Talk:St James Church Alperton

This is only my second article after writing Hamilton Road Cemetery, Deal, so any advice, error-correction, or wikifications are more than welcome. Thanks in advance. Kbaughan1


 * I'd say you need to work on the sources. Those you have are rather dubious and often don't support what they're cited for. For example, much of the "foundation" section seems to be based on the second source, not on the first. I can't tell where all the organ details come from - maybe they're from the documents of the London Metropolitan Archives, but if so, you should clarify which one, and those documents look like primary sources anyway. The "redundancy and demolition" and "new place of worship" sections also seem to be based on primary sources only, and the latter doesn't even cite its sources. Also, it's rather off-topic; the new church's mission statement tells us nothing about the demolished church which is the topic of this article. You may also want to ask WT:WikiProject Architecture or WT:WikiProject England for more help. Huon (talk) 01:18, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Huon, that's pretty helpful. There are a couple of published books on the general subject which should help me to sort out the sourcing issues you've identified and avoid any reliance on primary sources. About time I visited the library again! Hope to have some progress on that in the next week. Kbaughan1 —Preceding undated comment added 11:21, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
