[edit] Melton Skaters and the Melton Skatepark

I am writing this to ask that the Melton Skaters link is not removed from the External Links section again, for those of you who don't know the Melton Skaters group have been working for the last 5 years to get a skatepark in Melton Mowbray, and we wish people to know about our project.--Churchill 17:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pork pies

Do the words used to describe the pork pies more reflect something to be read in an advert. No an encyclopedia entry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.255.104 (talk • contribs) 18:13, 19 November 2006

I agree, I've removed them. Also, any description of pork pies is not really relevant to this article, which is about the town, but to the pork pie article. Thryduulf 20:25, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable People! Timothy Cullen?

Now I happen to have heard of Tim Cullen but I strongly doubt he has the credentials to be deemed a "notable person" from melton Mowbray. Does anyone else agree he should be removed?

In the absence of any opposition I have removed Mr Cullen. If someone can give a legitimate reason why he is notable person (in the wider context beyond the town) then feel free to put him back.

[edit] Copyright violation

I've had to remove some content from the article (whilst I was standardising the headings and so on), as a large amount of the text was a breach of WP:COPYVIO, having been copied and pasted here from www.melton.co.uk.

To those who did this, please don't! And to those who didn't please watch out for a repeat of this, and reword/restructure any other prose which may have been copied from that site and elsewhere. El.Bastardo 15:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the remarks about the Melton Times which sounded like an advert, and the reference to an employee which whilst amsuing is not at home here in wikipedia.Stripeyfox 19:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
