Talk:Wolverhampton

List of Freemen of the City section

I draw attention that earlier this year Lisa Potts was made a first honorary Freewoman of Wolverhampton. I picked this up in a news story cited in her wiki article which retrospectively referred to the honour without giving a more precise date, but I am sure others (particularly those more local to Wolverhampton than myself) could find out and add with due citation.Cloptonson (talk) 18:56, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

So the article is being given a European City style treatment of KM instead of miles treatment and Manchester keeps being added despite not being anywhere near the city of Wolverhampton. By an anon and @Oliverclaytonfoster Yet this isn't reflected on other city articles but on Wolverhampton alone? This doesn't appear to be compatible with UK standard articles compared to say USA etc articles. As we use miles in the UK whereas USA use KMs. @Crouch, Swale, @Rupples @DankJae @G-13114, @Eopsid thoughts? DragonofBatley (talk) 09:47, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

@DragonofBatley, per WP:UNITS and the use by WP:UKCITIES it should indeed be miles (kilometres), so those changes should be reverted. UNITS states that these types of articles have an imperial preference for distance/​length, speed and fuel consumption only, so miles, miles per hour, and miles per imperial gallon. UKCITIES state it should be followed by metric in parenthesis in {{Convert}}.

So miles first for distances except very short distances, where metres are used. Metres are to be used for height first, so the building list for example needs reversing, as used at List of tallest buildings in the United Kingdom.

I don't consider Manchester really relevant personally, surely distance to London the capital is more significant, so unless a reason was given, it can (/seems to) be removed.

Also the USA uses miles too, aggressively. Europe and Canada, for example, use KM. DankJae 11:24, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your input, I learnt something new about USA always thought they worked in KMs like their speed limits. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for that honestly DragonofBatley (talk) 11:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Someone has recently added incorrect distance and direction from Birmingham. I've corrected. Rupples (talk) 13:01, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Official logo

The infobox here had a random image of a wolf (labelled ‘a wolf’) but displaying as the official logo of the city. A quick search for a city of wolverhampton official logo reveals no such thing (the nearest thing to an official logo is mentioned here) so I’ve deleted it. I trust everyone is OK with that.

Images

I have refreshed the multiple images in the infobox added to this wiki page. I'm open to discussion of these images are not suitable. If the images are not suitable please change. Be Bold Thanks MatthewDavid41 MatthewDavid41 (talk) 00:09, 28 July 2025 (UTC)
