Talk:English folklore

Parish Ales as folklore?!
Before the English Reformation, Parish Ales were brewed and sold to raise funds for the parish. Many perhaps most parishes had a church-house close to the church, where, amongst other things, the ale was brewed. It is not uncommon for church-houses to have survived as pubs — quite independently of the church. See for example Eamon Duffy’s Voices of Morebath where the practice is described in some detail. I cannot see how it is in any sense “folklore”. Penelope Coleman (talk) 20:25, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It depends upon how you define "folklore". As a calendar custom, it would be accepted by most definitions. Neil S. Walker (talk) 10:11, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Remove 'In other media' section?
I'm thinking of removing the entire 'in other media' section since it seems too difficult and unnecessary to continuously update. An interested reader could probably go to the page of a certain piece of folklore to see other media of it.

Also, is it recommended for me to post these kinds of high-impact changes on the talk page? I'm a new editor of Wikipedia and I'm wondering how far we should go with the 'be brave' thing :) Emmder (talk) 08:16, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

UPDATE! I've just removed that section but please go to my talk page or talk here if you want to discuss. Emmder (talk) 23:40, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
