[edit] Mick Hucknall

How is it that Mick Hucknall is listed under "Natives from Walton-on-Thames"

when his own wiki says he was born in Manchester?

Can we clarify Native? Do we mean he lives there now?

[edit] Edit 2/4/07

I have tidied up the page a bit. Hope it's OK with you all. The list of external links was unnecessarily long and some were non-encyclopedic. Some linked back as references so I put them there. Some I deleted. This is the previous list

• Walton-on-Thames.org
• The Heart of Walton - town centre redevelopment
• Elmbridge Online
• Old Walton Bridge - Canaletto
• The Walton Society
• St Erconwalds Church - Catholic Church in Walton
• Walton Baptist Church
• Walton C-of-E parish
• Walton & Hersham FC
• Esher and Walton Conservatives
• Councillor Rachael Lake, Walton North
• Walton Black Belt Academy Kickboxing

I also deleted the name Amanda Dowler from the people born here. It was a very sad case but whilst it is relevant to society as a whole, it is not really relevant to the town; in my view. Put it back in if you feel it should be there. SuzanneKn 16:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amanda Dowler

I see that references to this murder have crept back. I am not sure they are really relevant to the character of the town. Many wonderful and sad events happen in every town but it is not defined by a tragic murder. I would prefer if someone else could remove the reference or perhaps note here why they feel it is relevent. Thanks SuzanneKn (talk) 19:51, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

The person them self is notable as hey have a wikipedia page. For the fullness of information on wikipedia, at least some refence to this person should be made.--Lucy-marie (talk) 20:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
