This article is over-linked, the relevance of links on words like 'habitat' seems silly —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrbray (talk • contribs)

[edit] Paul Clark

Is Paul Clark really deserving of being on the famous people list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.136.47.100 (talk • contribs)

He's unquestionably notable because he's an MP. He's not "famous" in the sense of being a household name, so I've changed "famous" to "notable". A bit iffy 00:55, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

Why is this called "Gillingham, Medway" rather than "Gillingham, Kent" when all the other parts of the Medway Towns are called "x, kent" (eg Rochester, Kent, Chatham, Kent and Rainham, Kent) and even the station is called Gillingham (Kent) railway station. Pickle 14:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

These redirections need to be changed Gillingham, Medway is a nonsense (Local Knowledge). Switch the article to Gillingham Kent, and use Gillingham, Kent to redirect. Then edit the disamb. page. Will you do it or should I ? ClemRutter 07:31, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

The redirection is done- can one of the gurus check that I have done it correctly. ClemRutter 23:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Err no, sorry! - You're meant to use the "move" function and move the pages around in a carousel to preserve the edit histories or something, but I'm not sure if I'm clever enough to fix it! Pickle 16:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Its going to take sometime to go thorugh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/Gillingham%2C_Kent and fix all the apges that link to "Gillingham, Medway" rather than "Gillingham, Kent" - unless you know a bot that does that! Pickle 16:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
