Sedgwick) – Ambiguous with Stainton, Dacre. This article was created by me on 10 June 2010 as Stainton, Sedgwick and moved to Stainton, South Lakeland "Because there are lots of places called Sedgwick" which probably isn't a good reason as there don't appear to be any other Staintons in or even near Sedgwicks however I probably thought that Stainton with Adgarley wasn't just "Stainton" but actually it might be. It was then moved to Stainton, south Cumbria by User:Chocolateediter last year because South Lakeland was abolished and was moved to the current title today by User:Hey man im josh, see User talk:Hey man im josh#Stainton. Other than the title proposed in the RM and the title used until today there is Stainton (near Kendal) which might well be better due to being larger and the fact that A-Z uses (near Kendal) as a disambiguator in the index.

- Stainton, Darce can be Stainton on Eamont or Stainton near Penrith.
- This Stainton can be Stainton in Kendal since Kendal is actually Kirkby in Kendal.
- I'd like postcodes Stainton, LA8 would be nice and short but thats a guideline change and would be wholesale conversation with many users.
- It can revert the Stainton, south Cumbria; I think some user might want to move on from Cumbria after the county council was abolished but it will return as a combined authority and something something ceremonial county, etc. Chocolateediter (talk) 20:45, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- You're move was fine, the move the the current district wasn't due to the ambiguity. I think if there is no consensus the move made 10 days ago will get reverted. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:57, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

- Move to Stainton (near Kendal), as per nom there are three "Stainton"s in Westmorland and Furness (the "with Adgarley" is sometimes cut-off for the other one)[1], multiple Sedgwicks (unless we go "(near Sedgwick, Cumbria/Westmorland and Furness)"?) for clarity, South Lakeland no longer exists, however Kendal (as primary) is more identifiable. Although "south Cumbria" is okay, it still exists somewhat, but if the "with Adgarley" is sometimes cut-off and also in "south Cumbria" then maybe "southeast Cumbria"? But using Kendal seems simpler.

Chapel no longer in use - but why?
The chapel, which was "erected in 1698" is no longer used for religious reasons. Or should that read . . . for religious purposes? Ref no longer works so it's hard to determine from afar. Geopersona (talk) 13:03, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
