Talk:Front garden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Acacia Avenue

Another editor has objections to linking to this. My view is that it helps the article by linking to an article which well suggests the cultural overtones which front gardens have in a suburban English context. Colonel Warden (talk) 14:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

It was I who made made the edit changing "A front garden gives access to a property by the most usual public route, and is almost always on the road by which a property is known (such as 42, Acacia Avenue) to “A front garden gives access to a property by the most usual public route, and is usually situated on the road named in the property's postal address“. As an editor for five years I don’t see how the former statement can be prefered to the latter because "Acacia Avenue" is a UK-only reference and will be meaningless in other countries whereas "postal address" will have the same meaning all over the world. As to your comment that “it helps the article by linking to an article which well suggests the cultural overtones which front gardens have in a suburban English context" I find that completely meaningless (Acacia Avenue is a street not a garden!) - Adrian Pingstone (talk) 15:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

We differ then. Let us see what Chasnor15 thinks. Colonel Warden (talk) 15:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Adrian Pingstone's edit. It was correct. Please be careful that you don't feel that you own an article.--Pmedema (talk) 19:17, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
