Talk:Combe Down

Article needs additional references
Hi, I tagged the article as the following sections have no references at all Does anyone have any sources they can add to verify these sections? --Pontificalibus (talk) 00:22, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Stone mines
 * Site of Roman Villa
 * De Montalt Mill
 * Local flora
 * I've added several references to the sections which lacked them (& removed the banner) hopefully these are now satisfactory.&mdash; Rod talk 14:07, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Village category
The village category of Combe Down is tricky. It was never a village during the existence of Bath and North East Somerset, as it was absorbed into Bath in the 1950s, and is no longer a village. In this respect it is in the same position as Twerton and Weston, Bath which do not use a Village category. So for correctness these three should either be in Category:Villages in Somerset as a former Somerset village, or in no Village category reflecting the current position as with Twerton and Twerton. I'm inclined to drop the Village category. Views? Rwendland (talk) 10:03, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know the place, so perhaps it isn't really a village in any sense; but the article describes it as a village several times (talking about the present day), so if that's justified, then I think it can also be categorized as a village.--Kotniski (talk) 10:18, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It should definitely be in Category:Districts of Bath, Somerset & Category:Electoral wards in Bath and North East Somerset each of which cover the whole area, however the small area around the church, shops & as far as Firs Field is known by locals (my parents in law live there) as "the village" - being the traditional centre rather than newer housing estates etc. I think this reflects difficulties in definition of what is a village, which doesn't mean anything in ONS Census data or local government circles.&mdash; Rod talk 10:25, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Lists of Listed buildings and external links
There has been some good work going on with this article recently however I would suggest that the external links list is getting too long. External links gives some guidance but I would suggest removing the Nursery, Doctors surgery, garage, primary school, cricket clubs and the photograph collections (this is what the link to the Wikimedia Commons category should be doing. I would also suggest that the list of listed buildings would be better in prose and perhaps only include those which are particularly significant per Manual of Style/Embedded lists. There are also significant sections of the text which are not supported by citations Verifiability explains why this is important and Citing sources explains various ways to do this (but if you need any help with this let me know).&mdash; Rod talk 19:57, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Having looked a little more closely I note there are a lot of unverified claims which need citations to support them. I would also suggest using the guidelines and suggestions for article structure and content, laid out at WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements, which seems to have been changed recently. Using national guidelines helps the reader to navigate through consistent formats of multiple pages.&mdash; Rod talk 11:03, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Storm of 1987.
I wonder if it's worth having a section on the storm of 1987 and the effects on Rainbow Wood.

I remember as a kid the wood being closed for some time after while they cleared it all... which was quite sad. I'd love to see photos of before and after. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.35.155 (talk) 11:05, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
