Request reason:

I am requesting that my block is reviewed. I believe that, if i am unblocked,i would be able to edit this web site in accordance with rules and guidelines. Whilst, at the time of the block, i was highly immature and foolish, i do not believe this to be the case any more. I have changed an awful lot as a person since then and, this time, I will look before I take the proverbial leap. Even if you decide not to un-block me. Whist at the time of my block, I must admit, I was just a member of wikipedia to waste time away. However, if I am unblocked, be assured that this will no longer be the case. I was unaware that you weren’t supposed to welcome users who hadn’t edited - this will no longer happen (when I’m unblocked). thank you for taking time out of your day to read this, whether you unblock me or not.

Decline reason:

This unblock request has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate and confirm that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:

Once you have decided on the article you will propose improvements to:

    1. Click the Edit tab at the top of that article;
    2. Copy the portion of the prose from that article that you will be proposing changes to. However:
      • do not copy the "infobox" from the start of the article (i.e., markup like this: {{infobox name|...}}),
      • do not copy any image placement code (i.e., markup like this: [[File:Name.jpg|thumb|caption]]),
      • do not copy the page's categories from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: [[Category:Name]]),
      • and do not copy the stub tag (if there) from the bottom of the page (i.e., markup like this: {{Foo stub}});
    3. Click edit at your talk page and paste at the bottom under a new section header (like this: == [[Article title]] ==) the copied content but do not save yet;
    4. Place your cursor in the edit summary box and paste there an edit summary in the following form which specifies the name of the article you copied from and links to it (this is required for mandatory copyright attribution): "Copied content from [[exact Name of Article]]; see that article's history for attribution."
    5. You can now save the page. However, if your edits have any citations to reliable sources (which they should), add the following template to the end of your prose: {{reflist-talk}}. Once you have added the template, click Publish changes.
  • Now, edit that content. Propose significant and well researched improvements by editing the selected portion of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
  • When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking using {{unblock}} and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
    • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will hopefully improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{Help me|your question here ~~~~}}" to your talk page. Thank you. Yamla (talk) 17:50, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Governance

edit

As a former village distinct from the town, it has its own Parish Council, unlike more recent 20th and 21st century suburbs of the town. In the 20th century the parish was merged with East Hunsbury, a rural area before development in the 1980s.[1] However, the combined Wootton and Hunsbury Parish was demerged again in 2015; the Wootton part initially gaining the name "Wootton, Wootton Fields and Simpson Manor", before it was agreed that this was too cumbersome, and the parish was reverted to its original name, Wootton.[2] The previous election was held on the 6th of may 2021. [3] The next election is scheduled to be held in 2025.

The village is mostly in the Nene Valley ward of West Northamptonshire Council, with small parts of the parish in the Hackleton and Grange Park ward.

Demographics

edit

The 2001 census[4] showed there were 2,015 people living in the parish, 978 male, 1,037 female in 885 dwellings. The 2011 Census showed that the ward had expanded rapidly to 11,180.[5] As of the 2021 census, there were 8,600 people living in wootton parish. 51% of which were female, 48% were male, and they were living in 3,000 households.[6]

Facilities

edit

There is a community centre, a recreation ground with multi-use games area, a Working men's club; opticians and a medical centre.

Wootton has two pub/restaurants – "The Yeoman of Old England" in the centre of what was the old village. The second, "The Queen Eleanor" together with a Premier Inn hotel are both on Newport Pagnell road near the Queen Eleanor junction of Mereway and the A45. There is a shop, butcher, chemist and a large Dobbies Garden Centre in Newport Pagnell Road. Waitrose also said they would like to build a supermarket on the road but this was opposed in a report commissioned by the West Northampton Development Corporation.[7] However, in 2013, plans were approved for a new Waitrose store[8] which was opened by Christmas, 2013.[9]

The village primary school is Wootton County founded in 1873. A modern all-through Caroline Chisholm School for young people aged 4–19 is located on Wooldale Road. The private Northampton High School for girls is located along Newport Pagnell Road.
