[edit] Date of Upside Down Burial?

The date on this photo [1] says that the major was buried on 11th July, not June 17th as stated in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tomhannen (talk • contribs) 10:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] split

VILLAGE AND HILL SEPARATE 86.209.220.126 20:25, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely, bar that we don't have any content on the village. –EdC 21:35, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bus Routes

Do we need to know every bus that comes by Box Hill and have a picture? Is it not enough just to mention it is served by local bus routes and leave it at that? I appreciate that there are bus enthusiasts who like these things mentioned but IMHO articles shouldn't become hobby spaces. --John Gibbard (talk) 23:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the specific numbers are probably not necessary. I do have a scenic picture of two buses passing at the visitor centre, which mainly shows the landscape of area surrounding the path from the visitor centre to the viewpoint. Would it be an idea to upload this? -- Arriva436 (talk) 16:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I would not object if the picture shows context in terms of the location and visitor centre in cropped format that fits within the article :).--John Gibbard (talk) 16:49, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I have just added it. It is this: Image:The two Sunray E200s pass.jpg I have added the description of "The path between the Visitor Centre (and car park), and the viewpoint (the clearing in the background), can clearly be seen on the right of the picture". Hopefully this will then be a picture of the buses and the most heavily used path a Box Hill! If you think it is unfit, then feel free to revert it! -- Arriva436 (talk) 16:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
