[edit] Slogans and Quotes

Hello, isn't providing us with "the slogans and Quotes that Drayton Manor are using to advertise the park this season" the same thing as reproducing the park's advertising? I think that these should be removed. Politepunk 22:38, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lifeboat

I couldn't find a press release from either Drayton Manor or RNLI about the funding of the lifeboat by Stormforce 10, I'm sure there must be one and it would be nice to add it as a reference, the nearest I could find was this HM The Queen to view new RNLI lifeboat at St James’s Palace that mentions the boat and seems to suggest that it's an Atlantic 85 which replaces an Atlantic 75, so I've altered this article to reflect that. --ericthefish 18:34, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advert / NPOV

I've tried to reword the article to make it more neutral and less like an advert, I think the {{advert}} tag could be removed now, I'd like to hear what somebody else thinks first though. --ericthefish 16:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I think you've done a pretty good job. It was me who added the advert template so... it's gone. Well done for your edits on this article. Politepunk 22:17, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Future Projects & Rumours

Unsubstantiated rumours don't really belong on wikipedia (See Verifiability), we need to find reliable sources for each of the predictions we've got in the future projects & rumours section, once referenced I think the section should be renamed 'Future projects'. --ericthefish 16:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SkyFlyer Accident

Removed the phrase "apparently due to a fatal accident" from the Pandemonium section, because as User:81.129.61.56 pointed out theres "no information about this incident on the internet". If anyone wants to put it back, please do so citing your sources. --ericthefish 20:03, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zoo?

Why is there no mention of the zoo area within the park? I don't actually know much about it, but was just wondering if it could be included

The news about the new Launched Coaster called Raging Waves has been a topic on Drayton Manor Plus Forums, however i believe that it not actual news and just idea, hence why i believe it should be removed.

[edit] External Links

Don't you think external links should be put in? Drayton manor has loads of fan sites with information, so why shouldn't there be ant liks allowed?

[edit] Drayton Manor Plus

Hi. I think this is where this information needs to go. I was just asking whether Drayton Manor Plus [1] could be added to the external links page on the Drayton Manor website. It is classed as mroe informative than the Drayton Manor home page, and has a wide range of members. The site does not contain any advertising [ie google] and has many reviews and features. I fully understand if my applciation is not accepted!

[edit] Fan Sites Links

Why aren't any of Drayton Manor fan sites aloud to have a link from this page? They contain more useful information than the official site anyway. Sites that should be added:

Edit: I have added the DMOZ template to Site Links as instructed.

[edit] Removed a chunk of uncited rumours from the references section

I've removed a rather large section of text that had incorrectly been placed in the references section, if somebody wants to put it back, please feel free but please do add some citations (i.e. where did you get the information?) and add it to the correct section. --ericthefish 16:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
