Removed Stanford Hall as it's in Leicestershire!--JBellis 17:42, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure whether this is the right place to mention it (apologies if not), but the article reads "Corby is said to be the largest town in England without a railway station." Corby's population (2002 est.) is 53,741. The town of Gosport on the south coast has a population of 77,092 (2002 est.) and also does not have a railway station. Whilst I cannot confirm that Gosport is the largest such town (although the claim is made locally), Corby is certainly not the largest and this sentence should probably be removed from this article. Hope this is helpful. Regards, S Latham.
I've found a few snippets which may be of interest:
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.

This article is Top Priority. It has been written in good faith, but has been tagged for several issues. This is in no way intended as a criticism, and should be regarded as flagging of areas that need urgent attention. The issues stem from the many different contributions and styles of writing, layout, and format. A partial clean up has been made to demonstrate the extent of work still needed to be done to make this the Northamptonshire Project flagship article, but a thorough copyedit is required. Issues include, but are not limited to:
This article is a hugely collaborative effort. Several regular contributors whose hard work is greatly appreciated, may not be fully applying the Manual of Style or may not have mastered the editing tools, or undertstood the importance of making edit summaries. Northamptonshire Wikipedians may also be able to help improve this article or provide advice on editing. --Kudpung (talk) 22:37, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've reinstalled the list of colleges because: I think there is no harm in a county article listing them in the education section; there aren't many; colleges are de facto notable so they could/should have their own articles; the red links might inspire someone - me? ;) to write the articles.--Kudpung (talk) 15:26, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm interested in what others think about the inclusion of Alan Titchmarsh's 'Pancreas of England'. I guess it should appear in the Geography section if anywhere, and definitely be referenced. My opinion is that it should not be in the lead, which gives it undue prominence; Titchmarsh is a television presenter, not a geographer or historian. At the moment the article says Northants has been likened to a pancreas "most notably" by Titchmarsh, but Googling has produced no other mentions of it...

In the list of town populations, borough/district populations were being used. This made the towns artificially large - Daventry, for instance, trebled in size as it took in Weedon, Long Buckby, Brixworth, Moulton, and all of the other large villages in its district. I've therefore amended the figures to the town populations as per the underlying articles, all as at the 2001 census. Matthew (talk) 23:46, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The flag shown on this article seems to be completely fictitious. I have never seen on in real life and there is no evidence of a flag like this anywhere online. Does anyone have any evidence for its existence? I know Northamptonshire County Council use a green and white flag with white and red roses, based on their coat of arms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.81.199.40 (talk) 16:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The town of Market Harborough has never, in its entire history, been in the county of Northamptonshire. It was stated on the page that Market Harborough was once in the historic county of Northamptonshire (in the same way that the Soke of Peterborough once was), but this has never been so. It was also stated without a citation, and the fact that this was approved shows laziness and sloppyness on the part of the page editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.18.176.10720:20, 13 April 2024 (talk)
