Talk:Keynsham

Website
I changed the description of keynsham.co.uk from "the town's official website" to "a website with information about the town" as I am pretty certain it is not the "official" website (if there is such a thing). If you want to change it to something less cumbersome then go ahead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.57.96 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 30 August 2004 (UTC)

Bachelor or Batchelor
Does anyone know whether it's Horace Bachelor or Batchelor? Googling for the two variants comes out about evens. Shantavira 20:31, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

What else is needed to get this article to GA?
I've been editing this article to try to bring it closer to the guidelines at WP:UKCITIES and would be interested in what other editors think is need to get it to meet the Good article criteria? Obviously we need to revise the lead to summarise the article & reference (or remove) the uncited claims, but is there anything else which would be required?&mdash; Rod talk 08:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

2010s regeneration
Suggested for inclusion as a subsection within #Economy. I have a potential WP:COI, in that I'm personally familiar with the Council and have previously communicated with the contractor (on an unrelated issue). -- Trevj (talk) 06:10, 18 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this. I would agree that the article should include something on the "regeneration plans". I have a couple of issues with the proposed text and suggest we work on it here until consensus can be agreed and then put it into the article. My comments would be:
 * Several of the sources are : BD online - the full stories are only available to registered users. I know this doesn't stop them being used but means I can't verify the content supports the claims made.
 * The citations include several "bot generated titles" which need checking - I prefer the use of Template:Cite web
 * Refs 4,5,12 & 15 "This is Bristol" don't load for me - this may be temporary
 * I'm not sure Keynshampeople (ref 6) would count as a reliable source - I wouldn't include the quote "of a kind that is hard to find", and the shop title Handyman's, but I guess that is personal preference.
 * I'm not sure what "proceeding significantly" in the last sentence means - perhaps another form of words.
 * Happy to look again at this.&mdash; Rod talk 19:17, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for taking the time to review the request. In response to your comments:
 * I also noticed that some of the sources appeared to be paywalled - the first time I read them, they were accessible, and were presented to me as part of a news search... when I then reopened them, it wasn't the same. However, I'd request that they be accepted here in good faith.
 * I normally try to exercise a bit more diligence with refs, and generally use reference templates - apologies for not doing so in this case but I didn't have time... if anyone cares enough about the GA status (assuming it's still valid, which IMHO is questionable) then they're welcome to reformat them.
 * I agree about the Keynshampeople ref, but its use isn't really claiming anything not also cited elsewhere - as for the name Handyman's, the shop is AFAIK notable (if not in Wikipedia terms) to those from the Whitchurch/Keynsham area, and I feel that its disappearance is relevant to the Keynsham article. Your comment on the "hard to find" quote is valid, but I think the description itself is equally valid - if you know the shop, you'll probably agree that it'd be hard to find an independent hardware shop of that size nowadays.
 * "Proceeding significantly" was used in order to distinguish the preliminary work (i.e. removal of any valuable or dangerous materials) from the work undertaken by the "demolition experts" referred to in ref. 15 - the phrase could perhaps be replaced with experts moving in, or similar.
 * Regarding editors' preferences and seeking consensus, I'd say that the proposed edit (or a close incarnation of, bearing in mind the above) could be made by whoever's willing to do so. Any points disagreed with (even if by the same editor making that edit) could then be addressed with subsequent separate edit(s). Is that any good? Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 20:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)


 * OK This is Bristol refs now working so my tweaks would be the ref templates & loosing the Keynsham people citation - it is covered by the "This is Bristol" one. As below:


 * If you are happy with this version I will add it.&mdash; Rod talk 21:37, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much. That looks fine. As development continues and the new shops are open, I expect there'll be more positive reporting on the scheme, which can then be given due weight in the article. -- Trevj (talk) 06:40, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * OK I've added it in to the article.&mdash; Rod talk 08:03, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
