Image caption
There seems to be some dispute about the caption to the image of Trent Bridge. The main buildings on the skyline from left to right are Trent University; council house; St Peter's Church; not sure Vic Centre flats; St Mary's church. These are all in the City Centre. Would an acceptable caption be "The River Trent, with Nottingham City Centre behind"? Hallucegenia (talk) 15:45, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- or "in the distance" perhaps? IdreamofJeanie (talk) 15:55, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- I think we actually need a lead image like London, Birmingham, Liverpool etc which has a combination of images. Nottingham's could include the council house/market square, river Trent, castle, trams and other iconic images of the city. Does anyone know how to make these? It would stop the near constant picture swapping that happens on this article. KlickingKarl (talk) 12:24, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Or we could just use the River Trent image in the lead and a (smaller) Council House image in the relevant section. Are there any other images that have been used in the lead in the past? Hallucegenia (talk) 14:22, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know which images have been used, but I'm pretty sure the swapping will continue, so I'm going to try to find out how to do a combination image. The council house image doesn't sum up Nottingham as well as the skyline and Trent does IMO. KlickingKarl (talk) 13:48, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Archiving
This talk page has threads dating back to 2006. Unless anyone objects, I'll try to set up automatic archiving of anything more than a year old. Hallucegenia (talk) 14:24, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea. KlickingKarl (talk) 20:19, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- Now done. Hope it works.... Hallucegenia (talk) 10:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Transport
The "dubious" marking as regards the city being one of only six English cities with a tram system is probably wrong. So far as I am aware, the six are London Tramlink, Manchester Metrolink, Sheffield Supertram, Midland Metro, Nottingham Express, and Dockland Light Railway. One could argue that the DLR is not a light railway, although the clue is in the name, or that Tyne and Wear Metro is a light railway, so the true number is between 5 and 7. Unless Blackpool gains city status.
Update
Much of the information in this article, especially the Religion portion has citation needed issues, I am aware this page's talk was last active near of a decade ago, however I wish to draw attention to it, I will attempt to look for citable sources in line with Wikipedia criteria but don't really have a lot of time to read through various things in order to glean the information so any help would be appreciated, did not want to delete large chunks of passage that is uncited. 70.69.172.92 (talk) 09:29, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
