This article has been rated "stub" on the Wikipedia Version 1.0 quality scale.

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:

  • Add population data
  • Add photos
  • Cite sources
  • The William the Conqueror paragraphs should be in the History section, they do not need to be separated
  • Does the transport section really need to be split into subsections? The nearby places could be moved to the geography section, or the whole transport section could be merged in.
  • Add geology, landscape, rivers, climate, etc to the geography section
  • Culture, including arts, sport and media



[edit] Schools

A lot of the schools listed here aren't exactly in Barking, All Saints RC school for one. I suggest that this list gets moved the the 'London Bourgh of Barking and Dagenham page'.

Maybe list the ones that are specifically in Barking here, and the ones in Dagenham on the Dagenham article, and also list all of them in the page you suggest? - UK «ßØÛ®ßÖѧ3» T | C 21:14, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambig

Should disambiguate dog language and seal language; the former particularly deserves an article. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:15, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Restoration

I have restored the fishing section to how it was before all the vandalism, as someone, for some stupid reason, deleted the whole fishing section instead of just the vandalism The current sections should remain pretty much as they are.

Ill edit the grammer and spelling, and look into the subject to see if it has any truth in it
