On the project page you can find detailed guides on how to write about counties and settlements, as well as where to find statistics, references and other useful things. Additionally, the following has been identified as specific improvements this article needs:



  • History section: do we really need a new sub-section for every paragraph? Consider grouping under fewer headings, or even none at all.
  • Prose is better than lists, and this article is almost all lists at the moment!



Fanny Adams redirects here, but it is not at all clear why until you see the table of contents. In wondering how to make it a little more obvious, the only thing that came to mind was giving the section its own article, with a link here, and a link from here there (possibly in See also if it doesn't fit anywhere else). The only thing though is that what we have isn't really enough for an article on its own - is there any more than can be said? If not is there a way of making it more visible why you're redirected here? Thryduulf 22:40, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)


Who is Arthur Roberts? Does he deserve mention on this page? All I can find about him is several websites that reckon he is a famous former member of Alton College - a conclusion they may have drawn from reading this Alton WP page. Euchiasmus 21:06, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I have removed Arthur Roberts. 86.137.111.226 05:29, 29 March 2006 (UTC)hbcv
I have removed him again (maybe a revert was responsible for his reappearance). Euchiasmus 14:58, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
