I have changed the phonetic pronunciation from 'wustashur' and 'wustasheer' to the examples shown, as I feel they are more clear.
Not certain where to put this comment, but here seems reasonable as I'm primarily thinking of Worcestershire: there's an inconsistency with the "List of places in X" articles as to whether they refer to the ceremonial county or the modern administrative one. For example, Stourbridge is included in the list of places in Worcestershire, and Telford in the list of places in Shropshire - but Wolverhampton is not included in the list of places in Staffordshire, which historically it is part of. Which is right? Loganberry 00:34, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

"The north such as Kidderminster, Bromsgrove and Redditch consists of a Brummie twang"
As someone who has lived in Bromsgrove for most of his life this doesn't seem quite right, Redditch and Kidderminster it seems fairly accurate for but not Bromsgrove. I'm not sure how you'd describe the Bromsgrove accent, but I most certainly wouldn't describe as being like the Brummie accent.
Where is it being detailed? [1] Anchoress 23:14, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
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.

Is the school performance table appropriate here? It relates to a single year and no information is given about the current data. Chaz6 ( talk) 13:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
The first part is unstartling, but the second is completely unmentioned in the West Midlands County Council article, so if it's to stay here it needs a solid reference. Loganberry ( Talk) 01:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
I have split this into sections (according to Wiki recommendations) for easier reading and editing. However, although all the points are important and relevant, the article needs rewriting with all the historical sequence being put into as near chronological order as possible in their relative sections. At present, it darts back and forth and is not very easy to follow. -- Kudpung ( talk) 02:33, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
The the mammoth article on radio completely dominates the Worcs article, is long without any subsections, contains far too much detail for a single subject for a county article, probably 99% of it belongs either in an article of its own or as a sub-page of radio in Britain or something similar.-- Kudpung ( talk) 02:33, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Several English counties have started projects in order to clean up and apply a code of standards for all the stubs and articles about the cities, towns, and villages in their county, (and in our case within the category Villages in Worcestershire), and to invite more contributors to complete the infoboxes, extend the information, and add formal references and images.
According to Wiki guidelines, before a proposal for the creation of a WikiProject is made, the proposing editor should gather a minimum of 5 registered Wiki users who are in favour of the idea. You only need to be in favour - you do not need to be an active Wiki editor/contributor.

Now that all the settlement articles have been rated and put on 'to do' lists on the project page, probably a serious look at this Worcestershire page is now required because it really ought to be the project's flagship article. Apart for a great many minor edits, there has been a full two-year hiatus until Gyro and one or two others started taking an interest in it in April. Most of the information is in the article, but it needs a massive restructuring and prose rewrite, and has no formal references or sources. There iprobably won't be any objections from previous contributors as Gyro and Iccaldwell were the only editors to respond to to the dozens of editors who were contacted. Maybe a good starting point would be to organise the available material around the schema Giro made on his user page for the malvern article, and then clean up section by section. It might be an idea to archive this talk page to start here (but this action needs a consensus). -- Kudpung ( talk) 05:58, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
I have reverted the placing of an icon issues banner by User talk:86.42.78.36. After referring back to MOS I have been unable to identify any specific problems with the icons on the page. I have asked the editor to provide further details. Apologies all round if I may have acted in error. -- Kudpung ( talk) 08:20, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

The ultimate aim should be to get this article to Featured status, and so it's a good idea to look at other Featured Articles to see how they deal with such sections. Places of interest is a bit touristy and could be replaced with a more neutral title such as landmarks. On appearances, Somerset (FA) seems to have merged the section with culture. The key and icons are used in several (usually under-developed) articles, however Greater Manchester (FA) does not. It seems the best way to approach a landmarks section is in the form of prose and without the icons. The icons provide a little more info for a bare list, but once the section is expanded, they become superfluous. Nev1 ( talk) 19:00, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
Currently the article says "Malvern is the home of the Malvern Fringe Festival, one of the oldest festivals of its kind in the world". The reference is to Wikipedia's own article on fringe festivals, and unfortunately doesn't count as a reliable source. Does anyone have something better to back up the claim?

Hi
Just to let you know that I (with contributions from others) have been working on an article known as Evolution of Worcestershire County Boundaries, which could help clear up the 'Local Government' section on the Worcestershire page. Maybe some parts of the Worcestershire page dealing with historical boundary changes to the Local Government structures can be deleted in favour of a brief overview and concentration on the present local government structures of the county.
This page is already linked from the Worcestershire page.

I find it odd that Worcestershire Sauce is only mentioned toward the end of the page. The sauce is the only reason most people have heard of this place. 74.58.46.152 ( talk) 13:18, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

I think the weakest section of this page is the history section. I have been expanding History of Worcestershire so some of that could move here. However I am not sure what the best balance between the two is. I think the Wikipedia advice is that the 'lead' section should be the basis of the crossover? Some time to think, as the history page is not yet complete. Jim Killock (talk) 07:42, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
