 * 1) Article needs to be expanded using WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
 * 2) References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. (See WP:References, WP:V], and [[WP:CITE for guidance.)

Untitled
A disambiguation page might be necessary: Congleton is both a town and a borough. (Added on 21:24, July 6, 2005 by User:82.36.232.110)
 * Done!  DDStretch    (talk)  00:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I am pretty sure the actual rhyme, or atleast another rhyme(seemingly the main rhyme) Not the rubbish that is on the wiki page now....and the 1 the council uses on its informational boards. Is... "Congleton rare, Congleton rare, Sold the Town Bible to buy a new bear." Apart from on a council informational board within congleton, this can also be found on www.econgleton.co.uk. So if some one wants to change it...or add both.? --Duncan2688 20:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

The repeated addition of Gerry Tobin to the Notable Residents section
Adding Gerry Tobin to the Notable Residents section is not really appropriate. If one reads WP:NN, especially WP:NN, one sees the following sentences:

Similarly, WP:NOT has, as point 5, the following sentences:

It also contains the following footnote:

Consequently, I am kindly asking User:82.2.152.193 to refrain from adding this information a third time, after it has been removed on two occasions. DDStretch   (talk)  17:38, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

New reference link and toponymy claim
Useful literature reference- True knowledge. Can any one give a reference to the OE: Yongleton claim my by ip-user. All googles seem to point to previous removed wikitext. Any ideas? We still have unsupported claimsd about Bug-town and Tin-town I suspect this factoid stems from this era. If true it may be possible to work it into the Toponymy- can anyone find a non circular reference. --ClemRutter (talk) 16:09, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw that, too. I suspect that the IP was citing a circular reference without realizing it. I cannot find any reliable sources to support the assertion. Location (talk) 18:12, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Notable People
The Notable people are listed in three sections in alphabetical order. In the edit area and hidden from view is a request that they remain in Alpha order. And there is a comment (by me), also hidden. May I open this issue up for discussion?

Do people have views - Apha order or Date order?
