To-do list for Chelmsford:	edit · history · watch · refresh
referencing brought inline (from futher reading section) incorporate trivia section into article transfer sections which relate to the wider borough to Chelmsford (borough) details of the ancient borough remove details that are repeated in more than one sections remove or otherwise edit 'factoids' weblink citation for climate data improve encyclopedic tone

[edit] Trivia

The trivia section needs to be incorporated into the body of the text. This has already been done with some items around local government and reintroducing them simply creates repetition. This also needs to be done with the others to comply with WP:TRIVIA. Some things that are not encyclopaedic can be removed altogether. MRSC • Talk 19:29, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Education and other items relating to the wider borough

See Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements for guidance here. Lists of schools relating to a district get listed on that article. MRSC • Talk 19:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Marconi Quotation

The caption under Marconi's picture quotes him as saying, "If somethings hard to do then its not worth doing."

First of all, there's some punctuation missing, but more importatly, it makes no sense that Marconi would say that, as inventing the radio can't have been terribly easy, and I have not been able to find that quotation anywhere else, so I've removed it. Cadwaladr (talk) 19:18, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
