[edit] Dubris - River Stour

The section below implies that Dover was situated on the estuary of the River Stour. However, the estuary of the River Stour is several miles north at Pegwell Bay. Should this be changed to the River Dour which flows through Dover?

"As the river estuary of the River Stour, Kent (now silted up) and the closest point to France, in Roman times the town became an important harbour of the Classis Britannica, an important fortified trading and cross-channel port and a starting point of Watling Street."

[edit] Merge with History of Dover

I am proposing this since there is great deal of duplication of facts. History of Dover has been lifted from the Dover article, and a resumé of that substituted in the parent article. Even so, much can be done to bring the history into some reasonable condition Peter Shearan (talk) 06:29, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I would contest that. The topic can be dealt with in far more detail here, with a resumé on history of Dover. Merged onto history of Dover, it would overwhelm the rest of Dover's history. Other cities have separate pages for their Roman phase eg Durovernum Cantiacorum and Rutupiae. As for the duplication of facts, I'm editing it for that at the moment.Neddyseagoon - talk 10:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
