Walsall, would have looked a lot better if all those aold buildings around the place had not been mowed down in the seventies.
the problem in Walsall, is that the destruction of old buildings, [mainly pubs] is still going on.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chopdat ( talk • contribs) 17:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
RE: I agree that Walsall had much more charm before most of the old buildings were torn down and replaced by what is coined the 'Brutalist' style of architecture in the 1960's and 70's. This shows just how important it is for us living now to record (photograph) as much as possible about the town for others to learn from after all the old buildings have been 'mowed' down.-- Cloudmachine 13:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Cheslyn Hay is not part of the town of Walsall. It isn't within the Walsall Urban sub-area, and isn't within the larger Walsall Metropolitan Borough.
The history section contains much which seems to be personal opinion. Espechially regarding the redevelopment of Walsall town centre, and the impact of new supermarkets on the historic market. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpb1301 ( talk • contribs) 00:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
The redevelopement of Walsall town centre is used as a study of poor 70's town planning. The current "experts" are also coming up with some weird ideas. Demolishing award winning buildings to build what looks like the set from Logan's run. The market is also in discussion with the coucil planning on moving it to a smaller out of the way location and making it German/French rather than a place you can actually shop.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnthnparkes ( talk • contribs) 11:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Although the names of the neighbourhoods are correct, highgate, for example misleadingly links to a district of london. please fix!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.92.188.63 ( talk) 22:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
To tell you the Truth Highate is a real neighbourhood because I live just a road away from it!— Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.240.86.9 ( talk) 22:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
This article is about the town, not about the larger Metropolitan Borough of Walsall and should be treated as such. Fingerpuppet 21:49, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Where are half of the suburbs of Walsall? I mean Blakenall is missing for instance. I can understand people leaving out areas like Darlo that ay really Walsall, but surely areas like Blakenall count? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon B 7 ( talk • contribs) 17:17, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
This entire article needs to be seriously revised! There are a few well written parts and some sources have been quoted, namely in the section entitled "Arboretum and Illuminations", but in the majority of other parts, the spelling/grammar is awful. The section on "History" especially needs to be revised, as most of it is opinion-based and irrelevant information needs to be removed, for instance details about which supermarket is going to move where, etc. The whole point of Wikipedia is to give the (unbiased) facts about the subjects of the articles, if you have an opinion, the best place to discuss it is in the 'discussion' page and not the main article page (thanks to those who have used it). Another point is that the layout needs to be changed, as if you look at the article on the town Walsall is twinned with (Mulhouse in France), it has a column on the right-hand side of the page, summarising all the information about the town and, as a suggestion, the same should be done with this article. 144.173.6.66 16:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I believe people visiting the page would like to see a few photographs showing Walsall's main 'attractions', key buildings, mentioned areas etc.
Can the recently submitted 'blue' photograph of Walsall market be replaced very soon for a higher res file. It really brings down the quality of the page.-- Cloudmachine 13:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
What areas, exactly, need cleanup?? -- Flexwick32 09:01, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I would like to bring this article to featured article status, and all help is appreciated. On this talk page we need to list what needs to be done to the article, and tick it off with a {{ done}} template when it's done.
Create a wikitable in the commented section below, and list the problems and a "done" column with date when article has had work done to it, per any criticisms etc.
All help appreciated! Thanks, -- SunStar Net talk 09:13, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

From 1889 until the implementation, in 1974, of the Local Government Act of 1972 Walsall was a County Borough and therefore not, administratively, part of Staffordshire.

This article states that he was born in Walsall, yet on Hartford's Wikipage it states that he was born in Sutton Coldfield. A reliable reference needs to be found to settle his real p.o.b. Norum
The soundfile seems screwed up, can someone record it again properly? Beckett ( talk) 10:19, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
I suspect a rephrase may be needed for the statement that "in the late 19th century the coal mines ran dry". Does this mean the coal mines ceased to hold water or that they closed down after exhausting coal seams? Cloptonson ( talk) 21:25, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
