[edit] WikiProject UK geography overhaul
There is some great information in this article but I think it may need a bit of an overhaul. The introduction section is far too large - much of it needs to be put into a 'history' section. The grammar could use some attention in a few places. If anyone reads this then feel free to comment! Sevengoods (talk) 22:00, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- To make my point - our introduction is longer than that of London! I'm going to take a better photo for the town too, the best view is from south steet looking towards the town hall IMO.--Sevengoods (talk) 11:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
OK I'm bringing this article in line with the UK geography WikiProject. If you wish to contibute please read Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements. As per the guidelines I've added the sections:
- Geography - combined suburbs and surrounding villages
- Industry and Commerce (Economy was the alternative, but I&C seemed to fit better) - moved from intro
- Education
- Notable People - moved from introduction
I've completed the changes in multiple edits for the convenience of other editors.--Sevengoods (talk) 12:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ian Ruby Stabbings
I propose removing the stabbing parts in November 2008 when it has been a year since Ruby was detained and two and abit years since the stabbings themselves. Other users have tried to remove it on many occasions and as it hangs over the town I can see why but we can’t add only pleasant info as that would be removing the truth..d1169254 (talk) 03:30, 4 May 2008 (BST)
- I strongly concur. I don't think the information has a place anywhere in the article, let alone the LEAD section. The lead section is designated as a summary of significant information. Whoever wants this in the article I suggest you peruse Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements and find a suitable place to put it. Just because an event makes the national news for two days, years ago, does not make it make it RELEVANT or SIGNIFICANT to the town it occurred in.
Can we end the revert war now? I'm guessing its the one person who wrote the entry vs. everyone else.--Sevengoods (talk) 01:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)- Yep, so if we set a date everyone should be happy and we can't be accused of censorship. d1169254 (talk) 20:04, 21 May 2008 (BST)
- No time like the present, but I guess we could give it a week for anyone else to pipe up. 28th june?--Sevengoods (talk) 21:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
