Fair use rationale for Image:Greater Manchester County Council Arms.png[edit]

Image:Greater Manchester County Council Arms.png 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.

ACORN demographics[edit]

There has been some to-ing and fro-ing over the following

The classification agency ACORN describes Heaton Mersey's most southern tip as being home to an affluent Asian community.((ref)) The majority of these Asians are British Pakistani families, most of whom have moved out of inner city Manchester.

The reference is http://www.upmystreet.com/local/neighbours-in-sk4-2bw.html, which does not seem to contain the information. It sounds plausible, but I don't see it in the ref, so I have removed the passage. Anyone? Mr Stephen (talk) 22:56, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reference definitely did describe part of this area as having a "high" asian population with "high" family incomes a few weeks ago. The website came up with the information after typing in "Heaton Mersey" into its search box, the profile has now changed so the website does not show this anymore. I dont know whether this is because this particular minority group has moved on (unlikely in such a short space of time) or whether it is something else. I do not personally know this part of Greater Manchester so im unsure of the situation this general sense.

However, the reference http://www.upmystreet.com/local/neighbours-in-sk4-2bu.html does currently show the information for southern Heaton Mersey. It claims that "Almost 40% of the people in this type of postcode are Asian" and says there are "high" incomes. Im not sure whether this type of information is notable though.

Geography[edit]

Some informative content, but think some improvements could be made. The statement about Heaton Mersey being on the River Mersey whereas the other Heatons are not, does not hold much significance as an item of information. It could be said about hundreds more places in the north west of England, and I think it's a fact already indicative by virtue of its name. The claim about the superior amount of green space should probably be backed up by an external reference, as true as it may be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stopford94 (talk • contribs) 18:13, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Historic County[edit]

It’s widely known that most of Stockport used to be part of Cheshire. However, the river Mersey was the border between Lancashire and Cheshire.

surely Heaton Mersey was actually part of Lancashire historically? HiddenHerobrine (talk) 14:47, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article states Lancashir until a recent, uncited, IP edit. See [1]] for one apparently non-wiki-related source. Lithopsian (talk) 14:53, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It would be informative to put back in but struggling to find a reliable source which states this. I’m not dubious of the fact but things need backing up. HiddenHerobrine (talk) 21:16, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
