Having added lots of towns and village links in the form 'Placename, Surrey' I now need to go through them and find out which would be better off without the ', Surrey'. Better planning would have done this first! SGBailey 22:10 Dec 13, 2002 (UTC)
Is there a rule on this? Logically, it would only seem necessary to put the country after the town/village if there is another place of the same name elsewhere. One I know of is Hambledon (there are several of these in the UK). Jon
Education section: I'm sure Rosebery School does have a good academic record, but so do the others listed. Shouldn't this simply be a list of schools/links and their locations, with extra information restricted to their respective pages? I was going to delete the additional information beside Rosebery but felt a bit mean! JonC
Surrey is very posh, leafy and snobby RC
- Quite right; what's a plebeian oik like you doing on this nice exclusive talk page? (Really, they let in anybody these days.) 81.159.255.24
What a lot of spelling errors! Excert? and Sherrif? I think the words requird are Excerpt and Sheriff. LC
Yes, the whole Timeline section needs tidying up, and preferably a linked section to itself. It contains details which are not relevant to Surrey, or which relate to a much wider area (eg: history of the Roman occupation of Britain as a whole). And yes, there are many typos. As for the more recent history, do we really need the name of every High Sheriff (note spelling) of Surrey, County Council Chairman, Chief Constable... When other years are added, it is going to go on forever. In fact this needs so much work, that it may take a team effort. Anyone feel like starting this?! JonC
I agree so much, and as a Surrey resident, have begun to do it. I have done my best at the first paragraphs and have revamped the "history" section myself with my own research (reference included at the bottom). There now needs to be someone who is more familiar with the history between 1066 - 1889 to add on to this some more detail. I have linked to the seperate "Earl's of Surrey" page to avoid inclusion of those details on this page. James Frankcom
