[edit] Moorgate

It's me again. Self-nomination; the article spent a week on WP:PR with two comments. JuntungWu 12:01, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Support now jguk 16:45, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)Object for now. It's a nice short article - but I can't help thinking more could be said. I'm not saying all the following need to be dealt with to get my support (they don't), but here are some ideas for development:
    • (1)There are 2 key events mentioned (the hot air balloon flight and the Moorgate tube disaster) - more could be said about these.
    • (2)Were there any other interesting events that happened there?
    • (3)Any cultural references - what are the bars like?, has it ever been mentioned in literature?, any famous residents?
    • (4)The articles on Moorgate station and Moorfields are pretty small anyway - and much of the text on them is already in the Moorgate article. Could the articles be merged in to one?
    • (5)On my IE browser, the map of the London Wall, etc. covers up the end of the second line of text under "Moorfields". This should be fixed.
  • Let me know on my talk page after you've tweaked the article some more, and I'll see if I can change my vote to support, jguk 18:05, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • I am looking at it now. JuntungWu 14:27, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Okay, I've expanded the balloon flight and Moorgate crash sections considerably. There are lots of events but I think the problem is defining whether something is better covered in articles about neighbouring areas, eg., Barbican and Guildhall or areas in the rest of the City. I've stuck to covering only about areas directly connected to the present street, which I think is a fair definition. --JuntungWu 09:52, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support - It looks like a excellent article. I'm a bit confused as to why the various sections are present, I missed the mention of "Moorgate (street) and the neighborhood section heading the first time through. JesseW 18:25, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Support Love it. --PopUpPirate 00:06, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support the article is good, although there are few minor typographical quirkafleegs (such as floating square brackets) for someone to pick up. -- ALoan (Talk) 10:58, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
