Assessment Report
- Article needs to be expanded using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
- References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded, including the addition of more "in-line" citations. (See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.)

[edit] Roman Times
While doing research for my website on Malpas I found a reference in an old local history book in Chester public library, to the "Malpas Tabula" (if my memory serves me well) which was a letter for the discharge of a Roman legionnaire written on copper plate and found in field south of Malpas supposedly alongside the path of the old Roman road. A drawing was shown with a note that the tabula now resides in the British Museum. Anybody have any more information on this? Barfbagger 15:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
There seems to be some confusion in the sources regarding the diploma. this site tells us that the diploma was found in another malpas in glamorganshire, whilst this other site (with some great photographs of the document) refers to a malpas 50miles south of liverpool - ie. in cheshire. --Mcginnly | Natter 10:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- sorry - confusion over. http://www.livius.org/di-dn/diploma/diploma.html is the reliable information the other site tells us he wasn't sure which malpas it came from.--Mcginnly | Natter 13:35, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

- And here's the British Museum website entry - I'll include it in the article. [1] --Mcginnly | Natter 13:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

- But this site suggests the find was from Bickley [2]. --Mcginnly | Natter 13:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] A Possible project (or sub-project) for Cheshire
I think a project or a sub-project (within the UK geography project) dealing with the whole of Cheshire would be a good idea. I have taken as a precedent the project about Cornwall, which any project dealing with Cheshire could hope to aspire to, since this project has constructed Featured Articles about Cornwall-related things. So, I've listed a proposed project concerning Cheshire on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I think it can easily co-exist with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. I would not want to diminish or withdraw from this other project. If you are interested in contributing to this proposed project, please add your name to list at the appropriate place. If you think it might be better placed as a sub-project of the existing UK Geography Project, please say so on that project's talk page, here, and let us discuss it. Many thanks.
