2. Photos need to be added.
3. Infobox needs to be added. (see Template:Infobox UK place/doc‎ for guidance.)

[edit] Alderley Edge - mines

References (selected) have been added for the article about the mines. Pictures have been added also. Let me know if more detail is required. Nigel —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nigeldibben (talk • contribs) 10:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

I think we should try to make these references inline as far as is possible. Would this be possible for you to do, since you added most of them, and would know which places best to place them in the text?  DDStretch  (talk) 10:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

ooops - sorry. Ignore that, you've done it! I've also added a notes section to avoid mixing up superscripted stuff (which is sometimes needed) with the author-date forms of referencing.  DDStretch  (talk) 10:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Population number updated

"Population 4808 not 4809 according to the improved reference now cited". Oops, has somebody died recently ??

Nope. It has come about because the two figures refer to slightly different things: one is for the civil parish, and one is for the ward, which is used to elect the district councillor. The two need not cover the same area. See Wards of the United Kingdom for an explanation. Looking at the 1:25000 OS Maps can also be illuminating, as they show many difefrent kinds of boundaries.  DDStretch  (talk) 20:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Addendum: if you look at the official government website for census figures, you can see the different shapes of Alderley Edge, meaning the ward, and Alderley Edge, meaning the civil parish. This gives the map of the civil parish (on right hand side of screen), and this gives the ward map. You can se they cover slightly different areas.  DDStretch  (talk) 20:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comprehensive explanation, and for treating my question seriously :-)

[edit] Demographics

Is it really necessary to give the same information twice: in the narrative and in the table?
--Jotel 21:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

The text was meant to be a more detailed version of the table, but if you don't think it works feel free to remove it. Nev1 13:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I've since changed the demographics section, so that now it doesn't repeat the table as much. Nev1 11:33, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Noted :-) , with thanks. I'm sure it's better if the original editor, not a 'third-party' makes this type of changes.--Jotel 11:37, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
