Images
The images in this article might be improved if you formatted them in this manner, Image:sample.jpg|thumb|right|200px|This is a description of the image (you need to put double square brackets around it). This makes the images easier to place into context. Parrot of Doom 11:50, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

SSSI Status
I believe the moor is a site of special scientific interest, perhaps because of the range of vegitation, does anyone have any information on this? Gomez2002 09:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)


 * No, as far as I can ascertain it's only a SBI so far which is a lesser designation than SSSI and non-statutory. There used to be a sign saying so on the moor but it rotted and fell down. It's certainly not listed as an SSSI but then it's not on the SBI list for Manchester either. However the lists don't always seem to be too comprehensive as I've found other sites in the area missing from them. However, various Salford council web pages say it's an SBI. If you want to check, contact the chief ranger Jo Regan [Jo.Regan@salford.gov.uk] Richerman 14:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Time for GA?
It's about time this article was a GA. What say we do a preliminary review before it's formally submitted? I can see a few areas where a GA reviewer is likely to throw up some objections, but nothing that can't fairly easily be fixed. I'd offer to carry out the GA review myself, but I don't want to be seen to be favouring the GM project in any way, so reluctantly I can't. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 17:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It's almost there but there are couple of things to tidy up yet. I've been working through the references as time allows but there are still about five that need to be formatted with citation templates. I'm also not sure about the lead as I've just realised there is a bit about the rangers and the Friends of Kersal Moor that isn't covered elsewhere in the article, but I'm not sure where else it could go. I'll give it another look over on Thursday if I get time. Also the article could do with re-rating by someone on the project as I think it would it would be a bit embarrassing to put an article rated as start-class by the project up for GA.

 * There are a few issues that ought to be tidied up before a GA review, which is why I suggested a GA review preview. But no pressure, whenever you think the article is ready. :-) --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 23:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, don't forget, WP:LONDON has more GAs than WP:GM, so there's a little pressure. ;) Do we think a formal peer review might help? --Jza84 | Talk  12:59, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sure it would. Richerman (talk) 14:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Turnpike
As part of the other article I'm doing, I discovered that the "Agecroft District of the Pendleton Trust" crosses clean through Kersal Moor, along Moor Lane and Singleton Road - it passes right by the Kersal tollhouse. The road also crosses right through the middle of a large race track. The reference is in the GM turnpikes article if you'd like to use it. Co-ordinates on www.old-maps.co.uk are 381900 x 402000. More details are here, the author has given me his sources if you'd like to use that information as well. Parrot of Doom (talk) 22:54, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
