Talk:History of Southampton

[edit] Sections

The sections in this wiki entry aren't big enough to warrant being sections - The headings are often longer than the actual information, and the list of contents in stupidly long as a result. This needs a LOT of work. 207.138.98.253 (talk) 10:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Yup, needs a lot of work. I've added a few bits recently, still more to do which will flesh out the sections which I agree are a bit short at the moment. But it takes time to build up Wiki pages. The book I'm referring to at the moment is 200 pages long. Southampton has a LOT of History. It would help if people would stop criticising and start writing.......Hethurs (talk) 20:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on the hard work you are putting in. One quibble - rather than countless (80+?) references to the Rance book under one reference, would it not be better to give the separate pages for each reference. I have the book myself, and it would be great to be able to see where your references are in the book. Cheers. --Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:21, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Now that's a fair point. I've not been entirely happy with the citations myself and have wondered if there's a better way of doing them. I'll endeavour to start putting the page numbers in and see how that works. Thanks for your commentHethurs (talk) 10:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC).
