[edit] Introduction
Correct error in introduction - Hale has never been a town. It is also south east of Altrincham, not south. (Bowdon is south) Cosmopolitancats 09:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC) Removed edit from unidentified person suggesting that three particular roads are notable. Besides being an opinion and unverifiable, placement in the introduction is incorrect. I'm not sure there is anyway that any road can be identified as notable as people will doubtless have different opinions - and wikipedia isn't about opinion.

[edit] Geography and Administration
[edit] Civic History
Include reference to former Hale District Council and former Cheshire Country Council and absorption into Trafford MBC as from 1974Cosmopolitancats 09:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
The information about local councillors is wrong and I have updated. This section needs to be updated after each election. Cosmopolitancats 10:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Local notables
see comment below by Nufftin
Include all references to footballers and Coronations Street actors here - does this need citation and are references up to date? Cosmopolitancats 09:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
I've marked up all the named notables as requiring citation. I've checked all their wiki entries and not one of them identifies where they live. Footballers with the big clubs have always lived in Bowdon, Hale and Hale Barns - as have Coronation Street stars and I would have no problem with them being referred to in a generic sense - but names need citation of the source of this information. I therefore suggest now that if no citation is forthcoming that all named individuals are deleted from the 'local notables' section.Cosmopolitancats 01:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Wayne Rooney? He lives in Prestbury!
Thanks Nev! I've deleted all references to named individuals and maybe we could keep an eye on this for the future and work on the basis of named individuals only where some sort of citation is provided. Cosmopolitancats 16:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Places of Interest
Include War memorials? Cosmopolitancats 09:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] OLD TALK ENTRIES
Please can "...there is a range..." be kept? "...there are a range of good schools" is bad grammar (like "there are a plate of sausages").
IIf there is going to be a list of celebrities/athletes, can there either be a live link to another Wikipedia entry, or some short description of why they are famous? Otherwise non-Brits cannot gauge why it is important that they live in Hale. --Nufftin 14:06, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Roy Keane
Is Roy Keane still a resident of the area since his move to Celtic? -- hedpeguyuk May 24 8:20 (UTC)
- Yes--Lo2u 12:37, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, lucky him (I didn't mean that to sound sarcastic). I would assume that he must feel a great deal of affection for the area, which probably isn't suprising. --hedpeguyuk 22:00, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
