[edit] Link spam

Is this page just meant to be a big advert or what? I'm concerned that the pages for all the localities near me seem to be little more than links pages to bristishpubguide.com --JerB 10:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

No, it is not. See WP:EL. William Avery 22:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] War memorial

I have added a picture. There is some information on www.southglos.gov.uk . William Avery 16:09, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Downend, South Glos

Shouldn't the Bristol part be changed to South Gloucestershire. At present it is implying it is part of Bristol...

  • This has occurred to me too, but I would suggest at least leaving a redirect. Like Filton, Downend is very much part of the conurbation of Bristol and I feel it ought to be stay in the 'Districts of Bristol' category (maybe there should be a subcategory for districts of Bristol that are in South Gloucs). I am almost tempted to say Bring back Avon!, but will go and lie down until the feeling passes, which won't take long. William Avery 20:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Agree. I think it should be Downend, South Gloucestershire, as it is technically not part of Bristol at all. However, I would also have a redirect from Downend, Bristol as it is very much a part of the conurbation that has Bristol as its centre. I don't know how to do redirects, or change page names, but I strongly support the idea. Duncshine 08:39, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I have moved this as mentioned. The redirect has been included. Fullerov 16:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Should it be 'Downend & Bromley Heath, South Gloucestershire'? That is the official name of the civil parish. William Avery 21:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
