Talk:Swanscombe

Untitled

Copied from the village pump Whilst I concede the village itself could do with a bit of work, the item listed as Swanscombe at Wikipedia has been in my view unjustly listed for clean-up. As the original contributor I have gone back to it and made such efforts as I deem fit, but can not really see a problem with its content or style, but having removed the label from the page after checking it again, I have left the comments on the clean-up page in case anyone disagres. If so please go and improve it for us all! I will in due course return to it as I do with all my pages to see what else I have to offer it. In the mean while I find it frustrating that a page not in need of further attention should be treated in this way, (clearly no one else has bothered to add to it or change it at all!), and when I ask for help, all I get is silence! ref:(Henry Hoese).

Perhaps you could make it have better sections and subsections – have "History", "Tourist attractions" and "Companies", or something similar. violet/riga (t) 11:00, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Good idea, but for the time being a few external links about modern events will have to do. History is my main interest, but will look into it.

I think the cleanup task was not quite necessary. The editor that added it probably wanted some more polishing. The article itself looks very nice to me. Thanks for your nice work. -- Chris 73 Talk 12:32, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

I'm to blame for the cleanup tag but the article seems in pretty good shape now so I'm happy the tag was removed. The only thing that strikes me as needing work is that it seems a bit heavy on history and light on the village as it exists today. For example, I'm wondering what the population of the village is and whether there are industries other than cement. --LeeHunter 01:02, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Bombing

Could you cite sources for those two quotes in the Second World War section? This is easily achieved with a footnote¹ or two. Thanks. — Trilobite (Talk) 18:32, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)

ref: bombing Swanscombe ww2:

Front Line County: Andrew Rootes 1980 (out of print). (added to item) Also my uncle lost three brothers in the bombing of the pub and it is thus a family memory. Faedra 13:20, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

World War 2

In this section, (see Revision as of 14:45, 2 July 2007) the gender of the child mentioned was changed, from daughter to son. This was changed by an anonymous contributor, and may have been misinformation. Can anyone confirm by reference to the quoted source? regards, Lynbarn (talk) 08:03, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
