How to add the same reference to multiple areas in the text?
Hi is there any way at all to add in a reference to cover one topic say at the begining of the topic then to refence the same document later on in the topic? or should i just list the same reference multiple times? as the same reference will appear in the ref list say 10 times!?? cheers Bankhallbretherton (talk) 00:49, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Nice work!
Just a quick note to say that this artcile is looking well, great job to all those who contribted to this fine article. With a few more references I would recomend someone put this artcile for GZ Peer Review and try to get this to GA status. We only have a few artilces that are GA in the scope of Wikproject: Lancs and Cumbria. Good work once again. --L. Gregson (talk) 20:23, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

I would say i have done 98% of the work on this page as im an expert on it and i have also found out new information on the way, which has been fascinating! The other 2% have been people picking up on spelling and grammar, but the rest is my information and links to articles that have helped construct it! Just a few things what is GZ peer review? and i would love to get this to GA status!! The Bank Hall Action Group will be over the moon if we can get GA status for Bank Hall!

Sorry I mispelt, I meant to say GA Peer Review. It's where Wikipedians check an artcile and comment on things that need to be done BEFORE submiting to Good Article Nominations (GAN). See this example of the Blackburn article. Ask me if you need more help. --L. Gregson (talk) 21:46, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Ormerod House
There is evidence of a connection between the Fleetwood and Leigh family and the Hargreaves family from Ormerod House, Burnley.

Merger
Hi, I do not think the two sub-articles meet the notability criteria for English wikipedia, i.e., they are subject to multiple, reliable third-party sources. Charities or local NGOs should be nationally famous or international in their scope for inclusion (WP:ORG), see also WP:NOBLECAUSE. While they are longish articles, at times the prose is windy and could be significantly trimmed. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 11:47, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi just to say that the Bank Hall Action Group are known nationally and internationally due to the restoration program and the snowdrops. The group even have members in canada! Also Carr House is known internationally and nationally thanks to Jeremiah Horrocks which puts the place on the map. I think that they could be expanded but may probably need some editing! I have seen worse pages than them both and they have had no comments on them, most of which i have tried to improve too. I think its good to take on certain pages and mine is local architecture and places to myself in the North west of UK as most i have come accross where stubs or starter pages with some info, but others i have created myself i try to add as much research i can find on them and reference it all and when i get time i try to expand them.

Gardens
I think its about time the duplicated garden info was removed.--J3Mrs (talk) 22:31, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Focus
I have started removing trivia as the article should focus on the hall, NOT its residents' life histories etc. Some of this trivia is duplicated elsewhere so please do not reinstate it here. --J3Mrs (talk) 12:21, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Im sorry but i have to disagree, the families are the history of the place just like with any other place, look through a national trust property book and you will see that the history is the family and the goings on. Thank you for the work you have done on the page though. Bankhallbretherton (talk) 13:15, 17 November 2010 (UTC)


 * This is not a tourist brochure nor a NT booklet, it is "supposed" to be encyclopedic and focussed. You can disagree all you like but it is not a repository for trivia. The most important and largest section should be about the building. Frankly the rest is distracting at best.--J3Mrs (talk) 13:24, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
