To-do list for Knightsbridge:

Here are some tasks you can do:
  • Wikify: Some over linking
  • Cleanup:

    Boundaries

    • this spills into S.Ken

    Economy

    • Harvey Nix and Harrods are probably notable, rest probably not

    History

    • focus and citations
    • extend, development of the area - much of historical property could come here

    Property needs to focus on types

    • remove prices (enough to say pricey)
    • remove refs to Middle East, Russians and anybody else author had a go at
    • after done that, maybe not much left! Types of property, mansion blocks, grand houses

    Education

    • is there no public authority education in the area?
    • Focus, most of these in South Ken

    Residents

    • citations for these - focus, again confusion with South Ken

    Whole article

    • General focus of article. Concentrate on Knightsbridge, tends to drift into consideration of South Kensington

    • Expand:
    Substantive content
  • NPOV: Property, people, general tone

The factors apparently used to rank Knightsbridge as a top importance article seem bizarre. The London Plan merely identifies the shopping frontages of Knightsbridge and Brompton Road as being at the top of London's retail hierarchy along with the major shoppings streets of the West End.

The various Albertopolis cultural institutions mentioned are geographically in South Kensington not Knightsbridge, which surely has a much better claim to top importance status.--Lang rabbie 20:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Under "Property" there over 20 "citation needed" tags, eventhough it is under a page in length. i dont know if this is spam or genuine, but it would be great if someone would add links or remove some tags, they seem to ruin this section, thanks JJB 22:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it reads like an estate agent on a slow day. Much of it needs a severe Knightsbridge Bob. It would be better to replace most of the 'cites reqd' with a general 'unencyclopaedic', or start again. Kbthompson 22:33, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
