[edit] "Construction" tidy-up

I edited the "Contruction" section, removing red links to Keith Cox, OxVox and Birse Construction. This is because Wikipedia recommends that red links should not be created for topics that will never have articles, and I don't think the aforementioned topics are notable enough to ever warrant articles.

I also pointed the red link "Company Voluntary Arrangement" to "Administration (insolvency)" because, currently, there is no article for CVA, and I felt it might be helpful for readers to be directed to an article on insolvency to understand what a CVA relates to.

[edit] Red links

I forgot to say that the reason I cleaned up the red links was because it looked clutterd on the page. I also forogt to mention that I left those for Manor Hospital, Robin Herd and Firoka Group because I thought they are notable enough for somebody to want to create articles for them.

[edit] Cleanup of whole article

I changed a few minor things within the article. These included a couple of awkward sentences, missing words (such as "in front of 7842", where I added "a crowd of"), and references to "the Us", which I changed to "Oxford United". Also, there was an instance of two links appearing next to each other, looking like one link. It was a link to the Oxford Mail and a link to "newspaper", and I removed the latter because it is unnecessary.

The "Usage" section looks overlinked, but does anybody have any opinion on this? I am going to remove the link to OUFC as, though it is the first link to the article in that section, it appears not so far up in the article (and it is only a short article).

I'm now going to remove the cleanup tag because I think it has been done (with the exception of possible overlinking), and I am going to put a citations tag (as I added a couple of fact tags. The Baroness of Morden (talk) 14:52, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
