Noticed this page was very short (just 1 paragraph) so I did some research and expanded it quite a bit. It's my home town, so its all correct, and i'm quite pleased with the result. Anything I've missed? Grunners 00:30, 23 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cricketers and Cricket

The Cricketers is not where the rules of cricket were written down. That is The Bat and Ball, Hambledon. See http://www.visitwinchester.co.uk/hambledon.shtml and many others!

I was a regular in The Cricketers a few years back :-).

[edit] Council

'EHDC has recently been beset by corruption scandals, with at least one high level officer resignation (Head of Planning, caught falsifying figures to obtain grants) and others to follow.'

I vaguely remember something about that. Must be several months ago now. Please don't use words like 'recently' - use dates instead. unsigned comment by 212.56.114.4 on 2nd October 2005

Having a parent who works at the council, and also knowing personally the guy involved, I'd say it was an isolated incident, there is certainly no suggestion that the council is ridden with corruption. I'd also raise the point as to whether one small incident of fraud on a county council is worthy of entry in the article? Grunners 14:39, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ambulance

It is hampshire ambulance that cover petersfield. Not south central whatever that is —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThunderGold (talk • contribs)

[edit] External links cleanup

This article has got a lot of external links and more are been added at a very rapid pace - hence I am nominating this article for external link cleanup. I think we should only have links for important websites directly about Petersfield. For example, school websites should be linked in a school article about them and not in a town article. I will be removing excessive external links in the near future if there are no objections raised here. Camaron1 | Chris 18:46, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and cleaned the links - I think those remaining are reasonably relevant to the article. I have removed church and school links as they are not really important enough to the article and can be placed on more relevant articles such as The Petersfield School. I have removed the link to a personal blog as these should be avoided per WP:EL and boarders advertising. Finally, I have removed the link to the Petersfield Town Design Statement Wiki as this is related to the Petersfield Tomorrow project and is already linked - links should be kept to a minimum per WP:EL so one per large multi domain websites will do.
