Lunt Roman Fort[edit]

Hi, I am a guide at Lunt Roman Fort and would like to thank everybody who has contributed to this article. In the coming week the team at the Fort are going to edit this article too add depth, change the status of the article from a stub and add a number of photographs that we have that we feel highlight the unique nature of the site.

We do not intend to upset anyone by editing the article and welcome any input. Kind regards Lunt Roman Fort

Your input is certainly welcome here so long as your edits keep a neutral point of view and do not become self promotion. Also, here is a reference to guide your addition of photographs. One more thing: You'll need to have individual user names as accounts cannot be used by groups of people. I have left a message on your talk page with more detail. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 12:29, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Uncle Mitty

Thankyou for your quick feedback. First yes I am sure that our edits will not be self promotion or anything other than academic and second yes I realise that the guides need individual accounts. I will change the account name as suggested.

Take a look at similar articles that will give you some ideas for structure and what is required to improve the article. Warwick Castle is a featured article and may be a useful article to base this one on. Happy editing. Keith D (talk) 00:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

English Heritage and National Trust sites often have guidebooks which are excellent sources for expanding Wikipedia articles. Does Lunt have anything similar? Nev1 (talk) 23:47, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While Keith D suggests Warwick Castle as a reference point for how this article may develop, there is a handful of well-developed articles specifically on Roman forts, although they are all further away than Warwick. Deva Victrix (a very large fortress which became Chester), Mamucium (a fort for around 500 soldiers, the site of which later became Manchester), and Castleshaw Roman fort (a fort for around 500 soldiers later replaced by a fortlet for around 100; it never became a fully-fledged settlement).

"Lunt" etymology[edit]

When I asked a guide at the fort some years ago I was told that the word lunt described a landscape feature. If I remember correctly, it had something to do with the steep drop towards the river. I don't know if the average Britisher would know this word, but I would expect most people who read the English Wikipedia from all over the world don't. So if anyone knows more about this, it would be a good idea to add to the article, I think. --BjKa (talk) 20:20, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
