Talk:Ashford, Kent

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:

• Cite more sources
• "Communications" section:
  • We do not promote non-Wikimedia projects, except in external links
  • Three sections are about transport. The rivers section looks out of place. I would make the rivers section the basis of a new "Geography" section, that would also include info on geology & landscape, climate, etc.
  • Is mode of transport the best way to order a transport section? Consider whether it would work better rewritten as a paragraph or two each on local and (inter)national transport.
• The "Ashford Today" section seems to be a bit of a "misc" section, and it's not really clear why commerce and sport are considered "today" while education and communications aren't.
  • The commerce section could become a top-level "economy" section, including statistics such as GDP and unemployment, and info on industries and major employers
  • The sport section can either become top-level, or become part of a new "culture" section, including info on local media and arts
  • Is the "in the news" section encyclopedic? Wikipedia is not a newspaper, and readers do not expect it to be.
• Prose is better than lists
