Population
Editors need to back up a claim with sources. 230k plus population is utterly ludicrous. It make it bigger then Bolton which Stockport is not and that's been left unchallenged without a 2021 census source to back it. DragonofBatley (talk) 18:12, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
Wasn't Lombe Assassinated 10 years Prior to the Event Mentioned?
Re: "When Lombe tried to renew his patent in 1732, silk spinners from towns..."
I'm confused because John Lombe supposedly died in 1722, assassinated by a woman hired by the Italians who believed he stole the design for their invention, the silk thrower, Can someone please clarify? The subject of the paragraph is John Lombe, and in fact he is the only Lombe mentioned in the article. But could it be a relative? Or a different year? Or,..????

Contradictory Etymology
This article contradicts the Stockport County F.C one, as it claims Stockport originally meant hamlet with a market but that article claims the name of the town is derived from the De Stokeport family. Which one is correct? Overlordnat1 (talk) 11:58, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- Both are referenced, but surely the family name "De Stokeport" indicates that they were "from Stokeport" and so the contradiction is just an issue of which came first. Lithopsian (talk) 15:10, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- I agree. There are a few things I’m unsure about or that seem a bit dubious that I’ve started a discussion about on Wiktionary’s Etymological Scriptorium. See the following link[1] Overlordnat1 (talk) 11:37, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
Picture
The picture by Jonathan Thatcher. It says 1791 on the bottom of the actual picture. But it says 1784 in the caption? 81.170.47.91 (talk) 13:13, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
- Click through to the picture data on Wikimedia Commons and you'll see that it is indeed 1784. Good spot though! 10mmsocket (talk) 17:24, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
