Talk:Fowelscombe

Latest revert by Lobsterthermidor
I've undone User:Lobsterthermidor's latest revert because it removed too many beneficial changes without adequate explanation. He should explain here why the changes made to the article since 16 April needed to be reverted. —S MALL JIM   22:46, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

I've also moved the article back to "Fowelscombe" from "Manor of Fowelscombe". The consensus regarding the use of articles entitled "Manor of ..." was that it is intended to stop articles on villages etc from being overwhelmed by the voluminous detail that Lobsterthermidor adds about the descent of the same-named ancient manor. See Talk:The_Grange, Broadhembury, and other discussions that took place around 2016, which I can't find now(*). Anyway, the details of this house and estate can be merged with the details of its owners without being WP:UNDUE, so the problem does not apply here. Consequently we should follow the reliable sources and use the simple title. —S MALL JIM   23:47, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

(*) Update: The main discussion about splitting manorial descents into their own articles was at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements/Archive 3, way back in 2013. More recent discussions have emphasised the fact that the content of our articles should broadly reflect the balance of topics found in the body of reliable sources on the topic, per WP:PROPORTION. —S MALL JIM   11:19, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
