May I suggest that anyone wanting to know even more about Liverpool, Britain's most interesting city, should look at www.seeliverpool.com which has 40 pages of information for the prospective visitor. Mike
Personal Opinion - One of the finest cities in England. TwoOneTwo
Moved here in the interests of a) neutrality and b) inaccuracy - everyone knows that honour falls to Plymouth :-) sjc
Who got the idea that Liverpool's underground system only has one line? It's got the Northern Line (Southport - Moorfields - Central - Hunts Cross) and the Wirral Line (Chester/Ellesmere Port/West Kirby - Birkenhead - James St - Moorfields - Lime St - Central - James St loop and back out)!

Is it worthwhile mentioning the political problems which have beset Liverpoool, perhaps mentioning its erstwhile deputy mayor Derek Hatton?
Not sure! David Martland 09:56, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- I think it's worth mentioning briefly as a lead onto to anotther article, but shouldn't fill up this page, Mintguy (T)

I was under the impression that the conection had been atested to by a nephew and some documents, when found when they moved the registry office?--Jirate 21:39, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
It doesn't look like the story has been proven, having looked it up. So it's probably best not to claim it is a fact. G-Man 21:43, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Districts of Liverpool
Is it better to arrange the tables like this?
Layout
Hi the reason I'm changing the layout is that on my system atleast the image runs into the data table which is puched to the left, which bumps into the toc.--Jirate 23:36, 2004 Nov 25 (UTC)
Moved discussion from Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Liverpool
- Partial self-nom, I dont know about everyone else but I think this article is pretty good. G-Man 22:06, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Object. This is an interesting article but needs more work in integrating the various comments that have been set out as single sentence paragraphs. The coat of arms of the city should be featured as should the dialect. The list of liverpudlians is too long and should be an article on its own. In fact, there are too many lists. Some of the writing needs attention, for example: "...until Liverpool has now become second only to the metropolis of Great Britain: " Tiles 23:45, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Object. Needs more work. See for example Birmingham which would be a better candidate. — Trilobite (Talk) 02:10, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Object. It's as good as Sarajevo, which is the featured article standard for cities. Also, the list of people from Liverpool should be moved to a separate article, and the media section should be expanded—two-line sections are not suffient for a featured article. The education section is also too short and discusses only colleges and universities, with no mention of primary or secondary education in Liverpool. Also, there's no "economy" section and no real geography or climate section. It's not a bad article–it's actually quite good–but it's not feature-quality yet. I think that soon it will be, though.

- Well, I don't support. IMO Liverpool should be a disambig page, as we have an extremely important council in Australia called Liverpool council. Our Federal opposition leader in Australia used to be mayor of the local council and so we have intense media scrutiny on this place every time Mark Latham's past history comes up. When Aussies come along to look for info on it on Wikipedia, they see Liverpool in England. Hardly encourages those users to stay on the site. - Ta bu shi da yu 06:22, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- There is a prominent link to the disambiguation page at the top, although if the place is important it could have its own link at the top rather than having to go through the disambig page. G-Man 21:38, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the recomendations, I'll put this on the Liverpool talk page and see if things can be improved. G-Man 21:47, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- On the list front, I changed the areas to a table to reduce wastage. The same may be true for the personalities. I think making it a disambig would be sensible, are there any tools to help sort out links.Provide of course Brum and the smoke follow suit.--Jirate 22:24, 2004 Dec 30 (UTC)
I put in a direct link to the Australian Liverpool so a disambig is probably unnecesary now. G-Man 23:14, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
REMOVED LINK
I was wondering why a link to my site was removed from the Liverpool Page.
www.liverpool-skyline.co.uk
*Liverpool SkylineDVD (http://www.liverpool-skyline.co.uk/)
Sure it linked to my homepage with images(given away free) and video clips (given away free)
You shouldn't be linking your own site in the first place, see Wikipedia:External links. --W(t) 00:55, 2005 Jun 1 (UTC)
BUT IT IS OK FOR A FRIEND TO CREATE A LINK ???
