Talk:Clone town

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Clone towns in Scotland

The article says "In Scotland, the major provincial towns such as Paisley, Clydebank, Greenock, Ayr, East Kilbride, Stirling and Falkirk all suffer from clone town syndrome with their identical array of chain stores and coffee shops in gaudy polar white shopping malls."

For starters words like "identical" and "gaudy" are hardly NPOV. But also none of these towns were actually featured in the nef survey. This whole paragraph seems more like someone's rather jaundiced opinion.

I propose to remove it. Any objections? --Stewart Robertson 11:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] new economic foundation (nef)

Is there a reason the name and acronym are all in lowercase? Is there a reason that "think tank" is in scare quotes? I'm going to change both, but if I'm wrong, please change it back and explain here. --76.203.74.26 12:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just rewrite note on Scottish towns?

Rather than remove the Scottish provincial towns reference, perhaps it could just be miminmised to something like "Allthougth not included in the NEF survey, many Provincial towns in Scotland are considered to have similar characteristics"

Perhaps it would then be possible to remove the contested articles header, which does seem a bit extreme for such a minoe quibble ;-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.2.73.160 (talk) 11:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
