Assessment Report
- Article needs to be massively expanded using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
- It should make use of sections, using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
- Photos may be better as a "gallery", and not too many of them! Add most of them to Wikimedia Commons.
- References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. Make sure that as many as possible are "in-line" citations.(See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.)

[edit] Too Many Photos at the moment
I think there are too many photos here at the moment. I think use should be made of Wikimedia Commons to place most of them there, as at the moment, they are over-powering the rest of the article. If (or when) the article grows somewhat, perhaps more photos can be added. At the moment, I would say a maximum of about 3 or 4 photos should be included here. For details of how to move photos to Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons can be consulted. DDStretch (talk) 13:29, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Marbury Mere" photos and section
The heading in the gallery and the photos themselves need some additional clarification. This is because there is formally no single body of water that could be relevant here that is called "Marbury Mere". Instead, there are two meres very close to Marbury, and both could be informally called "Marbury Mere": The "Big Mere" and the "Little Mere" (see the OS Map West Sheet 257). In one of the other photos in a different section the position of the church leads me to believe that the photos are of the "Big Mere", but the article needs more confirmation of that if possible. The labelling needs to be changed to be more accurate. Probably the addition to their names of "at Marbury" could be used, particularly as there are Quoisley Big and Quoisley Little Meres in the same civil parish, but that is a less pressing issue.

- Marbury Mere usually refers to Marbury Big Mere; all the photos here are of that one. The Little Mere is shown in this Geograph photo: [1]. Espresso Addict 12:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks. I've added some clarification in the appropriate places. I hope it preserves both the formal official name, and, from what you write, what is the locally accepted name for Big Mere at Marbury. Please alter the changes if you think they can be further improved. DDStretch (talk) 12:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- I've changed it to Marbury Big Mere as that's the usual local name. The photo gallery could do with some heavy pruning, particularly of all the Marbury Merry Days photos. Espresso Addict 13:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
