In view of my appalling error, I won't participate further in the discussion. Thank you for accepting my apology.

But you say that it is not possible for you to add to the infobox. So how has it been done at Bournemouth? Even though I consider it a misuse of parameter which is intended for nesting (village/parish/borough/county/state/country in the US for example), it seems that technically it can be done.

May I point you to the lead of

When you remove |shire_county=[[Cumbria]] from infoboxes, please replace it by |lieutenancy_england=[[Cumbria]], otherwise the infobox won't work properly. Thanks!  Dr Greg  talk  12:39, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Songofachilles! Your additions to

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:51, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I would like to say I totally agree with you on the article on “Hove is a seaside resort “ I feel the same about “Brighton is a seaside resort”. I think this link describes It perfectly and should be known as Brighton, (city of Brighton & Hove and the same for Hove page or even better just have one Brighton and Hove page with all the information on there seeing as Brighton and Hove is one united city https://www.kingseducation.com/kings-life/10-fun-facts-about-brighton#:~:text=An%20important%20first%20fact%20is,two%20to%20be%20separate%20towns 78.86.134.131 (talk) 11:08, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@78.86.134.131

Agreed! Songofachilles (talk) 16:35, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@78.86.134.131 ps. If you could write what you've written above on the Talk page for Hove below what I have written, that would be really useful! Thanks. Songofachilles (talk) 15:03, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
