Climate[edit]

I've moved the weather data table to its own article, so that it can be linked to from other nearby towns also. Andy Mabbett 12:45, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Is there any way to group references, so that rather than the same book being referenced 12 times there is a single reference entry?

Furthermore I believe the article has surpassed stub status, is there any one particular problem holding it back?Rjd.1892 11:41, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your first question, references have to be placed against the specific point they reference, so no, you can't just have one big ref at the end saying "most of that came from book X" ChrisTheDude 06:56, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flat demolitions[edit]

I think something should be mentioned of the recent multiple flat demolitions. RJD.1892 7/29

I can't find any sources that cover this ChrisTheDude 12:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:MiMTZWSVNIkJ:www.bcn-society.co.uk/BCNS_Photo_Gallery8.php+brownhills+demolition&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=16&gl=uk&ie=UTF-8

this makes a reference to the demolition of the flats in 2004, is this satisfactory?Rjd.1892 21:31, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Link number 47 does not work Rjd.1892 17:35, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.walsall.gov.uk/index/brownhills_-_key_developments.htm mentions "the brownfield site of the former 1965 Waine House (14 storey block of flats), located to the eastern end of High Street" under the "Housing 21 Extra Care Unit, High Street" sub-heading, and http://ukhousing.wikia.com/wiki/Brownhills mention that Waine House and Bayley House were demolished in 2004.
While I understand that the latter may not be an appropriate Source(tm), it's well known to anyone who's been around Brownhills for a while that the flats in question HAVE been knocked down, and this does need to be reflected on the WikiP page.

Culture[edit]

Brownhills has air and army cadet squadrons, cub scout and beaver meetings, should they be included in this section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Njd.1892 (talk • contribs)

Not especially significant as far as I can see, every town has these ChrisTheDude 21:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Education[edit]

Should the fact that 8% of people in Brownhills have a degree be repaeted in the education section? or is one mention enough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Njd.1892 (talk • contribs)

No, because the section is on education in Brownhills and none of those 8% gained their degrees in Brownhills. The section is not about the education level of Brownhills people, but rather the education facilities that exist within the town ChrisTheDude 21:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA pass[edit]

As I said at the peer review, this is almost a featured article. A few things though - I really would like to see some additional categories. See Manchester for an example - categories for the establishment year, the "cities in..." cats, etc. etc. Some of the templates there may also apply to Brownhills (I know it's not as big as Manchester, but still...). As for the governance section, I suppose you're right, there isn't much else you could add. Just a note - don't use "Conservatives" in the article, use "Conservative party" etc. Any sort of history related to governance, again as per the Manchester article, would be nice too, but I'm not sure if there is that much for this one. By the way, did you take note of the automated peer review suggestions on the PR? They could be useful, and the 6th bullet point especially is something that some people at FAC are big on. Anyways, it's a GA now, and I look forward to supporting the FA! — H2O —  09:30, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:URFA/2020[edit]

I’m reviewing this article against the FA criteria as part of an effort to check all old featured articles (Wikipedia:URFA/2020). The core of this article is based on 2007 citations. This is particularly problematic in sections like economy and education. There also instances of uncited text. It does not seem that this article meets the Wikipedia:Featured article criteria. if these problems cannot be solved here on talk, the article will be submitted to the featured article review process, where more time is granted for improvements, but it might be delisted eventually. Femke Nijsse (talk) 12:29, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Femke Nijsse: - I'll take a look over the next few days -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:40, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Femke Nijsse: - I am making good progress, should be all sorted within a few more days :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:13, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Great! (btw, the pingie works with Femkemilene). Femke Nijsse (talk) 17:16, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, sorry! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Femkemilene: - as an update, the economy and education sections have been completely overhauled, the number of 2007 citations in other sections dramatically reduced and uncited text either removed or cited. -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:05, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is the article ready for me to look over again? FemkeMilene (talk) 17:54, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Femkemilene: Go for it. Let me know anything else that still needs looking at....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:15, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy! One instance of sandwiching, but I don't mind too much. FemkeMilene (talk) 19:20, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through now, but I am constrained by iPad typing ... ChrisTheDude could you review External links per WP:ELNO, reliable sources, and FAs are already comprehensive? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:06, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, because I am iPad typing, might you convert the two images in Transport to a multiple image mimicing the ones in Economy, for consistency in image layout ? Prettier that way :). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:14, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
the word “parade” is mentioned in an image caption and nowhere else in the article, so I have no idea what that caption means. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:17, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
See the top of my user page for info about the word “however”, and this is not a sentence: However, in accordance with a recommendation of the Local Government Commission for England. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:19, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
See User:Tony1 for exercises to reduce the overuse of the (almost always redundant) word also. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:20, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SandyGeorgia: I binned off all the xlinks, as they seem tangentially related at best. I clarified what the Parade is, and fixed the dodgy sentence fragment -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:31, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
