Corn
editThis page links to the disambiguation page Corn, but I'm not sure which sense is intended. If you know, please fix it. Thank you. — Pekinensis 19:10, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Nice find
editThanks for this edit: BBC documentary well worth the 30 minutes it will take to watch. --Old Moonraker (talk) 14:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
"See also A.W. Lawrence"
editLawrence's staying with a girl friend in Devizes may well be significant on his own page, but to what extent is the information significant here? Revert? --Old Moonraker (talk) 13:11, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
- Given that there are sources which mention it, and both A. W. Lawrence and Margaret Guido are notable, it seems reasonably encyclopaedic. SilkTork (talk) 12:39, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
Andy Scott
editAs the article Andy Scott indicates, he doesn't actually live in Devizes but in All Cannings, a village some 4 miles outside. Should he still be included in the notable people section? Part of me says yes, as he's local to the town, but part of me finds it slightly misleading. Thoughts? TezzaC73 (talk) 18:30, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Southbroom Hoard
editcan be used for general article expansion but in particular it seems to say that the British Museum's 'Southbroom Hoard' might (?) have been a misnomer. It places a separate 1699 coin find at "land belonging to the owner of Southbroom House" and then places the statuary at "the Green". As long as that's near/within Southbroom or the old manor called "Southbroom", that's fine. Otherwise the name might've stuck because Mulgrave and Moll mixed up their Roman finds. — LlywelynII 01:11, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
