Diana

edit

I'll be making an edit to this within the next few days, as Diana was NOT born in Sandringham house, as it appears to say. She was in fact born in Park House? (Think that's what it is called) Paul Norfolk Dumpling 08:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Mary Magdalene Church request

edit

Could someone knowledgable create an article on St. Mary Magdalene Church. It should be considered notable enough because it is the Royal Family's church of worship in December and January, and the Christmas Day service they attend every year. There is a short article on Crathie Kirk, the Queen's church at her summer retreat, Balmoral. There should be a short article on her church of worship at her winter retreat as well. There's already a beautiful photo of the church on the Sandringham article. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.127.200 (talk) 14:51, 26 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pronunciation

edit

Is it /ˈsændɹɪŋəm/ or /ˈsɑːndɹɪŋəm/? It goes without saying that I am not asking about people who wouldn't put the /ɑː/ in "Sanders" or "Sandra" as they would use /æ/ in all such words. Correctrix (talk) 07:49, 22 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Eastwards or westwards?

edit

"The civil parish extends eastwards from Sandringham village to the shore of the Wash some 6 km (3.7 mi) distant". Is this quote from the article correct? It is adjacent to the map of this part of Norfolk which seems to infer the opposite. Regards --Oldontarian (talk) 08:17, 5 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 30 January 2020

edit
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. There is consensus against the original proposal of making Sandringham, Norfolk the primary topic, and no consensus either way on the question of making Sandringham be a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to Sandringham House. If participants wish to pursue that proposal, I suggest they start a new RM for it over at Talk:Sandringham.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:20, 7 February 2020 (UTC)Reply



– Primary topic, this Sandringham got 13,079 views compared with 1,073 for the Victoria one, 217 for the NZ one, 164 for the NSW one, 134 for the Gauteng one, 36 for the Newfoundland and Labrador one, and 21 for the Queensland one. This means that the Norfolk one gets over 7x the views of the others combined and while that in its self would not IMO be enough for a primary topic Sandringham House which is in the Norfolk one (see WP:DABCONCEPT) got 97,820 views [[1]]. All of the others that give the origin of the name give it to the Norfolk one and its likely that all of the others are derived from this one. Google and Images only appear to show results for this one but that's probably because of my location. The house is the private home of Elizabeth II. Also note that the house article is a featured article and is ranked high importance for WikiProject United Kingdom, England and British Royalty. Its also top importance on WikiProject East Anglia.

  • Oppose, strongly No indication of a clear primary topic here. Moreover, no indication that the Sandringham in Norfolk, England, is even the primary topic of the Sandringhams. We are losing dab pages to relegated titles with a parenthetical qualifier, where serendipitous discovery will simply not occur. It is unreasonable to expect that we can gaze into a crystal ball and determine the reader's intention. As an aside, I also believe that, with the exception of companies and people, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is our most asinine content policy that serves no functional purpose. WP:RECENTISM is also applicable here, given the interest in Megxit and the Royal conclave in the Sandringham in England. At minimum, let's revisit this in a year when the pageviews won't be skewed beyond belief. --Doug Mehus T·C 21:23, 30 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose, I think 10x the other topics combined is the standard for WP:PRIMARYTOPICs, so we're not quite there.--Ortizesp (talk) 02:18, 31 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Ortizesp: that is not the standard. The standard is "much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:26, 31 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
