[edit] Big edit

As you'll probably see, I've started a big edit to this page. Most of it isn't all that detailed because a good reference book I have called "Weatherfield Life" has gone walk-about! When I get it back, I will write more.

I have left the original information regarding Weatherfield High, Weatherfield Arms etc. It would probably be useful to have sections for educational institutions (Weatherfield High, Weatherfield Girls' School & Oakhill Private School) and quite a substantial list of pubs and of course the Newton & Ridley's Brewery.

I don't understand the last line or what relevance it has to Weatherfield. The set of Coronation Street may well move from central Manchester to Salford, but that does not mean that Weatherfield is moving - the town is fictional afterall! Ben 03:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I have noticed you have been putting alot of work in expanding the article, which is great! It isn't often I see an article (in a stub state it was previously), be generated into an article with a wealth of information over night (literally).

I have noticed you have been using alot of line breaks (such as <br>), some of which were unncessary and I have removed (near the top). The others further down I can understand why they have been placed (to keep the format of the article intact), but may not look the way as intended with different resolutions, unless of course further information is planned. It seems as if it's only been partially revamped by yourself, so I will assume that's the case. Good stuff! Bungle44 22:41, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. I added the line breaks between 'Industrial & Modern Weatherfield' and 'Areas of Weatherfield' because I am planning on filling the blank section out once I have the book to source from. Ben 23:09, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Map

Forgot to add that I've scanned and uploaded a map of Coronation Street and its surrounding streets that I drew a couple of years back! Ben 03:54, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coronation Street itself

Article lacks mention of when it was built or which coronation the name refers to. -88.109.76.231 12:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Weatherfield quays.jpg

Image:Weatherfield quays.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
