Sections and structure[edit]

Hi. This article has two section headings. One for "Castle". One for "Barracks".

Under the "castle" section, there is lots of content completely unrelated to the castle (bridges, etc). Ditto for the "barracks" section (stuff about workhouse, John Locke, weir, etc).

Unless someone can explain the value of these section heads, I propose reorganising the sections on different lines. To be honest I'm not entirely sure what to propose. Chronologically ordered would seem more sensible for a history article. Or, if we are to keep an arrangement where we organise on "geographical" lines (and have sections covering the history of specific buildings/structures), then at least we should add another section to cover the "other" content ("castle", "barracks", "other").

Whatever the solution, I think just about anything (including removing the section heads altogether) would be better than the current arrangement. Guliolopez (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any comments/insights on the above? If not I will probably restructure this article in the coming days... Guliolopez (talk) 01:36, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done A year later, I finally got around to addressing some of these points. Guliolopez (talk) 11:43, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
