[edit] Climate
I've moved the weather data table to its own article, so that it can be linked to from other nearby towns also. Andy Mabbett 12:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] References
Is there any way to group references, so that rather than the same book being referenced 12 times there is a single reference entry?
Furthermore I believe the article has surpassed stub status, is there any one particular problem holding it back?Rjd.1892 11:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- To answer your first question, references have to be placed against the specific point they reference, so no, you can't just have one big ref at the end saying "most of that came from book X" ChrisTheDude 06:56, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Flat demolitions
I think something should be mentioned of the recent multiple flat demolitions. RJD.1892 7/29
- I can't find any sources that cover this ChrisTheDude 12:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
this makes a reference to the demolition of the flats in 2004, is this satisfactory?Rjd.1892 21:31, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Link number 47 does not work Rjd.1892 17:35, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Culture
Brownhills has air and army cadet squadrons, cub scout and beaver meetings, should they be included in this section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Njd.1892 (talk • contribs)
- Not especially significant as far as I can see, every town has these ChrisTheDude 21:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Education
Should the fact that 8% of people in Brownhills have a degree be repaeted in the education section? or is one mention enough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Njd.1892 (talk • contribs)
- No, because the section is on education in Brownhills and none of those 8% gained their degrees in Brownhills. The section is not about the education level of Brownhills people, but rather the education facilities that exist within the town ChrisTheDude 21:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] GA pass
As I said at the peer review, this is almost a featured article. A few things though - I really would like to see some additional categories. See Manchester for an example - categories for the establishment year, the "cities in..." cats, etc. etc. Some of the templates there may also apply to Brownhills (I know it's not as big as Manchester, but still...). As for the governance section, I suppose you're right, there isn't much else you could add. Just a note - don't use "Conservatives" in the article, use "Conservative party" etc. Any sort of history related to governance, again as per the Manchester article, would be nice too, but I'm not sure if there is that much for this one. By the way, did you take note of the automated peer review suggestions on the PR? They could be useful, and the 6th bullet point especially is something that some people at FAC are big on. Anyways, it's a GA now, and I look forward to supporting the FA! — H2O — 09:30, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
