To-do list for East Sussex:

edit · history · watch · refresh

Add summary history section with sub-page at History of Sussex Add physical geography section, covering geology, landscape, ecology and climate, with possible sub-page at Geology of East Sussex Possible sections on tourism, industry and culture, with sub-pages if necessary Turn the settlements section into a summary of the main towns; the list belongs at List of places in East Sussex and in the Category:Villages in East Sussex Populate Category:Natives of East Sussex, Category:Towns in East Sussex Category:Villages in East Sussex Category:South Downs as required Add images to the relevant sub-page(s) of WP:LI/UK

I have a made a start on the requested changes above. I am not terribly happy with the ubiquitous List of places ...., which needs an entry being made every time someone writes an article; it also seems to me that a separate list for towns (which are few) and villages (which are very many) makes a very complicated collection. I have therefore added to the note Category:Villages in East Sussex where an entry appears every time with a category ref of course. Peter Shearan 07:44, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Highest point...

In the section "Inland" it states both that Firle Beacon and Ditchling Beacon are the highest point in the county. I believe Ditchling to hold that honour, and the heights quoted support this. I presume that Firle holds a record which warrants its mention, but perhaps an editing error has left it dangling. Whatever the actual situation, it needs tidying up!--King Hildebrand 17:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
