Talk:The Tumbledown Dick

Questions about my edits
User:Gtebbutt asked on my user talk page about a couple of my edits to the page... I removed the nickname "the tumbly" because it seems like a fairly obvious abbreviation, and I can't see that it really adds anything; I'm content if you feel strongly about it and want to put it back in. I removed the bit about the demolition because the source given didn't support it - while we might assume McD's are going to demolish it, the news article only mentions they've bought it.

Completely overhauled
I've given this article a total working-over because it did not conform to our guidelines in numerous ways, including structure, formatting and content.

I would ask the original authors of this article to spend some time reading Manual of Style and Citing sources. Specifically, articles on historic buildings don't need to be an exhaustive list of every time time they're mentioned in a source; sources should support the bulk of the article, not be it. That is to say, don't write things like "In 17xx, So-and-so mentioned X in his Annals of Whatnot..." unless the fact of the mention in a source itself is a notable fact, or the source is a particularly notable one. —  Scott  •  talk  16:11, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Outdated
The newest news report I can find on The Tumbledown Dick is that the demolition was in progress. Seeing as this news report was a few months ago, I'm sure that this building must be gone by now. (pinging, , , , ) --Lewis Hulbert (talk) 23:32, 14 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Work appears to be in progress, but the only source I have is a facebook post (with photos) - Khendon (talk) 18:21, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, the McDonald's opened in October 2014. Phooto (talk) 20:24, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Can't add a image
So I'm trying to add a image of the reconstruction of the Tumbledown Dick but if I try to save it I wouldn't let me so what should I do? Mathew James Hall (talk) 12:52, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Updating the Tumbledown dick image
Should we really change the Tumbledown dick image to The McDonald's image or leave it because it looks a bit outdated that now we have a McDonald's there? Mathew James Hall (talk) 22:34, 3 April 2017 (UTC)


 * The article is predominantly about the pub so I think that image is ok, but it would be good to have an image of the building as it currently looks, or during its conversion, in the Conversion section. WaggersTALK  13:45, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
